Christmas Exchange

This was such a  lovely surprise to find in my mailbox this morning.  It was sent to me froma  lovely lady in UK.  I will take more photos to show it off a bit more!

Fresh Fallen Snow by Little House Needleworks

Here is my recent finish of "Fresh Fallen Snow" by LHN in the JCS Ornaments issue of this year.  

I used 32ct Cashel Linen color, raw, and finished it as an Ornament.  

Must DO UFO'S By Christmas time

Very badly neglected are 2 projects that have been in my "to do"pile.
First is the chart "snow" By Bent Creek .  I am stitching this on a Charles craft pillow.

The other is a chart from DMC favorites book, 1998......yes 1998.... the fairy has been suffocating in the bag for 13 years lolol  I think it is time I let stitch her and let her shine.

Please ENCOURAGE ME!! As you can see it has been a very long while that I have not had the stitching bug.
Please help me decide by leaving a comment which of the 2 I should finish:

Snow chart... just a few stitches and I can decorate it for Christmas

the beautiful fairy that has been in the waiting for 13 years

Café by Lilli points

Well, it has been a long while since my last post.  Life has been so busy with my children and homework, gardening baking cooking and of course, housework!  Today I thought that I better get my needle and get creative before more time runs away from me

I used this piece of linen that already had most of the coffee names on it and I went along and stitched the coffee beans and the words "frappé".  A pretty quick project to get me back into things!

Fall Exchange

Here is the beautiful fall exhange I received from my partner Becky.  It is a really lovbely piece stitched in DMC thread.  The designer Heart in Hand and the name of this design is Little Pumkin in the Patch.  Becky you have captured my idea of fall in this wonderful design and I thank you.

a closer look, you can see the little acorn embellishment

Welcome Fall Cube

This was a fun Fallc ube to put together, I sent it out on one of my exchanges.  I hope my partner will like it.  I also included 2 Debees counting pins that can easily be removed.

Halloween Exchange from Natasha

Look at this lovely Halloween exchange I got!!  She made a beautiful Scissor Keep.  I adore the little pumpkin ribbon that surrounds the scissor keep.  I just love the design (The Drawn Thread - Kindered Spirits)  Thank you for all the extra goodies (kitchen towels, bucket full of candy, ribbon, fabric) and the wonderful card!!!!

Biscornu from Bonnie

This beautiful Biscornu arrived in the mail today.  I love the green colors and the pretty button on the top.  This will look so lovely decorated among my Autumn decorations.
Thank you!

Biscornu from Sheila

I just wanted to share with you this beautiful Biscornu that I received from Sheila.  So feminine!  I love it!

Scary Jack by Shepherds Bush

Here is the "Scary Jack" I finished stitching.  Woooo they are spooky!! I used 32 count blue fabric to make sure the pumpkins stick out.
