UFO finish Happy Dance

Hello!
I have been absent due to the fabulous weather. We have been hiking, (which feels really good), cleaning up the landscape, cleaning windows and patio furniture, Kellie has baseball, etc.
The last couple of days has took a turn for the worst. It is dark, cold and rainy.
It was sunny for a few hours yesterday, just enough time for me to decide to take a few pics.
It's not a huge happy dance, but I am pleased to get it out of the box, lol.



Warm Winter Wishes by Waxing Moon Designs

It's a little crooked due to laying in the grass, that needs to be cut.
I also made a biscornu and in the process of making a second one.






Autumn Biscornu by Helga Mandl

Silly me, stitched the first one by turning the fabby, so I have the diagonal corners stitched the wrong way. Not on the second one though, I marked it.

I was so happy to win LHN "My Needle's Work" over at Sharon's blog. I have have admired her blog, way before I even started my own blog. She does some awesome stitching and is so friendly. Sew! Go take a visit and see what I mean.

A very big Thanks to Sharon for being so generous (((hugs)))

I will leave you with a few pics from my yard.



P.S. Here is a Quaker freebie http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2620351850100097129gCnNhu

I am off to play catch up on my almost 300 unread blog post in my GR.

Happy Stitching!!

I love the snowman warming his rump, and that darling little fairy amongst the flowers must be your granddaughter I guess.

Both finishes are wonderful - love the garden too :-)

Wonderful finishes. Love the Waxing Moon one. That is in my stash. I think it is so cute.

Flowers look great. Good that you are working in your yard. I have not done any yet. Seems like Spring is not coming. Not doing the work in the cold.

Warm Winter Wishes turned out wonderful, what a cute finish. Glad you've been having nice weather to do things in. We had lovely weather for a bit, but then it turned colder and damp here as well, and that just seems to be sticking around now. I sure hope summer or at least real spring gets (and stays) here soon. Your biscornu turned out very sweet as well, and I loved all the beautiful pictures of your flowers.
