Same finish... different buttons

Thank you!!! for all the comments.
I am pretty sure the buttons won the vote.
But Thanks to Cathey (aka Pumpkin) and AFWife, I changed it. I went to Lynn's of Madison
this weekend and picked out the snowflake buttons, then I stitched a couple of smyrna's
I was going to make a pillow this morning, but I need matching material, that is not in my tote of fabrics. How's it look now??

While I was at Lynn's on Saturday with Anna (no blog) (waving at ya) I picked out some fabrics to go with already had charts in my stash. I started 13 Owls and stitched all day watching the football games.

While I live in Bear country on the border of the Packers, I would like to Congratulate the Packer's win.

Good Luck against the Steeler's

"Thirteen Owls" by Plum Street Samplers

stitching on 40ct Purely Primitive w/ Crescent Colours

The instructions are 1 floss over 1 linen thread, I choose the 1 floss over 2 linen thread, do you blame me??!!

I have a really dumb question...

How do you know when your needle is wore out and you need to throw it out and start with a new fresh one??

Do you use only a needle for so long or so many projects??

I'd really love to hear what you have to say on this

Happy Stitching!!!!

Thanks so much for all your comments.

Thanks to Vonna for sending it to me. I loved it from the moment I seen it on her blog.
