On the fifth day of 2013

Hi!!
I bet your wondering what happened to the fourth day??!!

I went to Welcome Stitchery, not much stitched that day, but I did buy stitchy stuff




Some GA threads, 40ct summer khaki for a reproduced sampler, more on that at a later date, and a Pineberry Lane design. I know not much, but I have soooo much started that I need to finish

Speaking of finishes, I have one...



Then I gave it a coffee bath and this is what it looks like now...




Feeding the Reindeer by Notforgotten Farm
Stitched on 35ct linen with DMC
Any idea's for a finish??

Anna gave me a stitchy present, I don't get many of them



A beaded candy cane ornament, a purple thread picker for frogging, the chart Christmas at Hollyberry Farm by Stacy Nash and the 35ct mink linen, I love it all. Thank you! My friend

When we went shopping Friday, we stopped at a Hobby Lobby and found these trees, 80% off clearance in the Christmas



They will be great to hang ornaments, great find at a great price

Happy stitching!!!!

Just in time....one more finish for 2012

Happy New Year's Eve...

I finished just in the nick of time for one more finish of 2012 and a very pretty one at that


"Tis the Season" by Blackbird Designs, found in the booklet, Joyeux Noel
Stitched on 40ct pear with Belle Soie silks. I didn't add the year, still debating that

In 2012... I had appropriately 27 finishes, maybe a couple more I didn't remember to add to my side bar
I turned a grandma for the 3rd time, I can't believe it!! I feel so young...
sometimes anyway, lol

There was 17 stitchers in the draw for Snowman Photobooth chart
Number 1 is the winner as you can see below.



That number 1 commenter was Shirlee over at www.farmhouseponderings.blogspot.com, please email me

I would like to thank everyone who visits my blog and those who take the time to comment. Thank You!!!!!



Wishing you and your loved ones peace, health, happiness and prosperity.

A couple finishes before the year is up

Happy Thursday afternoon

I have a couple close finishes I'm going to try to get done this year, so look for one more post

I recently finished this...




Photobooth Snowmen by Bent Creek, stitched on 32ct linen with WDW and GA threads
The third photo is my favorite, the snowman with the carrots on his head with the other snowman with his hand over his mouth giggling. If you would like to stitch this, comment letting me know you are interested in the pattern and I'll drop your name in the hat.

Another recent finish is this years retreat piece from Jan at Tree of Life Samplings



Needle's Guide stitched on 40ct peanut shell linen with GA threads

Here is a snap of Christmas Garden, I don't think it will get done until next year about this time, lol



It will go in the basket for awhile, until I get some WIP's done, then I will pick it back up.

I will leave you with a photo that I took the other night of our tree




Oh!!!!! I found a photo of the kids and the grandkids taken at Heather's on Thanksgiving
Sean, kellie, Dusty, standing
Brayden, Heather, Brianna, Chelsea and Dalton, sitting



My very own is Kellie (16) Dustin (27) and Heather (25)




I'm oh so proud of them all

If I want some more finishes this year, I better quit bragging and start stitching, lol, not many hours left

I'm sooooo addicted

to Belle Soie's silks

I couldn't help myself, I was going to stitch the cardinal slow, while stitching the branches, but.....that didn't happen



The fun part is over now and it didn't last very long.

I took a break from it today, stitched and finished this











The design is from The Blackbirds booklet, Honeysuckle Manor.

This was the before


Big difference, huh??!! at least the pincushion anyway

Good night! Good stitching!!
