Finally Finished


Hey, Friends!
I hope everyone is warm and safely recovering from Sandy’s  impact! 

I finished stitching Mistletoe by Acorn House Designs from the 2012 JCS Christmas Ornament issue.  It was the one that drew me in first.  Of course you know I had to make it my own… instead of the called for fibers, used Nancy’s Victorian Motto threads.  The linen is a butter-ish color, so it was hard to get the white berries to show up.  Beads worked  better! Then I realized I didn’t want to stitch Merry Christmas over one, so it turned out bigger than the magazine model shows. 

Tanya of The Scarlett House designed a graph for the attendees of Stitching at the Beach, and it is darling!  Stitched over one on 28ct Tea linen (that's why I left the tag on, ladies).  Haven’t decided exactly how to finish it, but love the way Michele decided to finish hers! 

I picked up Gather, Give, Gobble from Stitch and Frame, LNS yesterday.  I love how it framed up - they always do an amazing job – and I’m really happy with my choices.

There are a couple of things in the Q-snaps, and too many to count that I’d love to do next!  I’ve done it again… joined a SAL.  I couldn’t resist the Country Cottage Needleworks monthly series, Santa’s VillageVonna has started a blog for the SAL, SSVT – Stitching Santa’s Village Together.  Hop over to take a look if you like.

DS and I went last week to see Cloud Atlas and I loved it!  Your opinions?

Thanks for stopping by to say Hello!  

I'm grateful  for football season = stitching Sunday’s!

PeaceëLoveëJoy
and Happy Stitching
