About Me

My Photo
Currently unemployed for the 1st time in 35 years! Have finally made the move back to my home town and am enjoying being part of small-town life again. Like most stitchers, I have a stash that I could never possibly deplete in 3 lifetimes and I love to go stash diving at least once a month! I recently lost my oldest kitty companion that I had since kitten-hood. My one remaining furbaby is 16-1/2 and a constant source of enjoyment! My family and friends are very important to my life. They help keep me grounded and sane and I'm very grateful to have them with me thru life's journey.

Ornament finishes and a secret revealed!

Here are the ornaments I spoke of a post or 2 ago.  I finished them up during the week before Christmas and now I have to decide how I want to finish them.  They are actually all stitched on one piece of fabric and I think they would make a lovely bell pull/banner, but they would also look really pretty finished individually.  I just don't know!  LOL

Another finish that I can now share is the Mystery Keepsake exchange piece I stitched for Lani.  This was a no-brainer when I saw this pattern out of the others that she sent along. 

It was a challenge with all the back-stitching but
it came out beautifully.  And she was delighted with it so that makes it all worth-while.

This is Musical Alphabet from Jeanette Crews Designs.  I also learned about some instruments that I didn't know existed while stitching this!

Thanks again for all of those who check out my blog.  I appreciate the support.

Next stop...  2011!
