LOOKING FOR Ornaments.....


I'm looking for those brass ornaments with the stitchable area in the center (or usually in the center). I'm trying to find some of these for my mom. She can't stitch very much due to her hand & her eyes, but LOVES these ornaments. I found a few for her & she did them & keeps saying how she'd love to have more. I've searched ebay & google'd everything I know to use as search words, but still haven't come up with anything. If anyone has any for sale or trade, please let me know.

Happy stitching!

Finally - A FINISH!

I finally finished "My Lady's Quaker" by Jardin Prive' this afternoon! I love how it turned out! You can find a SAL group for this design here - My Lady's Quaker SAL - join in if you like. It was a fun stitch and fairly quick, esp. since I haven't been stitching much lately! I decided to leave off the alphabet & put my initials in place of "ABC" on the left side. I'm happy with it & can't wait to get it framed!

My "to do list" just keeps getting longer & longer, and with Market coming up again this coming weekend, I'm sure I'll be able to add to it even more very soon. Yep, I'm a true addict... no doubt about it!

Thanks for stopping by & happy stitching!

Exchange sent...


This is the ornament I stitched for Shay in our Ornament Exchange Group. It's an older Prairie Schooler design from the Santa Moon leaflet, stitched on black as you can see with DMC floss. I put it on a 3.5" finishing form and I think it turned out cute. I plan to stitch another for myself!
I finished another project this afternoon & I think it's pretty cute! I can't show it yet as it's for an exchange that will take place at the Pals Fall Fling next month. I hope whoever gets it will like it. As I said, I think it's pretty cute! :-)
I am going to stitch on My Lady's Quaker this evening, or at least that's the plan. Thanks for stopping by & happy stitching!
