Bent Creek finish

I plan to make this into an ornament and it's already so large that I didn't stitch the snowglobe. I had a great idea, though. I think I might stitch the snowglobes on 28/32 ct so they'll make a nice ornament rather than this huge monster. I could probably get smaller buttons, too.

Here's the Nativity Snow Globe:

Bracelet finish

Hooray!! It took 4 hours over 2 days to attach all the charms and dangles to the Shepherd's Bush bracelet. Whew! LOL I put all the charms on except for the last one: cherish. I didn't have enough links to keep them all double-spaced. I can always use it on something else since it's a terrific charm.

This is a wearable companion piece to the SB Cherish Sampler. Each month's motif has a corresponding charm. The dangles pick up common colors for the month.

Another quick finish

This was the kit of the month at The Stitching Post for November. I started and finished the piece last Sunday. Love these quick stitches!!!

Cherish Sampler finished

I finished stitching the 2006 exclusive Cherish Sampler from Shepherd's Bush. Just have to put the buttons on! This is my third SB finish in a row! I have an oldie from 1988 upstairs waiting for me. Maybe this is the month!



I don't recall the color of the fabric, but it's a light pink. Cherub? Maybe.


I was feeling like I wanted an outing so I bundled up and went to Savage Mill. It used to be a weaving/cording mill, but it's now full of great gift shops. My favorite shop there (and possibly on the planet) is Artcraft. You never know what you'll find there. I picked up a star Christmas ornament that's actually a 5 piece wooden puzzle. The lady ahead of me in line had a colapsable vase! Who knew?! I also picked up a little something for me and another in a different color as a Christmas present. They were having a special holiday event this weekend and I heard a keyboard performer and saw a magician. I had a nice time.

Shepherd's Bush finish

I plan to make this into a Christmas ornament rather than the necklace it's supposed to be. I can use something else in the necklace hardware.

This was started after dinner yesterday and finished during the 11 o'clock news. I like fast finishes!

Katrina's RR and Shepherd's Bush finishes

Katrina's RR is from Drawn Thread: The Wildflower Garden and The Sanctuary. The geese I just copied from the area next to mine to make a flock of Canada geese.



This is an early Tina Richards design from the Vanessa-Ann book Sleepytown Days. It's called Balloon Woman and it was fun to do. The fabric is an overdyed blue from Charles Craft that I picked up at A.C. Moore. There's a goose on the chart to the right of the child, but I didn't care for the proportions so I didn't stitch it.

Finished my part on Kathy's RR

This is from Our House by Goode Huswife. I liked all the colors and although the leaves are gone from the trees in my area, it is, after all, fall and I was inspired.

I've finished a few things lately, but the computer with dial-up goes so slow I didn't want to invest that kind of time into the process. Now with broadband, it works like it should!

Here's what I've finished lately:

Graphique Needlearts "Nine Lives"



Lizzie Kate's Hocus Pocus (to be finished as an ornament)



Plum Pudding's spells:



Pat’s Neighbourhood RR:



I've started Kathy B's RR, but it's late so I didn't get far. Much more will be done tomorrow.
