Frosty Fun and Two Free Days

Oh Happy Day! I have the next two days off and you know what that means. two days of stitching and finishing up a few things. Maybe starting another.

I have several things I really want to have done by Christmas. I have a few Little House designs that I would like to stitch up. They are in previous JCS Ornament issues.

Then there is the ornament with the white cat ( A Cat in Snowman's Clothing by Hillside Samplings) that I want to stitch for Miss Abbey. I went to the LSN to purchase the perfect fabric for it and it is really calling me.

I am finishing my Prairie Schooler Exchange for my partner today and sending it on it's way.

I have received my Year Long Prairie Schooler Exchange from Marie P. She stitched for me the design "Frosty Fun" from the JCS 2009 ornament issue.

She did a beautiful job stitching and finishing it. The back has a pretty green and red holly print that really compliments the colors in the design and the cording is awesome.

I really liked this design when I saw it in the new issue and so now I am the very happy and lucky owner of this beautiful ornament stitched by Marie.

Have a great day everyone!

My New Pinkeep

I have received a most beautiful pinkeep from Marie for Stitching and Exchanging She chose a design of a colonial house that I really like. It is so delicate and beautifully stitched and finished. The back is stitched with the words, "In this keep my pins may sleep". She added a pastel green chedkered ribbon around the edges and added some pins on each side. She also sent 3 skeins of pretty floss from Australia, some pretty Lady Bird Fabric ( I really like lady birds and already have some ideas on how to use it) and some lace and ribbons that I can add to my stash. Marie also included a Key Ring from Australia. I have placed it on my ring of keys that I use at work znd wear on my belt loop. I had a hard time getting it attatched so I have no picture of it. Didn't think you wanted to see a pic
of my keys, lol. Thanks so much Marie,
