The Last One

I am finally finished with Please Pass the Biscornu. I managed to stitch a biscornu for everyone in the exchange. Two stitchers dropped out and one didn't stitch one for me in return. Which means I came out three short.

All in all though I received some beautiful biscornus and love my collection. Thanks everyone who sent me these gems.

I am happy to be finished stitching biscornus for a while. There are a lot of designs out there that I would love to add to my collection and you can be sure that they will be stitched for me. I have at least 16 of them and they are all exchanges. (In the past 2 years) I think I need at least one that I can say that I stitched and finished. lol.

This one I stitched for Sheila. She has received it and says she likes it.

I thought I would share with you the biscornu that I received from Sheila. It is one of my favorites. I love the turquoise floss and the design she used.  I received this beauty back in January. She also sent along some Crescent Colors.

I have started stitching on LHN Frosty Flake and  I am making some progress. I still need to sit down at the sewing machine and do some finishing.

 I have been slowly stitching on this design by The Workbasket.
The yellow was actually supposed to be a lighter color (DMC 677) but it didn't show up well enough on the Golden Sand. Suggested fabric was a little more orange (Lakeside Linen Silver Fir),.

I as going to try and dye some fabric but, decided to go with this piece I found in my stash. I haven't decided what colors I am going to use in finishing but will work at it tomorrow. I am anxious to see how it works out.

I am still stitching on my LHN ornaments. I don't have too much more to stitch on The Merry Skater. It is stitched on 32 count Tumbleweed by Wichelt Imports. I thought I liked it when I first started it but I found out it makes my eyes cross when I try to see the holes. I found that I can see it better in the sunny part of the day.
I missed it today because I took a nap. :-(

I spent most of the day trying to get my scanner to work. I don't know what happened to it but it has gave me a bad headache. I messed around and managed to get my printer to quit working too. My DS came and did a system restore
and now at least I have my printer and my photo imaging back. I have some freebies I want to print. I saw where Karen had stitched them and fell in love.

I really need to get the ball rolling and get some super fast stitching and finishing done.
Stay tuned and we will see what happens.
