A Sheep & A Flake

It has been so long since I posted on my blog. Time is just flying by so fast. I have set stitching goals for every day and have actually accomlished quite a bit.
I am a little slack on finishing and keep putting it off one more day.
I did manage to finish a couple Little House Ornaments. Just  simple finishes cause I haven't been feeling so well.

I wanted to see if I could make some of the patchwork ornaments so I have been trying some of those. It was kind of hard to match up the fabrics with whatI had in my stash but for  a first time novice, I think it turned out pretty good.

I have also stitched a JBW Christmas Tree  and I am thinking of doing a flatfold so I can stand it on the mantel.  I changed the colors and used Variegated green floss and pink for the border.
 I found the green floss lying on the floor one day (don't know how it got there.) and it looked like such a fun color that I just had to stitch something with it.
Then I searched for a couple hours for DMC 777 and when I finally did find it, it looked awful with the green so I changed to a pretty shade of pink.

That is going to be one project for today plus finishing up Joy To The World by LHN. I also have one snowflake to stitch on Red House in Winter and adding beads to Snowy Pines so I can finish them. It seems like I keep putting of doing this. What in the world is wrong with me? lol

A Snowman Arrives In Australia

The snowman ornament that I stitched for my partner Annette, The Seaside Stitcher has arrived in his new home. Annette likes snowmen so she says she is very happy with him.

I liked the design and at first was going to finish him into a heart, than I kind of freaked out cause I wasn't sure about cutting the heart template and didn't want to mess him up. lol

I found some orange fabric in my stash and I think it matches him perfectly. The corners looked bare so I added some orange buttons. I used white twisted cord and added a white pull bead on the hanger.

I am still busy stitching on my Pear Tree by LHN. It is my work project and I haven't been able to stitch on it much because we have been working shorter hours. I hope to be finished tomorrow so I can start on the 3rd ornament, LHN He's A Flake.

For about a week most all flights were canceled because of the snow in Washington and Philadelphia. Things are getting back to normal now though we did have a few delays.

I have been sitting here for 2 hours getting caught up on my emails and blogs so I guess I better sign off and get some stitching done, maybe find a movie to watch before I get too sleepy.

Sharing A New Ornament

I am now the proud owner of an ornament stitched by Leah for the Prairie Schooler Exchange. She selected an older bookmark freebie to stitch for me and made it into an ornament. I love the colors (she mentioned that it reminded her of spring and I totally agree with her). She backed it with a pastel yellow and green plaid fabric that is a perfect match. I love it so much, thanks Leah.
