A little holiday finish. Loved stitching this.  The fabric is a light greenish (the called for fabric in the pattern).  I made a few of the cookies chocolate chip, and a few gingersnap!

a Wicked little finish

Stitched up this freebie...didn't even get it off the QSnaps yet!  Here it is...it is from Primitive Betty's  

Another Halloween finish...

I do admit my favorite holiday to stitch is Halloween!  Here is another finish. It is Waxing Moons 'Eat Drink and Be Scary' last night. It is stitched on 28 ct Jobelan called Dense Fog.

Another little ornament finish...

Stitched up this Little House Needleworks freebie called "Seven Pines" this weekend.  I probably should have used a darker fabric so the white would stand out, but was too lazy to go downstairs and dig through the stash LOL!  This is stitched on 28 count Platinum lugana. 

Here is a link to the free pattern:  http://littlehouseneedleworks.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-special-little-something.html

First finishes of 2014

I stitched up this little cardinal from the 2013 Just Cross Stitch Christmas ornament magazine. I added a bit to his tail like Carol did (stitchingdream.blogspot.com) and since I didn't have the star button either so I sort of copied Carol again (sorry Carol!) Still I think it's cute!

I also stitched up a Val's Stuff snowman. He is on light blue lugana, but the color looks grey here. 

The last picture is a Prairie Schooler that I am almost done with...just more white stitching....

Final 2013 finish

Finished this up on 12/30/13.  It is a Lizzie Kate piece called "Snow".  Just have to add the brass snowflake charm after I iron it up.  Happy New Year everyone!  Can't decide what to make my new years stitching start.  I think I would like to do an ornament a month (ala my friend Carol at stitchingdream.blogspot.com)
