Additional pieces...

I just "pre-inherited" some items from my grandmother.  She recently moved from an apartment to a group home so she had to downsize.  These were items that I had stitched for her over the years so I'm glad that I got them back.

Here is a photo of them incorporated in with the items that I already had.  They are all identified below the photo.  Items with a * had been my grandmother's.

Happy Stitching!

Dragonflies WIP update

Hey All!

A few days ago, I had another page finish on my QS Dragonflies.  That means that I've finished the first 6 of 9 pages.  The bottom row of pages aren't full pages either, so I'm getting close to a finish!

Here it is so far:


The details:  28ct. Monet's Garden from PTP (ordered from 123stitch), stitched 1x1.

Happy Stitching!

Christmas Stitching Challenge



Well, it's time for the first Christmas Stitching Challenge update.  This is for any Christmas-related cross stitch.

I did get an ornament done already this year!  This one is a kit from Dimensions.  I didn't even remember that I had it - I found it when I went to grab a different ornament kit.  This one was barely started so I decided it was as good a place to start as any.

Here he is:


Details:  Dimensions Wind Chimes Kit #8765 - Santa Giving Gifts

The wind chimes and jingle bells were part of the kit.

That's one more ornament for my Santa tree later this year.

Happy Stitching!
