Update - WWS

Look at all those red beads!! There are lots of sparklies on this one!

Now should I work on all that white for his beard....or move to the right hand side of his staff where there is a little more color? ;)

Questions...

Well, let's start with Gabi's....the new stash. Hmmm....sometimes I embarass myself with the amount of things I purchase. Therefore, that was one of the reasons I did not take a picture this time.
But I can list some of the things (if I remember them, since I already put them in different places!). With My Needles Fair Maiden Etui, the collaboration piece, A Petite Sampling Etui, the Workbasket's House ofAlphabets, Little by Little's O' Starry Night, Chessie & Me's Blossom Scissor Fob, Jeannette Douglas' Tiny Christmas Biscornu, all four new Prairie Schooler's and, of course, Mirabilia's White Winter Santa. Then there was the Acorn Box from Milady's Needle which I almost forgot. I also purchased the fabric for the Petite Sampling Etui and all the floss, beads and treasures for Winter White Santa....phew! (oh...and these were actually in two separate boxes!) At least if I am stitching on all of these projects, it keeps me out of trouble, right?

Chiloe, good to hear from you again! That little tree seems to bother a lot of people. For some reason, I am OK with it. It just strikes me as a new little tree just waiting it's turn to help celebrate Christmas. I think the Santa is supposed to be the focus. I am also thinking of a group type arrangement....the Santa, with the Sleigh, the eight tiny reindeer....so to me, I really wouldn't want a huge tree.

Tsk...Tsk...Tsk

That's me....shaking my finger at myself. What is it about new stash? A large box arrived yesterday afternoon with a (ahem...) few of the things I ordered from the Nashville Market. I have no willpower. I had to start one of the new projects....hence...the tsk..tsk..tsk. I know I really should behave and work on one of my (many) WIP's....but the new chart...the new floss...the pristene fabric all kept calling me. Of course, I gave in....here's my beginning of Mirabilia Designs Winter White Santa:


I am sooo enjoying working on this one, so far. I cannot wait until I can start his face!

Oh, and BTW, this is from the top of the design down...you can see a little of his crook, and to the right - the tail end of his hat.

Skipping around

Another one of those weeks...I worked a little on this, a little on that...

Here's my first WIP, MMM04 by Chatelaine Designs:


Letters from Nora, Letter J WIP:


...and last but not least, my LHN Traveling Stitcher:

ABC and some traveling ;)

I have been working on everything lately. With so many new, wonderful projects from market, I just cannot resist working on those as well as some of my other WIP's. A few more words on my ABC Lessons by Lizzie Kate:

I also worked on my Little House Needlework Traveling Stitcher (look at her tiny suitcase!):



And...I am expecting more market stuff this week!

A finish and a few packages...

The never ending packages....there are still plenty more! I did all the packages on the one side of the red ribbon.

Another finish! This letter fairy seemed endless....Please welcome, Ivy:

A little more

A little more of my sleigh....looks a bit strange right now, doesn't it? It's just that all those whites and blues are the packages. Lots and lots of color changes going on in there, for sure.



and then, a little more on my ABC Lessons (sorry, I didn't press it this time):
