Ornamentified!

Here's my CEC Pumpkin finished as an ornament for my Halloween tree,

Glory!

Here's my Shepherd's Bush Glory fob with my Glory scissors. I have had this stitched, but just did the finishing today. Cute! The rick rack with beads is a different way of finishing. Something new!

New Start, Sort of...

Well, I made a decision on what to start. I've decided to work on my Needle Guardian by Teresa Wentzler. It's not really a new start...but there is barely anything done on it, other than two sides of the outer border. I'm calling this a 'barely started - new start.' :} I didn't work on it, since I didn't have most of the threads. I made a trip to Michael's today for the floss, and have started on it (again). So it is an official "start" now!

Pumpkin

OK, I'm on a roll. I have finished up three things in the past two days that I started a while ago. So, I met my goal of finishing up five things in order to have a new start;}

So now to decide what to start....such a dilemma!!

Don't Bug Me!

This is a Sweetheart Tree Design...lots of backstitching and quarter stitches. I think this is the first one of ST that I've actually stitched. This was a kit from the Knocker series. This will definitely get finished as a hanging type ornament, to hang near my "stitching nest."

I am trying to finish up a few pieces that I have that are just "so close" to being done. Of course, there are a ton more that I want to start, so I am trying something new and will "reward" myself with a new start after so many of these little finishes.

Sampler Lady

Here's my little Sampler Lady. I stitched her on 36 count Lakeside Linen's Bittersweet. She turned out really cute. I am thinking of making her into a small stand-up or flatfold. For this one, I only stitched the lady, not the entire sampler.
Thanks, Carol, for the extra thread!! (it doesn't match exactly, but it's close enough!)

Christmas Mystery

We received Part 9 of the Christmas Mystery yesterday from Martina. This part was pretty easy and quick for a change. Just a lot of stitches to fill in on the star.

It's hard to believe there are only three more parts!(excuse that stray gold thread on the edge of the star...it's just a piece that had been cut off.)
