NINA

All done!  All her sparklies have been added....she was one of the quickest letters that I have stitched, so far.

Cutie!

OMG!  Look what came in the mail yesterday!  She is a pincushion/fob for your scissors (although kind of large-about 6" tall)  She is weighted so that you can sit her on the arm of your chair or sofa. She is holding a little crocheted basket with a tiny crocheted scarf inside!  The end of the strap has a nice Velcro piece so that you can attach your scissors.  Those are my 6" Gingher trimmer scissors I use for my quilting.

Moderation

Just a quick note....I took everyone's advice and enabled comment moderation. :)
Let's see how things go for now.

"Nina"

Nora Corbett's Letter "N" Fairy - Nina. Yep....started another letter fairy, finally. Nina is the fourteenth one! She is one of my favorites - her dress is purple and I love the gold beads that go down the leg of the letter "N". Here she is, with the fairy done (except for her beads) and the first half of the letter N stitched:
Plus, a little fairy close-up:








































*** Note....I may have to stop my little game with the one word titles for my posts....It seems that they attract more unwanted attention, for some reason....if my problems with undesirable posts continues, I may have to resort to restricting the comments that are allowed.***

~ And, as the saying goes (and one I follow when posting on others blogs, if you cannot say something nice, then say nothing at all!~

Sprinkles

Yep, sprinkles....I put little pink and white sprinkles on my chocolate cupcake! My first block is done for Snowbound.

Special

As soon as I typed the word "special" it made me think of the Church Lady from Saturday Night Live..."isn't that special?"....lol:)) But it's really the word in my Lizzie Kate piece....
What is "special" is there is another reindeer/Rudolph!! Can you believe it? I think now the little guys are looking for me! Here's Rudolph's close-up. Isn't he "special?" Look how little he is...and yes, there is a red little nose, too!

Since I needed a little break from all the "big" projects I was working on, I pulled this one out and did a few letters and Rudolph.



I also wanted to take a moment to explain the end of my last post. I have been getting a few unwanted replies on recent posts as well as past posts. Sorry, if I sounded a bit abrupt...but I honestly don't want to be the vehicle to sell other's products or read derogatory comments. If I do not recognize your post, (most Anonymous posts) I will probably delete it. My blog is meant to be a "happy" place....stitching, quilting, pets....fun things. If a post makes me unhappy, I reserve the right to get rid of it! OK - time to jump down from that soap box!

Have a great weekend!

Empty

Funny word to start, isn't it? On my reindeer quilt I have two "empty" boxes. These were created by trying to make everything fit together with all the different size reindeer and the sleigh. There is one next to Rundolph and one at the upper left. I decided to add a few words in those boxes. Here are the ones next to Rudolph.

Lots of backstitching, but I like it. I was originally going to use a reddish thread, but thought that there was so much going on already in this quilt to make it a bit more simple and (not quite) blend in with the overall quilt. (I did try to erase the pencil lines with a fabric eraser....looks like I have to try a bit harder!)


**Just a note - If you want to leave an "anonymous" post....at least have the courtesy to sign your name. If not, I will probably delete it. I really do not want to have to resort to restricting who gets to comment. Thank you.**
