2 new finishes

Good morning dear friends,
Thank you so much for stopping by.

Last night hubby and I went to dinner and took in a movie, it was nice to get away for an evening. I really enjoyed the movie, Jack Reacher, if you like Tom Cruise, you'll like the movie.

I managed to finish two ornaments this morning, my 2 last pieces before the holiday activity begins.

Season of Love by LHN

Kringles Crow by Threadwork Primatives

I really floppled back and forth with makeing them into pillow ornaments, but I didn't like the fabric I had and then I just stared at the machine wondering if I really was going to take my time, the answer was no, so I did flat ornaments and I think they came out really well.

I am having withdrawls from my LNS, I haven't been in a few weeks so I am wondering if I should head up, you know, just to say hello and take a peak...

I wish you all a Merry Christmas, please be safe and blessed.

Catching up

Hello friends,

Welcome to my newest followers, thank you for stopping by. As always I think I'll get some time to sit and stitch and well, life happens:) Weekends are no good for my stitching time, always something going on ,but this is a hobby, not a race.

I just finished a batch of peanut butter blossoms, last night M&M cookies, I am undecided if I will make cut outs or gingersnaps. It's not very productive when the kids keep coming in for taste testing, have to run them down to the freezer before they are gone.

I have two little projects going on at the moment, Season of Love, by LHN, it looks like something I could do in a day but that isn't happening :) the other is another LHN, Winter Plaid but I ran out of a color and my lns didn't have it and I just received a email from the ONS i placed an order with last week and was told they are out of it too. I wish the pattern would have mentioned it requires 2 skeins. It is what it is and we move on! I have everything ready to work on baby it's cold outside, I am undecided on my color of fabric choice, she was out of "ale" so i choose an autumn gold, the colors are beautiful on it but I'm not sure if I should order ale, what do you think....the fabric has more of an orange hue to it that what the picture shows...
