Before January Leaves ...

I'm still working on some wips that really need to be done this year ... here's a picture of the Lizzie*Kate Mystery sampler.  I just started Part 3 and can't wait to have this pretty done.  I do still have lots of the border to do ... way more satin stitch then I normally like ... takes me forever to do the fill in, but I'll plug along and get it done.  I am a bit torn about what to do with the grass around the house though.  It also is done in satin stitch, sideways and well, I'm just not sure I want to mess with that.  I just might cross stitch the grass.  Thoughts?  and please excuse the wrinkles! I'm itching to start a couple of new designs that I recently received.  As soon as the fabric arrives I will definitely be starting A Red Cottage!  The minute I saw it released I knew I had to have it.  One of my dear stitching friends Kathy  emailed me and told me not to buy it, she was getting it for me for my birthday ... the chart arrived with all the floss to

Guess what I found???

I'm in a reindeer kinda mood these days ... surprised?  lol  These are two older designs.  The first one by The Prairie Schooler I started back in 2011 ... I'm really happy to have it done.  I wanted the date to be the year I finished the piece, it's charted with 2011.  Luckily I have a wonderful hubby that could see a three for me where I couldn't *smile*  and yes it looks a bit rounded ... I layed it on the couch to take the picture ...   Comin' to Town by The Prairie Schooler stitched with recommended fabric and threads I've had this design printed out for a couple of years ... I don't remember where I found it, but it was a free design ... a blogger had stitched just this part of the entire chart and well yea, I fell in love!  I'm sure you'll agree he's a beauty! Unknown designer stitched on a misc piece of fabric with these Belle Soie colors ... Teddy Bear for the reindeer, Attic Tea for the leaves, Poison Apple for the flowers and  Tortoise

I fell in love with this saying a few years ago and was thrilled when I saw it designed and ready for me stitch ... and I stayed in love with it with every stitch ... I can't wait to get it framed! Dance in the rain by Lizzie*Kate stitched with suggested fabric and threads So now what to stitch??  I do have a few wips that are yelling at me ... of course I don't open their bags very often ... hate to hear them yell lol Hope your first couple of weeks of the new year have been great!  And thanks for all the comments, I love hear from ya'll :) I hope you find your  Joy  in your stitches ... I'm grateful for a new finish ...
