Distracted

Hello friends! Thank you for all of your compliments on my latest finishes.  I do appreciate them.

I certainly didn't intend to wait so long before announcing the winner of the Lizzie Kate pattern.  Without further ado....the winner is Sally!  Sally, I do hope you enjoy stitching this one as much as I did. 

I started stitching a little Christmas piece but became distracted by this:

"The Farmer's Wife"
from Friendship Samplers by With Thy Needle
32 ct Khaki linen/DMC floss


I am trying to determine if I want to "age" it a bit with coffee before I finish it.  I do think it looks nice as is but...

I have also been distracted by these:
 
I bought these in anticipation of Brenda's next release.  I can hardly wait and I don't think I will have any trouble finding someone to help me eat the chocolates.  :o)

Cold and Icy

Image
Hello friends!  It has been cold and icy here this weekend.  Work closed early Friday and the ice was so bad yesterday we didn't even open.  I took advantage of the extra time and did the finishing on my With Thy Needle Friendship samplers. Victorian Motto cluny lace trim for this one. Chenille - again from Victorian Motto. I completed the stitching on this "Bluebird Serenade" and finished it up too.  I tried a new technique for me with the ric rac - I wove two different shades of pink together. See how different it looks?  Love it! And here they are, so happy together! I also spent some time with my sewing machine and made up these mug mats for Valentine's Day.  This is the January Label Crew project by Sweetwater. I had several scraps left over and since I am not one to waste such pretty bits... I used them to make these sweet fabric valentines.  :o)   A winner has been selected....

I Stitched!

Something about this series really appeals to me. I just love the look of chalkboards but they are so messy. This way I get the chalkboard but not the mess! I have an idea for my finish using this little chalkboard I found at Wal-Mart. I think with a bit of Briwax and some ribbon it will be cute. I just hope it turns out like the picture in my head. Stay tuned!
