My New Year's Day Start

And finish!
 
"Glory House"
Chessie and Me
Linen and Silks as kitted
 
This tiny little over one bird nearly did me in!
 
 
 And I framed it as well.  :o)
 

While I was in the framing mood I decided to finish up "Not all of us" as well.  I added a little rick rack and the homespun I auditioned:

 
 
 
I am not sure if I really like it. I think I will let it "age" for a day or two before I change anything. I left a large enough margin on the stitched portion so I can make it into something else if it doesn't "grow" on me as it is.
 
I would like to pass this pattern along if anyone is interested.  It would be the pattern only (there is also a pattern for a little pincushion included) no linen, buttons, or charm as I used those.  Just let me know in the comments if you would like to put your name in the hat and if there are several of you that want it, I will draw a name in a few days.
 
I have really enjoyed reading your blogs this week and seeing all of your new starts and stitching plans for 2013.  Which reminds me...I really should make myself a list of the things I want to finish this year. 
 
Wishing you a week filled with lots of stitching time!

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!
