Time for the reveal - Animal Antics Exchange

It's official.  The last package in the Animal Antics exchange has been received so now we can post our pictures.

First up are all the wonderful goodies Marcy sent to me.  The stitched pillow ornament, bear blanket and stuffed bear are now out at our trailer where we have an unofficial bear theme going on.

 The stuffed bear has joined my other stuffed stitching buddies out there.

This is what I stitched and sent to Kim who had cats on her list.  The stitched piece is call Nine Cats and is designed by Glory Bee.

I will be back later with my progress on the L*K Halloween Mystery SAL. I am running a little behind with this one due to too many battles with Senor Frog.

Take care and Happy Stitching!

 

Christmas Ornaments Update

The following are the 3 ornaments I finished stitching back in October. I finally got around to finishing them up as ornaments this evening.

I have 3 Halloween ornaments that I haven't yet finished yet. Maybe this weekend!!!!!!!!!

Happy Stitching!!!!!!!!!!!

More Finishes

After almost 2 years I finally finished "Twas the Night Before Christmas" this weekend. Thank you Shelley for this adorable design. I am thinking of making it into a wall hanging. I just need to find an appropriate Christmas fabric for the back and the sides.

The next completed project is a design by Glory Bee Designs. I thought the saying was so cute. It is a little large for a tree ornament so I will probably hang it on a door knob.

Finally I finished another Nutcracker for my Nutcracker tree:

That is all the finishes for now. Maybe next weekend I will have some pictures to post.

Happy Stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice Surprise This Morning!!!

I woke up this morning to find a e-mail from Nancy of Glory Bee Counted Cross Stitch Design. She has just finished stitching LHN's Strawberry House (click on Nancy's name to see a picture of it on her blog) and has picked my name from her list of followers to receive the pattern.

I am so excited. I love LHN designs and can't wait to stitch this one.

Nancy has some great designs also. If you haven't checked out her website yet I recommend you do so now. I especially love Sweet Cabin GB-41, Margarita GB-46, and Born To Stitch GB-80. She also has some great freebies.

Here is a Christmas ornament design by her that I stitched in 2006.


I also stitched the original "Priceless" design in 2005. It had to be revamped and is now called Stitching With Friends GB-88. I think I might get that one as a companion piece.
