More Christmas Ornaments

Yesterday I spent most of the day kitting up Christmas and Halloween ornies I want to stitch in the next few weeks. I currently signed up to participate in 2 Halloween Exchanges (1 at 123 Stitch MB and 1 at SanMan Originals MB) and 1 Canadian Christmas Ornament Exchange (123 Stitch MB) so I will be working on those in the next few weeks.

The following are 2 ornies I finished stitching last weekend and put together today.

In 2008 I completed this design by Helga Mandl but it took me until this morning to put it together as a flat-fold. I cracked up when I first saw this design. I think it so appropriate for me.

I have another dishcloth still post and I will be posting later this week an contest to celebrate my 3rd Blog Anniversary. I am in process right now of putting a package together for a giveaway. Watch out for it.

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

Holidays are over................................

and I am back in the city and back at work!!!!:( I had a great time - the weather was good and I managed to get a lot of reading, knitting and stitching. Last night I scanned in some pictures so here they are.

While on holiday I found time to work on the Peacock Tapestry. I haven`t touched this project for a few weeks. I didn`t get much done but I did add a few stitches to the tree trunks on the left.


I finally finished Part 1 (of 8) of the Kustom Krafts Naptime Dragon SAL and got a bit started on the 2nd part. It is very slow going with this one but what do I do the first day I get back from holidays. I sign up to do another KK SAL. This time I will be stitching the Unicorn. Judging from the thread list I was sent the other day I think this one uses about every shade of blue in the DMC palette.



The following is a needlebook I stitched a few months ago for an exchange. I used the letter S from the Garden Alphabet by Ellen Mauer Stroh. It is freebie available on her forum.



I did manage to finish 1 SAL while on holidays. It is Cherish Each Day by Helga Mandl.



The remaining pictures are of all the dishcloths I finished knitting up in the past 2 months.

Happy Stitching (Knitting)!!!!!!!!!!!

The next picture is of my progress on the Kustom Kraft Naptime Dragon as of last week. As I mentioned earlier I am still on part 1. I love the colours in this piece and I can't wait to start on the dragon.

The final picture is one of the dishcloths I knitted in May. It is called Sea Waves. I will post a picture of the other one tomorrow. (I forgot to scan it when I did the others.)

I can report now that after over a month Julia finally received the LHN Strawberry House chart she won. She would have received it a lot sooner if I hadn't forgotten to write her street name on the envelope. Ooops!!!!!!!!!!!!! She contacted me after a couple of weeks to say that it hadn't arrived which really surprized me since most things I mail to the States takes only week. A couple of days later the package showed up in my mailbox. I spent about 30 minutes complaining to my DH about the postal service before I realized that I made the mistake. I put back in the mail the next da y with the correct address and now she has it. I hope she enjoys stitching it as much as I did.

Happy Stitching/Knitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
