Christmas Ornament Finishes

I haven't been blogging much lately but I sure have been stitching!!!!!

The first 3 ornaments are from the 2015 JCS Special Holiday Issue - Christmas Ornaments.

Merry Christmas - Samplers Not Forgotten

Winter's Eve - The Prairie Schooler

Very Merry Christmas - Medina Originals

The next are ornaments from the CCN Classic Collection - Holly Jolly and By the Chimney.

The final ornament is from LHN - Deer Valley Inn.

I will be back later with some more finishes and some new starts.

Thank you for looking!!!!

I was suppose to post pics of my finishes and my purchases for the month of April last weekend but alas life got in the way. I have time now to catch-up.

My 3 finishes for April that used to earn some SFS spending bucks are the following:

Page 3 of Ink Circles "99" (The first 2 pages were stitched within 6 months of purchasing the pattern so didn't qualify for money earned)

Bee Happy Featuring Holmsey Hare © G. French (Stitchers Anon) I finished it in April but only got around to mounting it on a keepsake box today.

The following are some of my purchases I made last month including the 3 charts are ordered out of fear that the may disappear before I got around to buying them.

I am going to try to refrain from ordering any more charts (outside of my subscription ones) for May and June.

Despite my best intentions I haven't got around to finishing the beading the "Sunflower Fairy" and I am running behind in my stitching on "99". I hoping to get a least another page done this month.
I have pulled out another DUCJC2015 start this weekend and made significant progress on it so far.

Because I was so busy with Guiding things (it's cookie time) last month I forgot to post my TUSAL picture. Better late then never.

Earlier this week my DH and I once visited the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa in Moose Jaw, SK. We love it there so much we are making it an annual event. This year we made a day trip to the town of Gravelbourg, SK - "A Touch of Europe on the Prairies".

My final picture is of my "Kentucky Derby Hat" I put together on Thursday for our (Girl Guides) Kentucky Derby themed Area Annual General Meeting and Dinner this coming Wednesday. I used the hat from one of my bridal showers (it has been sitting at the top of closet for the past 29 years), a piece a ribbon and a bow from my stash and a few items I picked up from the dollar store. I am quite pleased with the result.

That is it for now. Take care and happy stitching!!!!!!!!

Thank you for visiting!!!!!!!!

Catchup Time!

If you read my earlier post you will understand why I didn't feel like posting last weekend. However, throughout this difficult time I did continue to stitch. It was a great help and now I am ready to post an update.

First off, I finished another Christmas ornament.

I also made further progress on "99" and the Sunflower Fairy.

Only 60 more bottles to go.

I have finished all the the stitching (including the back stitching) and now I am ready to add the beads.

My goal for next weekend is to have all the beading done on the Sunflower Fairy and to complete 6 more bottles of beer on "99".

I am also currently stitching a free chart from Stitchers Anon Facebook page - Holmsey Hare's Haven. It is called Be Happy and features Holmsey Hare next to a Daisy. I stitching it in memory of my MIL who enjoyed life to the fullest and always had a smile on her face. Her favourite flower was a Daisy.

Here is my progress to date:
