Ornament #4 - Peace on Earth

 

I stitched and finished another ornament from Heidi's free ornament designs.  This one is part of two offered in April 2009.  You can click here for the pattern. Thanks Heidi for the pattern!!

Halloween Stitching

I finished this Halloween picture a few weeks before Halloween and literally just placed it in this frame for the time. I haven't decided if I like it or not. I think it would have been prettier if the fabric was lighter or if the colors were more in contrast. I guess once I decide if I like it or not, I will consider having it professionally framed or maybe I will make it into a pillow. I have a whole year to decide!

Midwinter Finished

I cross-stitched yesterday the pattern that Joanne had posted on her blog. I finished it this morning. Hanging on the wall, I am very pleased with it. Thank you Joanne for a great pattern!! The Winter Wishes hanging came from Goody's on their clearance table. I think I paid $5 for it and I really like how it has that handmade feel.

Now, on to the other things waiting for me. I DO have to clean house and do laundry today since I took yesterday off just to cross-stitch!

Cross-stitching

I am almost giddy with excitement as I pulled out my cross-stitching for this year. I might have mentioned it on here earlier, but I only cross stitch in January and February. I don't know why but this year I am trying to keep it going all year. That is one of my craft goals this year. Surely, I could do 10 minutes a day on a project. My dear friend, Joanne, is starting a new cross-stitch business and has graciously posted a freebie on her blog. You must check it out here. It will be my first project for the new year! I am so excited.

Tea time?

I just finished this sweet little teapot this morning. I love how it turned out - now to decide where to hang it; or, it might end up in a TeaTime gift!
