The first try as a pinkeep

I have made this for a very nice neighbour, who turned 70 this week, so I made an easter egg for her.

It was easier as I thought.

Poinsettia ornament

Can I proudly present this wonderful humbug to you???
it´s a design by faby Reilly and it was a lot of fun to stitch;-))

Jingles the Penguin

It felt kind of funny to be stitching a wintery penguin today here in West Texas Town as the temperature reached 80 degrees, but stitch (and finish) him I did.

Behold, "Jingles the Penguin" from the JCS 2007 Ornie issue! I didn't have all the floss and embellishments called for so Jingles doesn't have a button for a nose, a bell at the end of his Santa hat, or a fuzzy red scarf, but I think he is cute all the same.

Snowman for February...

Here's my ornament for February... still need to do the *finishing* ...

February Ornament

Happy February to you all.....This is all inspiring to keep stitching.

Another Finish

Sometimes I like to switch from the traditional colors to something soft and wintery.

YESTERDAY WAS A PERFECT FINISHING DAY

I had this piece of Red Fabric left over and had to think of something to do with it! It will definitely hang on a door in December.

PS Bird

I'm slowly working my way through Christmas Past, Book #51 by The Prairie Schooler and got this cute little bird done.

February finish

This is my February ornament. It is for my daughter who chose the glitzy tinsel braid over the pretty ribbon I had bought. A little Mouseloft design.
