This is a quick post as I am on vacation in Las Vegas for the next week.
Here is my latest stitching update.
I just love how this little guy turned out! My nutcracker RR is stitched and ready for mailing. I thought a long time about that title and think it will work. Once people start stitching their home states etc then the nutcrackers will truly be "On Tour".
Here is the latest progress on Sampler Des Bouquets. A Happy Dance next week????
While searching for thread, I found this in the bottom of my stash and decided to knock it out. One day and here it is!
JBW Hearts of Joy from 1997 JCS Ornament Issue
Another finish for my WIPocalypse!
I am very excited this week as I am going to meet up with some online stitching friends - Juls and Margaret and a couple of other (unknown to me) stitchers for lunch and then a visit to Stitcher's Paradise. I wonder what I will have for new stash after that trip?????
And of course, Las Vegas is always interesting! I look forward to sharing my adventures with you next week.
Until then, stay frog free and stitch happy!
lovely works
