February!




I am back! I just lost my blogging mojo there for awhile; but I think I have recaptured it.  I have been stitching a lot and my recent finishes show that I am still in a Christmas mood.   Above is the BBD ornament from the 2009 Just Cross-Stitch annual magazine.  I saw it done up at my friend Karin's house and I just had to stitch it.




Then I stitched the latest Lizzie Kate ornaments.  Love the colors in these two!

Now I am working on Poinsettia Place by Country Cottage Needleworks.  It is part of a darling series called Santa's Village.  I want to do each one and then have them finished as cubes and set them on the mantle at Christmas.  So cute!!!  So fun to stitch!  There are four designs out so far, but I started with this one as the colors were so much fun!


The latest issue of Antique Needlework and Sampler Quarterly has this beautiful chart featured.  I really want to convert it to wools and stitch it!!  This is something I am going to dream over for awhile before I stitch it!

I am looking forward to a weekend spent hanging out with Mike and then watching the Oscars tomorrow and stitching while watching the red carpet coverage.

I vow to be back soon.  I have missed you all!!!

Your ornaments are all wonderful, Laura!!! Love the Cottage piece and can't wait to see them on your mantle! I'm going to dream along with you about the Jane Goss Sampler. It would be so beautiful in wool.

Glad to see you posting again! I was wondering what happened to you. Love your little Christmas finishes. One question - did you change the colors of BBD's Peace? I like your colors better than the one shown in the JCS Ornie magazine - the one in the magazine looks too washed out. What colors did you use?

Pretty stitches Laura! And your idea of cube finishes for Santa's Village would be so cute all sitting on a mantle. Can't wait to see them!
