This New Year

started out with lots of stitching!  I caught the ornament bug early this year, and stitched up these three in quick succession:

  Santa 1 from a kit of 9 Santas by Donna Giampa

  Baaa Humbug from The Cricket Collection – stitched over 1

and   Whitetail deer from Crossed Wing Collection’s Feed The Hungry!

I have also put an old piece back on the qsnaps and stitching frame – my Chatelaine’s Waterlily Quilt.  I cannot believe I started this in 2004 and still have not completed it!  My goal is to stitch every day – one stitch, 10, and 100 – doesn’t matter – just do something every day!

  So this is where I am starting from in 2013!  Wish me luck!

I had the pleasure of finishing Lynne Mc’s AQFB this month – loads of hand sewing in this finish – but it is so gorgeous!

     If you hear a big happy shout soon, that will be Lynne when it arrives home in the mail 🙂

I have been cleaning house too – just added some lovely gingham 22 ct aida by Charlescraft into the sale page – all the details are there, but here is a sneak peek:

 

Look for a knitting update in a few days!
