Holiday stitching and housing update...

I've been stitching and finishing these little ornaments for some of my friends. I don't think they follow my blog and so I'm posting a picture. If they do follow my blog, so sad, too bad, you know what you are getting! Here's a picture of them so far. I have three more to do, and I'm getting a little bored with them now but I'm almost done!


I finished this sampler I have been stitching this year off and on. So glad it's done so I can move on to other fun projects! This design is by Ellen Chester and is entitled "A Needleworker's Sampler." The picture is pretty dark as I took it at night. I enjoyed stitching all of it except the satin stitches. I'll have it framed soon and hung in my house sometime next year. I always love a finish so I can start something new!




No grand news on the housing front...our real estate agent calls the builder and banker daily. They tell him they are crunching numbers with some vice president somewhere. Hopefully we'll know something soon!

Your sampler and ornaments look great. Love the new look, and I hope that all goes well with the new house.

Good Job Sister
The sampler is divine--along with the ornaments--of course they are your own design. You're fabulous
