Throwing the needle...

Through 28ct linen was an understatement! Remember my concern, in an earlier post, switching from 28ct to a smaller count? Well silly me, not only did I join a SAL for LaDDa's "Live, Laugh, Love"...35count fabric was my choice! The Christmas Sampler is put aside while looking for a "thrifty" frame, so before the eyes go, I'm off to stitch.

Happy Stitching, Happy Weekend!

Great chart for the SAL. It's going to look lovely on 35ct. Enjoy.

Bowled over...

With the thought anyone would stitch a design over and over...let alone seven times! This is not my stitching and I normally don't share the stitching of others. Although, I did finish the witch seven times. No, I won't stitch a bowl of wee witches, but I would stitch more than one if I knew who the designer was. Do you stitch a design more than once?

Counting. . .

And counting the days, or should I say the months since I have posted. I think of it often and do so enjoy seeing your posts. Where does the time go? Life is becoming a new normal here and all is well. I am, however, surprised that I even remember how to start a post. Finely Finished is now a full time job--not my favorite word. Finish work is a passion for me (not a job) and I'm fortunate to have clients' that allow me to spend time in the studio and "create" using their finely stitched pieces. And how fun to have someone say "do your magic"! Strawberries seem to be a favorite to stitch these days. With so many lovely designs, I can see why. Erica Michaels' Quaker Strawberry has passed through the studio in many color ways. Tell me. . .are you counting stitches or days? Thank you for stopping by, looking forward to hearing from you.

Many...

Of you have been posting photos of your Christmas decorations, some even rethinking this year's decorating. Few changes take place here, which may seem boring, but I think of it as tradition. Every year when I begin to decorate fond memories come to mind as I place each ornament, Santa and treasure in it's usual place. Yet simple as it may be, I did rearrange the deer tray and... The Santas came down from the mantle... Allowing one of my favorite samplers to shine without the clutter. What changes did you make this year?
