Woohoo.....all xstitchers love NEW stash! That is what I got in the mail directly from Shepherd's Bush today. I saw on there website recently their newest kits and I just could NOT live without 2 of them. So I just called them up and ordered them. But while I was ordering, I needed to add their Scaredy Sheep Fob to my stash as well. Why not?? I was already paying postage so one more little kit wasn't going to matter anyway.
Here is what I ordered from Shepherd's Bush.
2012 Scissor Fob kit, Poor Robin's Pincushion, and Scaredy Sheep Fob kit
I hope to start the 2012 scissor fob tomorrow. I will try to hurry and stitch it up so I can be using it all year long!
Here is my first ornament for the year that I stitched on Jan 1 at the Attic's New Year's Stitch In. This chart is JBW French Country Hearts II oranment that I stitched in 1 1/2hrs. Who couldn't do that to make an ornament? I did this for my ornament exchange last yeat and also framed it in a minature frame from Michaels. See posts below for more details on that one. But I had this frame, also from Michael's, that I framed this one up in. Yes...I know it covers part of the words at the top but it is for me and I don't mind.
I have also finished LHN Baked Goods from Diane's 2011 ornament that was released last year but I never got around to it. This one will be for my mom but I'll show you the final product when I do the finishing work for it. Maybe this weekend will be a "finishing weekend".
That is all I have for now.
Happy Stitching
Can I ask what count you used? Over 1 or 2? I love your idea!
ReplyDeleteGinger,
DeleteThis was stitched with 1 strand of Belle Soie silk over 2 threads on 36ct white linen. I hope this helps!
