MBT Give Me the Cookie

We have enjoyed a relaxing, peaceful Christmas today and I finished a project! This is Give Me the Cookie from My Big Toe Designs. It's stitched on Sassy's 32 ct Toffee lugana. I absolutely LOVE the JABCo cookie buttons on this!

LHN Two White Houses

I absolutely LOVE this Little House Needleworks chart! The colors are actually even better and brighter in real life. I stitched it on Sassy's 32 ct Toffee lugana and I think it's the perfect fabric for it! This one I'm keeping for myself!!! :)

Bent Creek Seasons of Change row



I absolutely LOVE how beautiful this is in person! I stitched it on Sassy's 28 ct Sugared Coffee lugana with all the recommended floss except I used plain DMC white. I added the JABC buttons to it also. This is a Christmas present for my mom. I'm going to have a very hard time parting with it though! :) I guess those are the best gifts.

Ornament Exchange


The ornament on the left is the one I made and sent to my exchange partner Carmen. This is a picture of it hanging on her tree. :) The ornament on the right is the ornament I received from Julie hanging on my tree! I just LOVE it! Thanks so much Julie!!!!

Charland Designs Believe ornament


I did it! Early even! I'm in a year long SAL to stitch 1 ornament a month from mostly the JCS ornament magazines. I have been getting my ornament done every month this year on the last day (or close to it) of the month. Well not this month! :) I had high hopes of stitching this huge ornament for Dec that was mostly solid stitching when I was flipping through the 2006 JCS ornament issue and saw this little one in the chart section. Of course I changed the colors to match my Christmas colors. :) I love it! It's Charland Designs Believe ornament stitched on Sassy's 16 ct cape cod blue aida with Carrie's Cobalt blue and DMC B5200. I'm not stitching the snowflakes that would end up on the back of the ornament. I'm thinking a really pretty blue snowflake fabric would be just as pretty! :)

My Mark Be Merry

I finished my Nov ornament a few minutes into Dec but since today is my birthday (Dec 1) I felt the need to stay up to ring in my birthday. :) This ornament is from My Mark designs (thank you Monique!!!) in the JCS 2008 ornament issue. I stitched it on Sassy's 16 ct sugared coffee aida. It needs ironed but I don't feel the need to iron on my birthday! hahahaha :)
