Another Snowman Ornament

I stitched up a freebie from Val's Stuff called Another Snowman Ornament.  This will be my "snow" block for an exchange in one of my yahoo stitching groups.  I want to stitch this guy up again for myself too.  I used all DMC and stitched it on a piece of Sassy's evenweave that I think the color was called Periwinkle. 

Country Cottage Needleworks Bunny Hop

I was blessed to stitch the Bunny Hop model for Country Cottage Needleworks.  I just absolutely love the carrots planted in the ground.  I look forward to the days when my grass looks like this again in central Ohio but I have a few more months of winter to get through. 

LHN Chocolate Box

I stitched 4 of the chocolates and a modified border from Little House Needleworks Chocolate Box.  Stitching this sure made me crave chocolate!  This is for an exchange on one of my yahoo cross stitching groups and we stitch 6" x 6" blocks so I used part of the design and adapted it to work.  I don't want to part with it but I guess the best blocks are the ones you want to keep for yourself.  This is stitched with the recommended floss on 28 ct lambswool linen.

Birds of a Feather Love

My first finish for 2011 is a small one but was a fun one!  I did a SAL with a couple of good friends.  I stitched this on 32 ct summer khaki linen with some color changes.  This is the first BOAF pattern that I've stitched and of course I only really discovered them after the charts went out of print.  I have a couple other of their designs but wish I had more of their Virtues like this one was.  If anyone is willing to let me borrow their hard copy of BOAF Honesty, Patience, or Loyalty I would promise to stitch quickly and return with a small gift.
