Ornament #1 for 2009

I got tired of sewing my bigger projects so I decided to sew up a little ormament. This is one of the Dimensions Christmas Sayings Ornaments with a flare of Tammy. I used a different hanger & decided to use some beads & silver metallic thread on the snowflake. I like the way these type of ornaments look on the tree but I absolutely hate finishing these little buggers.

No backstitch.

Finished ornament.

Higher Education

My parents really needed a laugh a few days ago & my brother's little dog Pookie came thru for them. My nephew gets on the bus at my parents house you see & Pookie followed him. When the bus ran & my nephew went to get on so did Pookie & REFUSED to get off. :o) My brother had to get on that bus & physically remove him. It was hilarious. Here's a pic of Pookie


I've been busy making birdhouses to use as thank you gifts for our upcoming VBS volunteers. I guess this is around the 10th year we've been directors of this thing & I've made on average around 20 birdhouses per year. I've gotten 16 finished so far this year with 4 more to go.


I've done a bit of stitching the past few days but not enough to fool with taking a pic of so until next time - keep on stitching :o)

Panda Update & a HAED Start

I'd like to say thanks for all the warm anniversary wishes & to welcome my new followers. I get such a thrill to see that number go up.

Here's an update on my panda bear. I really wanted to finish him before I posted any more pics but realized that it could be Christmas time if I waited for that so here he is.


I also started a HAED & from reading other people's HAED posts I've noticed that I've stitched this thing in the most unconventional way which may give me problems as I continue to stitch but I'm continuing on in this fashion & hopefully will have it finished in a few years :o) It's called QS White Rose Fae by Michele Sayetta. Thought I'd start off easy with a quick stitch.
