Happy New Year.....

 

......and one month!

  

Can't believe it has taken me this long to post.

 I have been busy stitching in the new

year but no pics to post yet.

I did want to share an exchange I recently

received from Cucki.  I participated in the
Fair & Square "Nature" exchange back in
the fall.  Due to a postal strike in Cucki's
country, our squares were delayed in
arriving.  It was a nice surprise right
before Christmas to receive my package.

 

 

F&S Nature Exchange

from Cucki

 

The design is so my taste and I hope to

finish these into a great little pin pillow.

While I was looking through my photos

from the fall I found this finish I never shared.

 

WTNT "Hilda's Alphabet Brew"

stitched on 40ct PTP Doubloon

w/ Victorian Motto

 

I actually finished this at the Pals Stitching

at the Beach Retreat back in October.   

I decided I wanted to try something new and

make a small quilted wall hanging.

 

 

I have had this scrapbook page display

holder for about year and thought this

would make the perfect base.

A little black spray paint and my

finish looks like this... 

 

Can't wait until next Halloween...

 

The little hooks didn't work with my tabs

so I compromised with a dowel accented

with decorative caps.  I actually like this

better.   I will have to say this really tested

my math skills but I was happy with my

first attempt.  I think I am hooked, though,

so I will definitely do this again.

Hopefully I will be back soon with some

more finishes for Valentines.

Thanks for visiting and happy stitching!
