La D Da's "Freebee - One Two"
Stitched on coffee-dyed 28 ct. linen with WDW Red Pear
I love pink and brown together and couldn't resist this fabric. I really wanted to use it and thought this design would be cute finished with it. This was a quick stitch, although it did confirm my suspicions that I hate stitching alphabets and words. (I guess it is the constant stop/start activity that gets on my nerves.) I really like the way it turned out and this one will keep me company in my little craft room.

Well...I think I will spend some time this evening with my stash. The end of the year always puts me in the mood to take stock of what I have and make a plan for the new stitching year. I rarely stick with this plan but it has become a holiday tradition for me to do this so and I think I will start a little early this year!

ReplyDeleteKaren~
ReplyDeleteThat's just adorable! You do such pretty finishing! I see those others below, too. Great job. I like your idea of using the holiday as a time to plan for using stash and next year's projects. Mine is usually very hap-hazard...the one that screams the loudest gets done first!
See you in a couple of weeks?
Wow! You took a very basic and simple design and made it just devine with your fantastic finishing!
