My 13th finish in my Crazy Challenge....
Goode Huswife "In the Bee Man's Garden"
Stitched on 35ct WDW Linen
w/DMC
Well my little pile is now down to two!
This stitch wasn't as enjoyable as I had hoped
....not sure why. I think it was because I was
nervous about the beehive, which is done in
a satin stitch. It was the very last thing I did
and I have to say it truly makes this design.
Once done, I realized again why I loved this one.
I just love the look of the beehive...

I did take a little break for some
Christmas stitching.
The Scarlett House "Jingle All the Way"
Stitched on 40ct PTP Swamp
w/Victorian Motto threads
in October, I couldn't wait to stitch this one.
My favorite part is the fabric she used so I
decided to treat myself and I am so glad I did.
Vonna (Twisted Stitcher) had the perfect
finish for this one and I hope to recreate
her magic myself with some coordinating
ricrac and a rusty jingle bell.
I love this fabric too!
Mine is more of a mossy green, which
I love. The entire time I was stitching I kept
seeing some type of white Christmas tree
design on this fabric so I am off to
search out the perfect design
to complement this finish.

Now that Christmas is fast approaching it is time
for my favorite part of the holiday season!
Yes....time to make the
"My LNS After Christmas Sale Wish List"!
Each year at this time, I go through my stash
to list my stitchy needs....and wants!
I check it twice and then wait
anxiously for the big day to arrive....
the day after Christmas!
Oh I get excited just thinking about it!

As always, thanks for visiting my
little bit of the world.
And in the spirit of Christmas,
do something nice for someone today!
