Good afternoon everyone,
I hope everyone is enjoying their day. We are pretty quiet here. Just savoring the last few weeks until school starts. The kids don't go back until Aug 26.
I have done some stitching on the Christmas SAL but I am waiting until the kids go back before I do any more. It is so much easier to do smalls because I can put it down and pick it back up without losing my concentration.
Here is a finish. It is from the July Blueladie Designs newsletter. I used some 18ct hand-dyed Aida from RR. It is a discontinued color; too bad because I love it.
I have been trying to do the monthly freebie challenge over on the 123stitch! message board. This was July's challenge. LizzieKate Cozy Christmas Wishes. I had a lot of fun stitching this.
I had these stitched and I finally finished them into ornaments. I had a problem putting together the owl (struggled with the lace edge) but I still think it looks great and will go on my tree. It is just a little crocked at the bottom. Hope it isn't that noticeable.
I have 2 more stitched but I need to make a run to the fabric store so I won't post them until they are made into pillows.
Thanks so much for looking,
Mary
