I only have one FFO to share. I completed the stitching in February and the finishing in March. Snowmen Are Cool is an older pattern by Waxing Moon Designs. The snowman button from Just Another Button Company was substituted for the one on the model. I wasn't able to find the featured one.

New Year's Eve 2023!
It's time to say goodbye to 2023. This year I was able to complete a few projects, start a few and attend a couple of classes. I have no local needlework shop so I was grateful for the chance to visit one of my favorites The Attic Needleworks and a new to me shop Annabella's. Taking part in a few challenge groups kept me on task. I was able to complete more than I normally would. I will continue with some of the groups, dropping a few and adding at least one. Blogging more often is still on the table. Working on it. This year I really got involved with beading 3D objects, it's been soon much fun. Hope to do more in 2024. Looking forward to more completed hand made stitching and beading and hope to learn at least one new technique in the new year.

FFO Frenzy Part 1
I haven’t done much finishing lately; but I now have a few over the last two weekends.
First off I stitched 2 items from the 2023 Just Cross Stitch Halloween Magazine. Seasonal Celtic Knot was presented as an ornament. I finished the ornament and a partial knot and used them to make a biscornu.

August Progress
I started 2 new projects that took a lot of my stitching time in August. Book of Spells and Book of Shadows. Book of Shadows is a current SAL from Living on the Rainbow, Etsy. The covers of both books are full coverage. Book of Shadows got a little bit more stitching time, as I wanted to be in a good position to work on the pages for this book. I want to be able to complete at least 2 of the pages during the SAL.
As Life Wears Away, Carriage House Samplings is on track for a finish soon.
I also worked on Hares' Christmas by Plum Street Sampler, and Halloween Delivery. Both are part of year long challenges on FB's Halloween Cross Stitch Challenge.
