I have been working on several pieces and actually finished a couple of them. My stitching on Blueberries and Cream isn't going as fast as I would like, but it is moving along. I have both sides of the fob outlined and most of the name tag done. Need to finish the flowers and chart/stitch my name.
I managed to put together my scissor fob, so this piece is my first stitched and finished piece for 2012.






I also finished the stitching on Hinzeit's Folk Art Flowers.







In my stash are several  personalized ornaments from M-Designs that I ordered several years ago. Two weekends past I started the first one. My hope is to have a family ornament tree one day. I am stitching this one with GAST  Cherry Wine.


Thanks for stopping by,

First Finish

Day three of 2012!
2011 is over and I look forward to what the new year has in store. I hope that I will be able to complete a few projects this year. I have taken on the task of photographing my WIPs and making a list of my stash as I attempt to organize it all. The list so far is very long, and I don't think I have hit the half way point yet,  so my goal is to limit my stash acquisition and concentrate on stitching/finishing stash on hand. I am almost done selecting my first focus projects. Several ornaments that were stitched last year need to be finished and a few projects resurfaced from stitching bags stashed here and there.
My fist finish for 2012 is a scissor fob from SharonV of The Purple Thread.

Happy New Year!
