A Day Of Finishing !

I spent the day with Cheryl and we finished all of the ornies that I did a couple of weeks ago. Two will hang on the tree and made cute little pillows out of 2 of them and Peppermint, I made into a pincushion. I love the little row of pom-poms on the snowman pillow. I think that they came out okay. The last one was Mr. Flake. I kinda ran out of creativity by the time we got to him.
I made this a year or so ago. Made it into a pouch holder. Put some phony greens in it and called it a day.

A bunch of the stitched pillows on the mud room bench. I still love the pom-poms. 2 of those pillows are about 25 years old. Done on Aida.
I have 2 fireplaces. This is the one in the kitchen. We bought this house 10 years ago. The kitchen was very Colonial and they had a wood stove attached to this fireplace. The kitchen was very old fashioned for us, so we had it redone. I really wanted an island ( which is where the oranges are sitting ) so we got rid of the stove because if we used it or the fireplace we will melt the island. Not a good idea. The fireplace is fun to decorate for the seasons or holidays. It does give the kitchen a homey feel. You can enlarge any of the photo's for a closer look.
Thanks for visiting. I love the comments and appreciate all of them. Until next time....Happy Stitching. Deborah

Plaid House!

Thanks for visiting my little part of the world. The comments you leave mean the so much to me. It was a busy week here in Southern MA. I finished Plaid House by LHN. I used the natural linen called for and I must say I don't really care it. The piece looks good but the fabric wasn't fun to work with. I started Christmastide at Holly House by The Scarlet House. Please excuse the lousy picture. I don't iron while stitching. This piece is beautiful but will take awhile to finish. The house is massive. I picked up 2 pieces from the framer. Ye Be Thankful by Cross Eyed Cricket. I used a plain black molding. I did this piece last year. It's from Just Cross Magazine. I know that Paulette from PSS designed it. I just love the whimsy of it. Thought I would show somee Halloween finishes from years past. They are all hanging currently. A close up of the molding I picked. I thought that I Thanks for hanging in with this picture heavy post. Until next time ......

Great activity, the stitching....

The wind is starting to howl and the rain is heavy. Just the beginning of Sandy. We spent the day getting ready for the storm. Took in the patio furniture, potted plants and anything else that could go flying. Did some cooking ahead, in case we can't use the stove. Just hoping that trees don't come crashing down on the house. As for the stitching, I started something new. Day after my last post this wonderful design arrived in the mail. I couldn't wait to start it. It's a great stitch. I pick it up every spare moment I have. I thought I would show my Halloween tree with all the ornaments. I couldn't get a good picture inside so I took it outside yesterday for some shots. You can click on any picture for a larger view. It's starting to fill up in nicely. I will add more next year. This is the pillow that Vonna finished for me. I love it. It's Hilda's Alphabet Brew by With Thy Needle and Thread. I love Japanese Lanterns. I have a friend wh...
