Gifts for SusanNJ

Susan (http://astitchersfinishline.blogspot.com/) just emailed me about receiving my package, so here are the two fobs I stitched for her. I met her on the Legacy BB towards the end of last year and we have become great friends. Susan is famous for her one over one stitching so the "bless ewe" fob was stitched one over one.

Elizabeth's Design Christmas Greeting

I have been stitching and trying to "force" myself to sit down and do some finishings. Too bad I can't show too many pictures on my blog till I send out my christmas gifts and my receipents has opened their gifts. I am letting you to have a sneak review of this ornament. I used the beads and a different charm in the middle. The satin stitch took a lot longer than I expected.

I am trying to thin out some of my stash and I am going to add more in the coming months. I put them in the "for sale or trade" folder on the left hand side of the blog. I have a wish list as well. If you have a trading album or prefer to trade cashel, luguna fabric, overdyed silk, crescent colors, anchor floss or the charts on my wish list, we can also work out an arrangement. You can leave me a message on the blog if you are interested in any of the items or you can email me privately at ann62texas@gmail.com.

Have a great thanksgiving.

Prairie Schooler Ornament

This is from the Just Cross Stitch 1989 Ornament issue. It is a fairly simple and quick stitch.

MY 14th Santa

This is another Prairie Schooler Santa from PS 91 Summer and Winter. I am going to start christmas gifts stitching soon that means I can't post any pictures till my friends open the gifts. How is everyone christmas stitching?

I am going to check into a specialist as far as my son's coughing situation. We have no history of Asthma but his severe coughing made the doctor felt it is related to Asthma attacks. So he is now on Asthma medication and my son has lost a few pounds, he looks pale and I just feel bad. We went to see doctor again last Friday and my next step is a specialist.
