A Start, A Finish and Statsh

Last night I started Time for God by Lizzie Kate. Here is my progress:



I started this after I finished this:


This is a little canvas piece that was the class at Chicago ANG earlier this month. I think that it will be a Christmas present next year.

I have also been doing some statsh shopping and here are the things I picked up:
















I am looking forward to doing them! I also have a birth sampler ordered and another project that was requested by the DS ( no promises on when that will get done).
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas mine was beautiful with some relaxing time also.
Until next time,
May you be blessed with stitches,

Merry Christmas


Merry Christmas to all my stitching friends! I hope you all have a blessed Christmas!! We where blessed with a baby nephew that was adopted by DSIL and her hubby. So I will be stitching another baby sampler. To hold a newborn at Christmas just reminds me of all the blessings that we have been bestowed by the birth of our saviour so many years ago in a little stable.
Until next time,
May you be blessed with stitches,

May you be blessed with stitches,

A Stitchy Update

I have had a busy week. It in included a lot of fun and a Christmas Party that was great. We had our annual EGA Christmas party on Tuesday and it was lovely. At that time our secret stitchers where revealed. My secret stitcher made me this lovely bag! I can't wait to use it for my scroll rods and stitchy stuff. She also gave me this adorable snowman basket and candle also got some Christmas socks and a little notebook for my purse. Thanks Sue!!!




I gave my secret stitcher this basket. There was all kinds of goodies including a biscornu from sweetheart tree. Carol was so excited. I am glad she liked it.


We also had an ornament exchange this is what I gave out. Another Joy needleroll and a beaded ornament. I forgot to take a picture of the one I got it is beautiful and all ready on my tree!



I have also been working on the brown boston and here is an update:


Sorry for the shadow! I was trying to take it yesterday before I rolled up the scroll rods and headed off to my first Chicago ANG meeting yesterday.
The ANG meeting was great and boy am I in trouble I want to take all of the classes!!! They do more canvas work and the projects they have are great. Yesterday's class was a snowman ornament but I am being good and working on the dog. I am still hoping to have him done by Christmas.
Until next time
May you be blessed with stitches,
Karol
