Sock Monkey

Rogue ornament stitched by me

Background stitch idea by Carolyn Baird.  Brilliant idea to stitch the green subway tiles like hospitals have.  I am in a mood to decorate.  That includes ornaments.

BIG ribbon

Pear from Heartstrings

I bought this at Amy's Golden Strand and stitched it using the guide it came with.  Time to tart it up...

A little check

I bought this ribbon at Carolyn Baird's ribbon store located in Chapparal in Houston, Texas.  So cute.

Carrot from Heartstrings

Not that cute  :(

Filled in the bricks...

My brownstone row is back on the stand.  I filled in the bricks with two strands of green wool.  The color is actually a little darker than what is depicted here.  I love it.  

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  I know I did.  I am planning on a little stitching this afternoon.  Wish that you do too!

Green bricks

Got something new!

My sweet neighbor gave me a gift certificate to The Needleworks for babysitting her cute kitty.  I bought this beautiful scissor case.  This will be my basketweave piece.  I love it!

Finally finished!

I finally finished my secret SWAN  ornament.   I put it up to take to the finisher and pulled this out.  All I got done was to outline the brick but I am thrilled to be stitching for fun now!
