3-D Ski Lodge

I love these 3-D houses.   I have a few that need stitching.  Let's hope 2017 brings the time!

Best Party of the Year!


The annual SWAN Christmas party is the best party of the year.  We get together, have lunch and exchange ornaments.  We draw names and secretly stitch on these ornaments throughout the year.
I look forward to it all year long!

Prince Charming by Petei

I finished this fine fellow Sunday afternoon.  Prince Charming given to me by my traveling bud, EH.  I stitched him up using The French Knot's stitch guide except for the background stitch which is my selection.  



Stitched using four strands of Presencia

Village Scene by Ewe and Eye


ML and I have been stitchin on this canvas forever.  Here is her version of some of the hills.  I love all her stitch choices.  Alot of them are from Colleen at The Needle Works.

Block 8 of The Village of Hawk Run Hollow

I am still feeling puny so I spent the afternoon on the roof between dozes.  Cross stitching is slow going, isn't it?  Still I love it and look forward to the day when this piece is finished!
