Finishes and stash
Hello again! I have some stash and a couple of finishes to show.
Harvest Tiny Town, Frosty Tiny Town, Any Tiny Town, More Any Town Tiny Town, Seaside Tiny Town, and Patriotic Tiny Town, all by Heart in Hand Needleart. Christmas Eve Mouse and Rose Heart Bunny by Just Nan. The Queen Bee by October House Fiber Arts.
I knew I had some more!
One of the Tiny Town's that I thought was in the other pile. Bees in the Greenhouse by the Blue Flower, Christmas Countdown by Erica Michaels, more linen, the 2023 JCS Christmas Ornament issue, Hardanger Filling Stitches by Yvette Stanton, Songbird Serenade by Counting Puddles.Needle Travel. Lists all of the known shops in each state and their locations. Lists quilt, yarn, embroidery, cross stich, needlepoint, spinning, and weaving shops. I hope to put it to good use!
Timely Trinkets November Edition by Joseph's Workshop. I finished this one.
I was not impressed by the kit. The linen was cut wonky and not serged. The kit included a size 24 needle which was way too big for 32 count linen. For the price I paid, it should have been nicer. I probably won't buy another, even though they are adorable. The above gets finished to go in the little box 2 pictures up. Oh, and there are no finishing instructions included in the kit and the chart was very hard to read.
Whew! That's a lot of stash! I think that should hold me for a bit. Maybe.....
See you soon!

Retired
Hello everyone! I hope there are at least a few people who still read my blog. I retired March 1, yay! I retired after almost 36 years with the Indiana Department of Correction. And I don't miss it! I have a few pictures of the stuff that was gifted to me for my retirement. I was truly spoiled!
My best friend got me the stuff in the first 3 pictures, plus a pair of spring themed hot pads which I forgot to photograph.
The following is all from my work. Lots of great stuff!
The candle is a lavender-eucalyptus scent and I love it!
Take care everyone!

New Year start
I always start a new project on New Year's Day and this year, I can't decide which one! I've narrowed it down to the 4 below.

Hello, hello!
Hello!~ How is everyone? Doing pretty well here. I thought it had been well over a year since I posted, but not so! I posted in March!
Here are a few things I have done.
And the beaded owls! Oh so fun to do! Again, can't remember the designer. Will try to remember to find these out and edit this post.

Happy New Year, Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter!
Guess this is my first post this year. I thought I had posted. Oops! Oh well. Things have been busy around here.
I have a little story. Back in 2020, my aunt passed away just a few weeks before my mom did. My uncle lived in their house and is now downsizing and moving into assisted living. My aunt was a needleworker also. She did beautiful work! This is what they let me have that was hers.

Beading and baking
That's what I did on Christmas day. My oldest son and his family were mostly sick and it was too cold for me to get out, so we just all stayed in our homes.
I made these beaded stars for co-workers at my second job. They are so fun to do !
