What I've been up to

 Hello!!  I don't know if anyone has missed me or not, but that's okay.  This may be a long post, so grab a drink and settle in.

I went to the Needlework Galleria in September in St. Charles, Missouri.  Had a blast!  I just drove out Friday morning and came home Saturday afternoon.  But boy, I did some damage, lol!  $$$   Some of what I got .....

I don't remember which doll this is for, but it is one of (I can't remember her name!) - GPA are her initials.

My Spooky Bag by Romy's Creations - I took her class and it was fun!

A bead kit - Honeybee Kaleidoscope

Another doll head, I believe this one is for The Chocolate Girl by the name I can't remember.   I remembered her initials - GPA.

Another bead kit - Poinsettia Ornament.  Should be fun!

Believe it or not pincushion kit - contents below.

Queen by Shepherds Bush and the bag to stitch it on.

I think that is all from Needlework Galleria.  I also got a couple exclusives from a Facebook Group I am in (can't remember the name)

A Christmas design by HOD and all the fabric, fibers, and boards to finish!

Simple Gifts Spool by Jeannette Douglas Designs, including the spool above, and the fibers and fabrics below.

And I have a finish!  

Hannah Stephenson, by Just Stitching Along on Etsy.  Stitched 1 over 1 and 1 over 2 on Soft Ivory New Castle linen using DMC floss.  Started in September and finished last night.  I love this one and wish my pictures turned out better.  A photographer I'm not, LOL!

I know I missed a couple things from Needlework Galleria, so may post again in the next couple days.

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas and now it is SO COLD here!  It was 9 degrees F at noon!  At least the sun is shining and the sky is a beautiful shade of blue with no clouds in sight!

Happy New Year, too!  See you soon!
