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.

My Stitching Chair Necessaire by Hillside Samplings

Summer Garden by Country Cottage Needleworks

Quaker Seasons by My Big Toe

Denise, 2017 Pincushion Doll by Giulia Manfredini

I know which one I am leaning towards.  What is your choice?

Just stuff

Hello!  I have been very busy lately and just hadn't felt like blogging.  And my mom had back surgery yesterday and she is home today, so I have my hands full.

Here are a few things...

My version of the Diamond O Chain by Bead Origami, with a matching bracelet.

Some new beads.  15/0 beads in silver and gold, diamond duo beads in gold and silver, crystal Capri O beads, 3 mm white and rose Swarovski pearls, and some chatons in crystal ab.

And a new start.  Happy Halloween by Kit and Bixby.

We bought a new couch a couple weeks ago and we love it!  It is a light gray and both ends are power recliners.  It is SO comfortable!  This picture was taken at the furniture store.

I have a couple stitch finishes that I will post soon.

I hope everyone is well!  Bye!~~~

First post 2016

I have a little bit to share.

New start - I always start a new project on New Year's Day and here it is.  Ester's Waves by Northern Expressions Needlework using Dinky Dye silks on Weeks Dye Works linen.

A couple finishes.

I have another, but forgot to take a picture.  I will share that later.

And, finally, some thrift store finds.

I will be back soon, I hope, with some more.

See ya!
