Cross Stitch display #2

Well, I spent quite a bit of time blog hopping to see all the displays...then remembered that I had not posted mine yet! I only have one to show, it is another JCS 2010 ornament. The Charlotte's Web Needlework, Christmas Magic. I frilled it up a little with the sheer ribbon.

I added a bead at each twist.

The backing fabric is from JoAnn's...I thought the swirls gave it  flight...

The star charm is from Blue Moon

On a new thought, I have been accepted to participate in a Winter Exchange. We have not received our partner names yet, but I am so pleased to be able to join that I am getting started. I coffee dyed the 28ct cream linen and like the way it has taken.

This beaded pouch was fun to knit. I made it some time ago and think I will make another for myself. I have given them as gifts in the past. The beads are pre-strung on Perle Cotton #8. it measures about 3 inches at the base about 2 1/2 in length. The needles are double pointed #0000, but I finished them at the top with beads to make it easier. I love the turquoise birds that I found in Rockport MA to top one pair. I have had the porcelain hands forever..

Once again, Chookyblue did a great job of gathering friends .....thank you.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday...thank you for visiting..come back soon.........

A busy day....

Well, it seems this WIP is slowing down....could it be that my mind keeps wandering to many other things?

maybe to some of my stash....

could it be to the new stash that I picked up yesterday at Attic Needleworks? My friend LindaZ and I went to Mesa to shop and then for Mexican lunch...good day with a good friend. Well what ever the slow down, I will get the WIP finished.

While hubby Dennis and I put out the pumpkins...picture to appear soon, we had a supervisor...our dear hummingbird.

He likes to sit in the Bottle Brush tree and keeps an eye on his feeder...or in this case ...us~!

The day is starting out sunny and comfortable...out to work at JoAnn's for a few hours, then I will stitch...stitch and look at my new stash again........have a great day and thanks for stopping by to visit.
