I wish to remember the rules to all the members

They are:
post and comment in English;
use labels;
post only LHN and CCN photos;
max photo width of 500 pixels (link it to a bigger one);
respect netiquette;
use your signature at every post (I'll create it for you the first time you post);

Really simple, aren't they?
So, please, respect them.

A few 2009 LHN finishes!!

I loved this LHN series!!! Made with specified Crescent Color flosses on 32 ct flax linen.
B Sampler was one of the first LHN finishes I had at the beach this summer. Here is sits nestled in my shell basket..
I made this LHN design into a cute little pillow...There are covered buttons on the back of the pillow! I hope everyone enjoyed making their favorite LHN designs throughout 2009 like I did~~ Happy stitching everyone!!!

The Library and Frappuccino

Hi all this is my first post. I have enjoyed seeing all your stitching.


This is my first LHN Frappuccino. It is stitched on a Silkweaver Solo which doesn't have a colour name.
The second one I am working on is The Library done on 32 count Sugar Cane Crush - Stitches & Spice. I love how this is looking.

My First Ornament



I started my first ornament, an LHN treat from the JCS 2009 Special Ornament Issue (Pg 30), titled "Winter Sampler."

I am using a "scrap" of Platinum Jubilee , as well as the charted WDW floss: dandelion stem, joshua tree, roasted chestnut, toasted marshmallow, and wild berries, all from my stash.

I am going to finish it in a flat ornament style. I will share it with everyone when it is ready to hang.

Winter's Eve WIP 2

Here is my progress today, as I only had the roof done yesterday.

Tonight I finished the house, windows and front door. I stitched them with Icicles by WDW which is white with a hint of blue.
Then, I took out the start of snow and will stitch it with Icicles, too. I hope to have it finished tomorrow.
I have another one I need to do for our annual Christmas party in the EGA guild.
Thanks for looking and as always God Bless your stitching fingers.

I Am So Happy...

... to be joining you all, as I have been a follower in awe of everyone's beautiful projects and finishes. My name is Karyn and I am a 46 year old wife and mother from Southern New England, and I have been cross stitching since May of this year. I am learning as I go and, like all of you I have fallen in love with samplers and especially LHN and CCN.

Here is my first LHN finish, all it needs is a good pressing and framing, which will be done in the next few weeks, and I will show the finished product as soon as it is ready to hang. In the meantime here is my first LHN finish "Colonial Homes"


Thanks again for letting me join :)
