Pear Tree

I working away on this second ornament.

Not one of my favorites but I am

determined to finish it.

I had to replace, by way of the

Evil Frog all of the outside

edges of the pears.

I have also replaced the leaves

when I changed the color.

So far I have used over

dyed threads.

The fabric is one I had and I

don't know the name but

it is a 28 count.

Thanks for looking

God Bless

Fa La La, Pear Tree

I finally finished my Fa La La ornament.
I stitched it on a golden color fabric with sparkles.
I put a gold bead in the lantern, decided not to stitch
the girls faces and made all the words in white.
It showed up the best.
I also changed the colors of the girls dresses.
So . . . it is finished ~ one down and 10 1/2 to go.

My progress on the Pear Tree.

Not a favorite one but I am making my self finish it.
I changed the colors to variegated shades and used a piece of fabric I had that is light beige and a 32 ct.

Thanks for looking I'm off to stitch on the Pear Tree.

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.

Winter's Eve

Believe it or not this is Winter's Eve by Country Cottage Needleworks.
It can be found in the 2006 Christmas Ornaments magazine, page 46.I have the tree, moon, and sheep done. I also have 1/2 of the house done. I used Blue Jay, for the outline ofthe house. I used white WDW with a faint touch of blue for the inside of the house. I plan to put yellow blending filamentin the moon, also. I used DMC colors for the rest.
Hopefully, tomorrow night I will have it finished and it will go on the tree this Christmas. My goal is to get it stitched by the 1st of Dec.

Hi ~ I am new here and just joined today.
Wouldn't you know someone already has this one done and posted yesterday!
I dearly love LHN and CCN. I discovered themat the retreat I go to every spring inBelton, Texas. Summer's Mill is a great placeto have this retreat because it is peaceful and quiet.We have the Yellow Rose room all to ourselvesand just stitch and stitch and stitch.Did I mention we also EAT?
Lots and lots of goodies that all us stitchershave made. Yum, yum it all tastes so good.A few pounds are always put on over thatweek end.We laugh and eat and stitch. Three of myfavorite things!

Here she is ~ I forgot to get a photo today so this is my progress.
But, I have a lot more stitched.
All of the skirt except the flowers inside, andI started the sheep tonight.
Thanks so much for looking.Will post tomorrow night!God Bless
