Sampler Stocking~so gorgeous!

I am loving this project-it is turning out so pretty!
Isn't it just gorgeous!!!
I am down to the heel now.
I love working on 25 ct.
It is a breath of fresh air after working so many projects on 40 or 36ct.

I hope to have it finished this week.

My sample is for sale.
Sold! Thank you!

Sajou Merry Christmas with vintage and antique button border.
This has a ribbon hanger(not shown).

Hope you are having fun decorating for the holidays! I just got my tree up last night. I like a real tree but my hubby doesn't. So we bought a pre-lit tree a couple of years ago and now the lights wont light. So we had to buy lights and restring it! Ah well! such is life!
ha! Ha!

I'm working on some dolls as well. One is for Prims magazine. I have to have her sent out on Friday, and my hubs in on vacation all this week, yikes! I will post a few teaser pics later this week!
Merry Christmas!

Framed!



I actually finished this piece some time ago, 
but I just now got around to framing it.
 I framed it myself with a frame I bought at Hobby Lobby. 
It is pinned into foam core all around the edges and laced in the back. 
The whole project cost me $12.00:
 $10.00 for the frame and $2.00 for the foam core.
Yay! Another piece framed and finished!

My completed ornament

I ended up changing out the Antique Rose for Manor Red(crescent colors) and I used Desert Mesquite for the border instead of Evergreen.
I trimmed it with ruched ribbon.
What do you think?

All Hearts progress

Here is my progress on the freebie ornament(see post below). I love the Gentle Art sampler threads so much. I'm sorry the pic is dark,  I took it at night.
It was under my lamp too, so it has sort of a yellow-y cast. I will get a better pic of the finished piece..


I have sold Louisa. She was on TDIPT last month. The buyer asked me to add hair all the way to the back in case she wanted to display her with her bonnet off. I love the way she turned out!
A lot of times if the bonnet is sewn on, I only put hair in the front where you can see it. But I like the way she looks, don't you?
