 January by Lizzie Kate.

I am born in January and don't have

anything reflecting that.  So, I have been

on a snowman kick and decided he would

be perfect.  The fabric I did him on is

40 CT. Crystal Aerial Newcastle linen.

The linen was purchased from Picture 

this Plus.  The sparkle linen so pretty.

Its very hard to buy linen on line 

because you can't see the true color

or dye.  I Purchased several and I 

was delighted with the sparkle linens.

The plain dyed ones I won't buy again

because you don't see the true color

until you receive it.  I will definately

buy the sparkle linen again.  Here is the

LINK to the online store. 

 Like Fashion,  Accessories add to a piece.

Cording on the outside and Fiber on 

the inside.  The snow flake charms are

so cute.  Displaying this piece can be hung

or just added to a basket or as i have 

it displayed on my diningroom table.  You

can hide the hanger.

 An up close of the sparkle linen

 This is my diningroom table.  Its a different

display then my others in the house.  I sit at

my table and enjoy these sweet stitches.  I

live alone, no one to mess up the display or

get food on them.  That is one benefit of 

living alone. 

 I bought some fabrics and i haven't done that

in a while.  I have some great ideas for these

fabrics.  I just adore fabric.  I used to quilt, but

I decided years ago, My true love was 

cross stitching.  I still get the fabric fill for

finishing my pieces.  So, the best of both

worlds in my case.  Quilting is a very expensive

hobby.  I made some beautiful quilts.  My two

sisters both quilt and they do some amazing

pieces.  I could get lost in a fabric store.

Is anyone else like that?

Speaking of accessories.  I can't

wait for spring.  We have a great

store in Tenn.  Called Charming

Charlies.  All kinds of accessories.

The wristlet was only 4.99.  The

sparkle scarf is so pretty.   Heading

to Disney on a trip i earned from 

work in April.  These pieces will 

be coming with me.   

We have a winter storm heading our

way tomorrow.  First snow.   Tenn.

will probably shut down.   They just

can't handle the snow here.  I hope

everyone is getting some stitching time

in.  Cold here. 9 degrees right now.

Stay warm and safe everyone.  

I can't wait for spring.  

 

A heart finish

 This design is by Lizzie Kate.

Sent as a gift from Carol at Stitching Dreams 

Since it is Valentines week, I am post now.

This is a gift for someone and i wont be keeping

it.  So cute.  I changed the pattern a little bit.

The fabric has hearts in it also.  

I hope everyone is having a great week.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

Another snowman, so cute. and bottle brush trees

 How cute and adorable this snowman is

This is from the lizzie Kate from tiny

tidings.   He makes you smile.

Finished in pink,  I never thought of

using this color, but it looks amazing.

I added bells and crystals in the 

snowflake.  I added him to the bowl.

Always trying to come up with something

different.

 These are bottle brush trees I added to

they glitter houses.
