Good tidings to you

Good tidings to you is from the JCS 2011
ornament issue. The fabric I used to make this into a pillow
couldn't be more perfect. I added mill hill beads to the
wreath. These extra touches is what makes all ornaments
different. I really enjoyed doing this piece. This is a gift for
a stitcher. I am sure they will enjoy it. The holiday season
is all about giving for me. It gives me great joy to give to other people.

Joy

Joy from the JCS 2011 ornament issue. I finished this with a great cording that matches great. It is still in pillow form. Looking for some extra special something to add. Love the colors in this piece.

Peace, Love, Joy

Joy, Love, Peace is now done. Another christmas
ornament done. This is a simple piece
but really fits the holiday season. I still can't
believe it is October.

Two new finishes

The first piece is a pattern By Just Nan
Called Christmas Cheer. I did tweek the
pattern as I sometimes do. This will be
a gift for someone. The second piece
is a Pattern by 4 my boys and is called
My first gray Hare. I finished this
pattern months ago and couldn't find
the piece. I came upon it in a drawer
I never put any cross stitch in. A
senior moment and I am not even close
to being a senior yet. I have started
my christmas gifts.

My morning Glory's

My Morning Glory's have finally bloomed.
I just love the color of these flowers. They
just started blooming last week. To me
that seems very late in the season to bloom.
I had to share. I love my flowers. My son
and I grew these babies from seeds.

Joy Ornament

Joy By Lizzie Kate. The pattern was in the
2007 Just Cross stitch Ornament issue.
This is for an exchange. I only did the JOY
part. The buttons and fabric make this piece.
My daughter is going to spain till Sunday.
She is going to school in England. I told her
to go see as much as she can while she is there.
I am so happy for her.

Sunflowers

I can't believe how long it is has been since I posted
Last. I have been busy with work. I have done
some stitching but no pictures to post yet. My
oldest daughter is in England for a semester of
school. I told her to go see all she can while she is
there. The above photo is of Mini Sunflowers in
my garden that my son and I grew from seeds.
I picked up the new christmas just cross stitch
magazine. Fall is coming upon us.

Lizzie Kate exchange received

An exchange received from Sarah Beth today. Stitched
over one and looks amazing. I wanted to get a close up
of the stitching. I adore stitching packages that we
come home to after a long day of work.

Robert Moses

Robert Moses Fishing Dock. I just got home
from fishing on this great dock. What a beautiful
place. I am so lucky.

2 new finishes

The first piece is a Halloween piece by Homespun
Elegance. Instead of the pumpkin button I added
the bat button, which to me makes it more a
Halloween Piece. The second piece is a freebie
from Lizzie Kate. The is a piece that I made for
an Exchange. The little bow at the top made the
piece. I did finish another piece but that has to
be framed.

A day trip to Cape May and Ocean City, NJ

I took a day trip today to First Ocean City, NJ.
The last picture on the bottom is from the huge broadwalk there.
A big tourist place. My visit to this town was to get some
cookies made by Crazy Susans Cookies.

Her cookies alone were worth the trip. Next to cape may, So
many victorian houses. A quaint town. I ate That huge
Lobster for lunch, and was he good. 20.00 and came with a huge salad and bread and butter. Yummo. I have stitched and
will post some pictures soon.

Ride A Bike - Again

Ride a Bike By Lizzie Kate.
If you remember I did this for my
daughter for her birthday in march.
I really love to ride my bike so I did
one for myself. I changed somethings.
I added the bee pin, how cute is that?
I trimmed it in aqua/blue/green ribbon.
I love this color. Really hot, hot, hot here,
but I always say better then snow.

Shepherds Bush Finish

Pattern by shepherds Bush. This was a
small kit I purchase at my LNS. I really
like the ribbon that came with this piece.
This is the First time I have used the ribbon
in this way. The colors are bright and
uplifting. It is a quick stitch. I hope all of my
stitching friends are enjoying the summer.
I havent been stitching as much lately.
Enjoying my walks and biking outside.
