Last finishes of 2010 & a lovely gift...

I had planned to post these pics last night, but after we ate dinner, I didn't feel so good.  I think I ate too many "goodies" yesterday! ;-(

First, let me share the lovely gift Karen gave me yesterday..... I ADORE it!  She had stitched the same design (different finish) for an exchange at the Pals Fall Fling.  I went nuts over it then, guess she remembered!  Thank you again Karen, I LOVE it!   And it was packaged so cute I hated to open it - well, almost! ;-)  Karen also makes the cutest cards/tags, and the gingham on the card matches the finishing fabric on the back - too cute! 

  Isn't it great!!

And this is what I stitched yesterday afternoon while chatting Karen's ears off.  I would have had it finished before she left, but I left out 4 stitches in the middle of the scissors - had to rip it out & fix it.  I did that & finished it up within 45 minutes after she left.  It's from Pin Pokes I by Homespun Elegance and a QUICK stitch.  It's on a 32 ct Lakeside small cut using GAST's floss (yes, I changed the colors a bit - what's new?!)  Not sure how I'm going to finish it yet, but I'll decide soon.  This will be the last finish for 2010 because I hurt my left arm and don't think after working all day on the computer that I'm up to stitching tonight.  Might have to watch one of the movies Karen  & talked about on my iPad via Netflix...  that way it won't "bother" Ray since he's busy tonight.  


And last but not least is JBW Designs French Country Angel.  I finished this just before Christmas & I will make an ornament out it - maybe tomorrow afternoon.  It's on 25 ct over 1 and I changed the word from "Angel" to "Believe" using the word from a freebie - I'll have to look for it & edit the post later.  I LOVE how it turned out.  One can never have too many ornaments - or angels!


Thanks for stopping by & hope you have a happy, healthly & very blessed New Year! 
HAPPY STITCHING!!

Title : Vibram Fivefingers KSO EVO W, Women's Fitness, Grey (Grey/Pink), 6-6.5 UK (37 EU) ASIN : B00DYXNW8C Description : MINIMALIST RUNNING / BAREFOOT RUNNING The typical human foot is an anatomical masterpiece of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. To keep our feet healthy, like the rest of our bodies, they need to be stimulated and exercised regularly. Many experts believe the shoes we wear not only cast the foot in a protective form, but can also weaken our foot and leg muscles, leaving them underdeveloped and more susceptible to injury. And while there are many occasions where traditional footwear is essential for protection, safety, and security, it is equally important to stimulate and exercise our feet in a more natural state on a regular basis.
