Happy December...

Time sure has been flying by around here - is it just me or is it that way for you as well?
I've done a bit of stitching, sewing & finishing, but not as much as I'd like.  Isn't that always the way?   Most of it I can share.....

Stealing the idea from Karen (thanks Karen!), I made two mini bottle cap pieces for winter.   The designs are little motifs from Lizzie Kate's "Winter Alphabet".  I left the sled off the snowman & added more "snow".   I still haven't made them into ornnaments OR magnets - still thinking about it. Oh, and they're stitched over 1 on 25 ct.....  The bottle caps are 1".


And I also stitched the Little House Joy & Peace on the same fabric over 1.  You can see it next to the 1" bottle caps.....  I still need to "finish" it as well.


I stitched a Sue Hillis design that I just love!  What do you think of my finishing?  The ribbon is sort of like a "velvet" that came from Michael's and it's the perfect shade of red and the perfect width to fit the ornament.  I didn't use all the colors that Sue charted it for - but I love how it turned out.

And I found these little guys (and gals) at Michael's a month or so ago.  As soon as I saw them I knew they'd make darling Christmas pincushions, so I made these for friends.   They all have them now, so I can share.  :-) 



I've also made a bunch of Christmas cards, some of which I've already mailed - I NEED to get the rest of them in the mail - don't you think?   Here are some that haven't been sent yet.....



And last but not least is a Shepherds Bush that I finished last Sunday.  It's just laying in the Jill Rensel mats - it hasn't been ironed & laced yet.  I just wanted to see what it was going to look like.  Cute huh?



The last stitch-in of the year at The French Hens was this past Saturday.  We had a smaller than usual group but I had a ball.  It's great to spend time with stitching friends and we were able to have conversations that included the entire group, which was nice for a change.  Thanks to those who came - I really enjoyed the day & hope to see you all again in March!  If you're interested in details - email me - amycspals@yahoo.com.

I have lots of other things "in the works".  I'll share when I have pics.  Thanks for stopping by.  Happy stitching & sewing!

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.
