Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone!  I hope 2012 is the best year ever - for all of us! 

I finished up a stitching project last night. I started it on Dec. 10th but just didn't have a lot of free time to stitch in December, but I did finish it last night. This is "Naughty or Nice" by Lavender Wings. I've had this in my stash for a few years & I've always thought he was so cute. There is a Mill Hill Gold Star treasure that goes at the end of the gold at his hat, but I can't find it. I'll get one ordered next week. I think he's cute....  (though he does need to be ironed, this is straight off the q-snaps!)...


And these are the contents of my Secret Santa Sack from Carol!  Isn't everything just wonderful?  She made the cutest little zipper bag and pincushion and stitched/framed LHN's Blossoms & Blackbirds and sent all of those goodies (pre-cuts, buttons, scissors, needles, patterns, a die for my GO! Baby, etc) from Sept. through Dec.  I love it all Carol - thank you so much!  Hope we can do this again in 2012!



I entered an "ornament finishing" contest hosted by Sue Hillis in December.  It was supposed to be creative finishing and I decided "why not".  There were two chances to win, the designers choice and one that was to be voted on.  Anyway, I entered two ornaments.....  My "Peppermint Tree"....


And this design is from a JCS magazine and I think it's also in one of her newer leaflets.  The buttons are mother of pearl and it took over 100 to go around the ornament...


And a side view....


The "Button" Tree won the designers choice & I received a $50 gift certificate!  I so rarely win ANYTHING & I was shocked and happy.  Sue Hillis, if you see this, thank you again!  :-) 

I have lots of hopes to do a lot of stitching and sewing in 2012.  More than anything I just wish for peace and health for my family & friends!

Happy New Year to all!

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.
