Good Tuesday to ya! Here is my most recent finish, started yesterday and finished just moments ago. It is Woodland Snowfall, by Little House Needleworks and appeared in the 2004 Just Cross Stitch Ornament Special Issue. It was, needless to say, a quick stitch. I did take some liberties with the piece, the chart calls for all DMC fibers, but I substituted a WDW variegated green for the leaves and a GAST fiber for the squirrels' tales. I also used a larger count fabric than the design called for, so my piece is a bit bigger. I'm not sure how I will finish it yet, but I'm leaning toward a cube-it. I was originally thinking pillow, and may still do that, but we'll just have to wait and see.
I went stash fondling yesterday while I was searching for my cache of small ornament cuts. I found several larger pieces of linen and evenweave I didn't know I had, in addition to a few errant pieces of aida. I long ago quit working on aida, and thought I had gotten rid of all my leftover aida pieces by sending them to stitching friends as RAK's but alas, a few pieces remain. The larger pieces of linen and evenweave may find themselves being stitched upon soon, as I have set them aside and will do floss tosses with several LHN designs I recently picked up. I'm under alot of pressure from a friend to catch up to her on The Old West, a design which I didn't think I had fabric for, but I found several pieces that just may be perfect for this design.
For now, I'm off to decide which ornament to stitch next. Dancing with the Stars results show is on tonight, and I can't watch it without a stitching piece in my lap!
