A FINISH: Last weekend I finished this one...it was one of my UFO's i had in my basket... I started it last year... and just put it up... I have a goal to finish 4 UFO's this year... This is UFO #1. Megz is here with me while I am typing... she just giggled... and said "4 UFO's... snicker... that is Funny! " SmartARRRRSSS. She made comment that several of the 4 would be ornaments... HEY... Ornaments count! Giggle...

Anyway... This is a chart by Sheepish Designs... Betsy 108th Expemplary. I stitched it with the DMC flosses that it calls for. On the sheep... I switched out some of the colors and did a LOOP stitch to make the sheep look fluffy!!! I love it! I am so glad that I finished it... I hope to get out this weekend to find the PERFECT frame.

KITTED AND READY TO START

The first one is Hallow Eden by Plum Street samplers.. I have bought the Crescent colors it calls for to stitch it with. I have a WDW fabric to stitch it on! I am excited about starting this one!

NEW STASH...

This first group was bought at Keepsakes in Cincinnati... This was a road trip for my best friend ... my daughter and myself. We always have a ton of fun going to Barbara's shop! I fell in love with the model she had stitched... and had to but everything for this progect... now to start it!! Just 10 stitches... and it is started! LOL!

First pic... Look at my cute little stork scissors... My daughter found them... and we all fell in love with them ... so 3 pair goes in the bag.... They are SHARP though... wow! they hurt when they poke you! This is a picture of all that I bought... Look at the pre-made needlebook and the little pin cushion ... TOO CUTE!!!!

I also bought some fabric for my hoot chart... How fun!!!

The Owl Chart was NOT bought in this trip though... I just took it to get the fabric for it!

This is the stash that I bought from Terrie at The

Stitch Store... http://www.stitchstore.net/OK... Well... I will keep you all informed on my progress on each of these.
