Well I have been busy even though I have not been posting. I sent out my sisters package on Monday and she already got it so I can show that off. I made her a ornament and gave her some hang tags that she can use to dress up a gift or put them on her tree if she likes. I also have made some simple little ornaments that I am going to dress up a gift bag with for some of my friends. I made 11 of these little things! I have more stitched but can't show off yet because they have not been given so I look forward to showing that off later this month! I have been putting finishing touches on ornaments to give to family for Christmas and made a door hanger for my father but can't show that yet either! So far December has been good. I have been getting Christmas cards in the mail from my stitching friends and some have had little surprises in them! I am also taking part of an advent exchange in the cross stitching group I am in. I am thankful that my partner came through and I got my package in a timely manner. Some of the ladies in the group are still waiting for theirs to arrive so I am hoping their packages arrive quickly so they can take part of it as well and have fun. I have been a little disappointed with the exchange I don't know what to say so I won't. The gifts have been wrapped very pretty though and I love the paper the gifts have been wrapped in. As you can see Lana is having fun laying in my stash and in the next picture my baby Bela is hanging with her sister Lana. Bela is growing up fast! On January 4 she gets fixed finally. I can't afford to get her declawed but getting her fixed is the most important as all of my other cats and dog are. The last picture I could not resist because it is rare to have all my babies in one picture. Here they are at feeding time! Hope everyone is having a great week so far!
That's a lot of backstitching on those pieces girl! No wonder you haven't been posting, you haven't had time! Did you make those hang tags? They're darling!
ReplyDeleteThose ornaments were a pain at times and I admit I made mistakes a few times as well but made it work for me. I wish I could say I made the hang tags but I did not I buy them from a lady on ebay that has been making these and other great crafts for years.
ReplyDeleteKay, you have been busy!! I love the pointsetta ornaments. They are awsome! Am I the only one that finds backstitching quick and easy? LOL
ReplyDeleteYour cats are adorable! My husband walked by while I had the picture up and asked me when I got that picture of all of our cats together..I told him to take another look and his eyes got wide and he asked who they were. LOL
I think back stitching is easy too but when it gets detailed then that is when mistakes can happen and I did that a few times with those so I was happy to get them done! I know it is rare to get all the cats together like that so I could not pass that up.
