Some winter stitching..




This time I seem to have kept my hands busy. With it being winter it is cold and snowy out so needless to say more days are spent at home inside where it is warm so I have been stitching my time away. I managed to get a few finishes from from the JCS Christmas ornament issue from this year. The first finish is by Brittercup designs. This one I had to stitch because the kitty reminds me of my cats and how they love to sleep under the tree every year. The next finish is by Lizzie Kate. I know the year is a bit dated, but I had wanted to stitch this for some time and it is such a quick and simple finish. When I look back at the years it does not seem like it has been 16 years since I have been with my husband, but if I have a son that is going on 15 in August then it really has been that long. Time just seems to move on too fast! The last finish is also from the JCS issue. It is by Country Cottage Needleworks. I have seen a few stitch this and the original colors are pink and blue that are used, but that just really does not go too well with everything that is in my tree so I decided to be a rebel and stitch the colors that would blend in better with my tree. As always thanks for stopping by and for your kind words!

  4. Very cute ornaments, Kay! My kitty always loved sleeping under the tree, too (or climbing it!!)... I like your change of colors on the last ornament--pink and blue aren't really my choices for Christmas either :)

  6. Love your Christmas stitching. I too have cats that love being under the tree. Guess they think they can't be seen.LOL.
    Love your commemorative piece and great to mark it with a lovely stitched reminder, no matter how long ago it was.
    The CCN one is also something I would change to suit my own tree decorations, I think you have made it look very feative.
