I have to say that 2011 hasn't been the best of years (losing my Dad) but I am looking forward to what 2012 brings!!! I'm not one of those that makes resolutions or even a list of things that I want to stitch. I will just update you with my resent WIP and finishes.And I'll just surprise you with what I can come up with in 2012.
I did one final ornament for Amberlyn. She loves horses so I did this one from the JCS 2009 ornament issue.
Next, I finished another page on my Mystic! 14 pages done and 7 left to do. This was started mid 2010.
I got a little bored with all the blue, so I picked out a material from my stash (I really don't like doing that part) and started the Lizzie Kate 6 Fat Men Series. I'm doing them all on one piece of fabric. It's on PTP Doubloon 32 ct Belfast linen. They are taking only 1-2 days to complete each pattern.
And I had Carl remove the painted apple tree off my wooden calendar my Dad made me and I finished my January cottage in the CCN Cottage SAL to put on my Calendar.I used a scrap piece of 40 ct opalescent material I had, and the snowflakes and snowman don't shop up real well in photos. It is slightly better in person, but it works for me. I am officially ready for January 1!!!
From my family to yours, I hope the New Year brings joy and peace to all my blogging friends!

I can't believe how much Amberlyn has grown. She certainly is a pretty girl.

Happy 2012 to you as well. I just love your stitching -- the fabric choice on the snowmen is inspired. Oh, and belated congrats on the absolutely STUNNING Mill Hill houses!
ReplyDeleteHapp new year,
ReplyDeletebeautiful stitching, love the Mystic!
Nancy, I'm so sorry about losing your dad. I lost mine today, and I'm going to miss a wonderful person in my life.
ReplyDeleteI haven't visited you for a long time and am delighted with all you've stitched. I'll bet Amberlynn loves the horse, and I love the perf paper; have stitched several myself.
I'm seriously thinking of getting the LK series of 6 Fat Men, and yours look wonderful. Very nice choice of fabrics!
Hope your 2012 is full of happiness!
