Six initials, an alphabet and a birthday!




At last I finished the six ornaments for the children! From the top, Thomas (age 13), Georgia (age 9), Alex (age 13), Jack (age 17), Kirby (age 21) and Megan (aged 15). These ornaments are all stitched from a Sajou alphabet with HDF Perfect Red 6215 on 32ct count raw linen. I also used a white silk thread on the girls' initials and finished the outer edges with white Delica beads - the ones for the boys I left plain. The red and white alphabet ornament at the bottom is stitched 1*1 on 35ct white Brussels linen with HDF OMG Red 1149 and the pattern is Coeurs d'oiseaux from François Prax Miniatures au point de croix book - see *here*




As you can see we had more snow overnight. It snowed on my birthday last year too. No plans for today except to put a few stitches in Jane Rees.

Thanks for visiting
Take care

It's snowing!




As forecast we have snow and I love it!

I was hoping to take pictures of my finished ornaments today but earlier today it was much too dark and now the snow. If it stops I'll try and take some outside otherwise I may have to attempt some under my Ottlite. I also found a tiny stitched alphabet that I finished as an ornament.

And now back to Jane ...

Take care and, if you have snow, keep warm and safe!

I ♥ Snow


Click on the picture to enlarge - can you see the castle in the background of one of these pictures? It's stopped snowing but more is forecast overnight.

I stayed home today and Sew in Love is now stitched. I will hemstitch it tomorrow in readiness for a photoshoot and a release after Christmas to enable lots of time for stitching this for that special Valentine.

Take care

Snow!



I wasn't going to post this morning but I awoke to discover it had snowed overnight. It doesn't often snow in our part of the country and for it to snow on my birthday is a rare treat. This is the view from my bedroom window - isn't it pretty?

Thank you for all my emails, e-cards and snail mail cards.

Thanks for visting
Take care
