It is a rainy 61 degrees here but it could be snow...lol.... Actually, I am glad we are having a milder winter.

my Christmas angel


Thought I would show a picture of my angel that I finished and framed at Christmas time. I rummaged in the garage and found a vintage frame that works well with it. I hate to put her away just yet - so she is living in the guest room for now.

Keep stitching,

365 stitch a long - day 120 - snowflake


Well I am back...lol... After taking some time off at Christmas and traveling to Martha Pullen in Orlando, I am back to stitching. What a great time I had and was so encouraged to keep stitching.

For todays stitch, I was trying for a snowflake. While there is no snow here today, it feels like it. This is actually a star stitch with extra crosses.

Keep stitching,
Janice
