Ornaments to share!

I've been wanting to post these for awhile now, just haven't had
the time. First up, Angela and I were in a private ornament swap
together. This is what I stitched for her. I LOVE snowmen!! So I
just had to stitch this one up. It's by Barbara Ana, from a new
booklet she just put out this month called "more Christmas
ornaments". It's stitched on 28 ct summer khaki linen with dmc
and dmc color variations floss (my own color substitutions).


Next is the ornament Angela stitched for me. I love it! And it's
a snowman (of course). I only have 4 cross stitched ornies on
my tree (including this one) so it is proudly displayed right in the
front! Thanks again Angela for swapping with me. It was so much
fun. We'll have to do it again next year!


And last but not least, the SBEBB ornament exchange to Cindy.
I had a difficult time deciding what to stitch for her. I wasn't sure
what the weather is like in Singapore. So I settled on this one
from Blackbird Designs. It's called "winter song" and is in the
JCS 2008 Christmas ornie issue. I personalized it with her initial.
It is also stitched on 28 ct summer khaki linen with dmc & sampler
threads. There is a better photo on her blog!


The entire exchange I sent to her. I even found a notepad with
the letter "C" on it!

Teacher's gift

This is the only teacher gift I had time to
make. It was made for DD's (McKenna)
teacher for the end of the year. I wanted to
do something special since I knew this
teacher was being let go-due to budget cuts.
Not to mention, out of all the teachers that
my 3 children have had-she was my favorite.
She will be missed!

Lizzie Kate's-Teaching is a work of heart
Stitched on 14 ct. fiddler's aida (I ran out
of linen & only had a few days to stitch this).
Finished into a pillow. I added a ribbon bow
and then an apple button on top.

Thanks for all your wonderful comments!!
