Christmas Ornaments 2022

 Yes I am WAY AHEAD but I want to make sure I have these in the bag.


Mardis Gras ornament from Needlepoint Now.  This was a great project with all the threads that took 2 days.



The ornament for my little neighbor next door who loves needlepoint.  I agonized over the hair and finally gave up and did outline stitch.  It's the tail that's the star of the piece anyway.





Heading back to the LOVE canvas!

Strawberry Hearts

I'm working on the BIG Strawberry Hearts canvas along with almost half the country it seems.  Here's my second heart - I skipped the first but will go back to it next week.   There was an issue brought up in the chat room about the amount of thread so I thought I would go ahead and do this heart just to see.  I had plenty of thread so it just be the path that the stitcher took.  I stitched in horizontal rows and had enough.



I'm still trying to catch up on my knitted blanket before the next yarn shipment so I haven't gotten very far on LOVE.  I'm almost done with L and I started the background because that needs to get done as I go along.  The O flowers are done in ribbon so that will be last.  Right now I'm waiting on more thread.



I'm taking the rest of the week off to sit in a hospital waiting room so I'll be stitching on little stuff.  The problem is what to take!

Knitting Update



Hi there,

I can't believe it's Friday already but here it is.  It's been a busy week and I have been all over the map.  I'm knitting a blanket and am on the bobble row.  It's a monthly kit club (naturally a monthly club) so I have this row and one more before the next kit arrives in the mail.  So far it hasn't been too bad- hopefully I will finish this before I head to the nursing home!




Here is heart #2.  I think I may slow down on these and save one or two for car trips.




And Emily in yet another small town dog show.  She looks bored or tired here- not sure which.  Definitely needs the groomer!



 Have a great weekend 


xoxo
