Next Fruit in the Rotation is the APPLE


Hi there,

Here's my apple.  The skin is finished and now I just have to finish the white section and the leaf. 





The long stitches will be couched down with what else?  BEADS!




And then my last fruit -the kiwi- and the fruit bowl is finished!

Happy Thursday 😊

Santa and Three Quarters of a Penguin

I've been on vacation to what appears to be a movie location....oh wait! it was one!

Bora Bora really is paradise- no wonder the mutineers didn't want to leave these islands.  It was hard to stitch because I couldn't stop looking at the view!





But I'm back now and here's Santa




And 3/4 of a Penguin!


I only have one more critter left and the background.  I think I'll start the background today.

Have a great weekend 😎

Meet Darryl the Caroler



Oops need to trim that fringe on the right... and that's why I'm not a hairdresser!

Too Much Fun!


Here's my mini wreath from Sew Much Fun.  And it is SOO MUCH FUN to stitch!  It's perfect for a little candle in the middle or the smallest tree on the planet!




First thing I thought of after finishing this guy was SOUTHPARK!




And the reindeer- so cute with the velvet turkey work. His nose is stitched twice with neon rays - makes a big difference.



Next up is the polar bear 😄

My Florida Orange





Here's my Florida orange.   Let me tell you it will be a while before I do another project that calls for encroaching gobelin with Flair!

Only one more fruit to go - my apple.  Already checked - no Flair involved!

I think I'll do something Christmasy next 😊
