And that my friends is saying alot!~ My picture will not do it justice...try clicking on the picture for a better look....Jackie of Scattered Threads sent me a beautiful snowy LHN piece she made into a flatfold....Not one flaw to be found in her work!~ AND, the backing fabric she used in the flatfold...well, she also made me a little matching tote....yes, she MADE it!~ AND, she included this adorable wooden sleigh embellished with greenery and bells.... Top it all off with this cutest handmade "snowy" card!~! Jackie, stitching, sewing and scrapbooking are all talents of yours!~ Thank you so very much for making my day!~~ The overdyed fabric is beautiful and your stitching is wonderful!~~ Thanks for making this southern gal yern for some snow!~ Merry Christmas to you also!~ ((Hugs)) from NCarolina!~ Faye

A finish and a gracious thank you!~

I actually did finish Halloween Hornbook Sampler by Plum Street Samplers before Halloween!! Oct 30 it was completed and I proudly displayed it with my other seasonal goodies...This was really a fun piece to make...each square felt like a "mini" project and the colors were so nice! I converted the npi's to GAST and went with 40 ct Sand linen.... I will definitely have this one in a frame come next October!!And I would like to send out a very special "Thank you" to Leeanne of The Nifty Needle!~ I was the recipient of one of her giveaways and I have ALWAYS wanted to do Fredrick by Carriage House Samplings....Thanks again so very much for being so generous Leeanne. This one will definitely be kitted up very soon...I cannot wait to start it!~~

As many of you start to survey your completed stitcheries you are probably like me...YIKKEES, time to buckle down and get some finishes done!!! So......I will pausing for a short while on my larger projects to get my pillows, pinkeeps and ornies completed....
Nothing like it to get you in the holiday mood!!

Happy stitching everyone!~ Love, Faye
