Greetings friends~~~ Just a quick post to show you my latest, and last finishes, for 2010.....
I have always loved this older chart by Blackbird Designs....It was a perfect fit for the 5x5 frames I have fallen in love with (from Michaels...) I actually used 32 ct Lakeside Linen Buttercream linen rather than filling in the background.....That is the only change I made...
And, I wanted to make one last gift for a blogging friend..... Knowing she is a coffee lover, I decided to stitch up this DMC freebie.......The chart calls for DMC threads, but I converted to Belle Soie.....
I went ahead and personalized the back with 2011 since she will be receiving it after 2010.....
...carefully covering up her name.....On a personal note, I would like to ask all my friends to say a special prayer today for my friend Barbara....She is taking her second chemo today.....The first round was 2 weeks ago and she did well.....Fatigued though and she has now lost her hair......But, as you have heard me say before, she is quite the fighter and has a wonderfully positive attitude..... I know she will be a breast cancer survivor with her upbeat outlook and loving prayers.......
Here's hoping everyone has time to reflect on the year of 2010 and will focus on making 2011 a great year!!!
~~~~Happy Stitching to you all~~~~
Faye

The BBD looks perfect in that frame. I love the bead you added to the hanger ribbon on the coffee ornament. It's such a small addition but so cute and perfect!
