The last finish for 2019



This is the last finished piece for 2019!  I actually finished 19 pieces this year!  I am amazed.  It has been a crazy year in so many ways!  I don't plan on trying to finish 20 pieces for next year but I know that is what some people will try to do.  I stitch for various family members, some friends and some for me.  So, while there are some things on the worktable ready to start, I hope that the new year brings some fun surprises in many ways for us all!  Happy New Year to one and all!

Starting the Ghost


The ghost is white Silk Lame Braid in Diagonal weave.  I am adding the pink and gray as I work down the canvas.  He shines a lot more in person.

Boo! ornament


I am getting back into my stitching.  My wrist has healed and I can get back to stitching some again.  This ornament is by Painted Pony and will be on my Halloween tree next year!  The top band is complete and I am starting down the sides.  The 3 inch square design should go pretty fast.
