Christmas Eve Flight

I've had this in my freebie folder for a couple of seasons now and I thought that I would pull it out and finally stitch it up.  I love it!  I found it when I was doing my year of the reindeer last year.  And I just never got around to it.  I sure am glad that I did it now. It's another little happy dance for me this year.
It's by Sampler Girl and you can find it here.

I've got MacDonald's Maple Leaf all squared up in my qsnaps so I'm off to stitch for the last two periods of the hockey game.

Oh exciting news!  I've signed up for International Hermit and Stitch Weekend.  It's my first time and it sounds like fun.  You can click on the icon on my sidebar to find out more info and join! 

Another ornie

I stitched this up yesterday while I was enjoying my day off.  Oh how I love long weekends.  This actually meant to be a gift tag of some sort I guess, but I have made it into an ornament (or I intend too anyway)  I just love it, I thought it was really pretty.  Found it in the Christmas Issue of Jill Oxton's Cross stitch and beading magazine.

Made it to the fabric store yesterday and got a few fabrics for finishing and found some small pompoms as well.  So I'm a happy girl.  I'll take some pics and post tomorrow.

I'm having a stitchy day with my SIL tomorrow, so that will be fun!

Cookie for Santa

This little joy to stitch is from an old JCS Ornie issue (1999) to be precise.  I've already got the next one all kitted up and ready to stitch.  I'm having such fun!!

I'm hoping to go to the fabric shop and do some backing shopping for all the ornaments that I've stitched to finish them out and then I may even drag out the sewing machine to get started on them.  I really want to find those pom-pom type trimming that I see people using because I think that I've got a few that would be finished perfectly with that trim.  So that's my mission tomorrow.

It's a long weekend for me so I have 3 glorious days to spend fiddling with my ornaments. :)
