Stitching!

You can click on all pictures to enlarge.
This is one of the scrap patterns that I got from one of the ILCS retreats. It was quick and I really like the colors in it. I used DMC rayon threads and I dyed the material at one of the HS retreats.
I finally remembered to pick up DMC I needed for Hannah and stitched on her, but have decided to use the metallic threads and not DMC for the rest of the stitching that is left. And of course I don't have that color in my stash.
It was time to get out Earthdancer and rip off the top of her head.
I think that is all that I will have to rip out.
Decided not to jump back in where I had just ripped, but did make some progress on her.
Yesterday I received this in the mail from Mylene. Thank you so much!!! I love your ornaments. It is now on the tree with the others from years past. You are so nice and do such wonderful stitching and finishing. Thanks again! It really made my week.
This is what I have been working on this week for my Etsy shop. Beaded star earrings, necklaces, bracelets and ornaments (ornaments not shown in picture). They are really neat 3-D stars. I should have them in the shop soon. Still working on pictures. Also started a beaded Christmas Tree that is going to be gorgeous!!! But it is very time consuming and I still need to order more beads for it.
And I participated in an ornament exchange at ILCS group and Vicky has received her ornaments that I made her so I can show the picture now. I was so happy to hear that she loves them!
I will be doing a blog give away each month next year. So please spread the word!
Thanks so much to everyone that visits my blog and leaves a comment.

Very cute ornies! :) Especially love the spider ornie since we had done the research on the German story about the spiders spinning the webs to make tinsel. The stitching is going wonderful. Keep it up!
