I Am Still Here

 Hello to all my followers, thank-you for hanging in there, many things have happened here, I will not go into details except that I have been spring cleaning, lots and lots of spring cleaning.

I have done some stitching since Easter Morning after Mass, it felt so good to have needle and thread with fabric in hand, I had done some finishing which is not a lot but some.

First I want to show you my new design I bought just today on Etsy it is from A New Creation By Alison, she is an amazing designer and has so many beautiful designs I want to stitch but being a one at a time stitcher I will buy from her again after i finish this beautiful design, it is Nativity Band Sampler so beautiful. I hope to have the black fabric in my stash or maybe a dark blue will do. Please check Alisons site out. She is offering a 10% discount I hope you visit her. anewcreationbyalison.etsy.com




I did finish stitching Santas Workshop from Stitching Fairy, she is also on Etsy she has a blogspot: https://happinessiscrossstitching.blogspot.com Please visit Lyn  also.


Not sure how I will finish this one off, I will think a little.


Brenda Gervais Valentine Sampler


This is a Brenda Gervais design I stitched a while ago, finally finished the pieces,
The box's are painted a medium green with a Bree Wax finish, so sorry I did not take a photo


I love the pillow without trims around it, I did try pinning on a ribbon but felt it look like way too much ribbon because of the ribbons on the box's and needlebook, I am happy I only pinned them on just to see how it looked instead of stitching or                                                             glueing it on   
         

 I really like the folded book it is lovely in my eyes I should have taken a photo of                                                          the inside, so sorry


     This was to be a scissor fob but I stuffed it too much now it is a mini pillow


I also did finish a penguin from a club at Not Just Another Button Company, I will show you the photo in my next post he is adorable, I just do not want to post a long                            post today, have to get ready to go shopping
I hope all is well in your homes, please Pray the hatred stops in the world please                                      also pray my surgery goes well on Tuesday

The pattern you shared at first is very pretty. All of your finishes are adorable and you were busier than you realized. I will remember you on Tuesday and lift you up in prayer.

I'm sure you were feeling so happy to settle into your stitching chair after that long period, Catherine! Love your finishes--that set from the Brenda Gervais Valentine Sampler is just gorgeous. I have that chart, but have only stitched the one little pillow design (which I gave away!). Sending hugs, positive thoughts, and prayers for you and your surgeon on Tuesday. Take care now. ♥

I don't think I would have had the patience to give up stitching for so long, but thankfully you had some beautiful pieces to finish...and your finishing is truly lovely! The pieces you stitched by Brenda Gervais are beautiful! Santa's workshop would be fun finished on a wooden board to be displayed like a sign. It's a fun piece! I love, love, love the Nativity pattern you found! I do love Nativities! I will be praying for you for your surgery and recovery. Take care! Happy Stitching!
