That about sums things up! Sometimes I feel that's all I write about, but today, I do want to share a finish. Of course, not hooking (no hooking has happened here in a couple weeks), but a cross stitch finish. I believe this is a Pineberry Lane pattern that I stitched a few years ago. As with most of my cross stitch finishes, it ended up in a shoebox. My dear friend from college, Wink, was stopping by to visit yesterday and I wanted to gift it to her. I once again put on my big girl panties and got out the sewing machine. I must say, I get an atta girl for the finish!!! Stitched into a little pillow, I edged it with vintage tinsel.
Haven't been hooking, but doing a little applique. Easier when I am heading to DSO's than to haul my hooking stuff (though I still do that often). I guess I just needed something mindless to occupy my hands.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Your cross stitched Christmas pillow is awesome and looks quite nice with the vintage tinsel.
I love your finish with the tinsle.
I have been decorating for a week but I am thrilled with how it looks. I can't wait to see yours.

What a darling little sparkly Christmas pillow. It looks perfectly at home in front of your vintage Santas. It looks like it belongs there.
I am still not in the Christmas decorating mode yet. I usually wait till mid-December.
It's so much better to not have to carry all those heavy totes up and down stairs.
Take care and you can twaddle all you want.

Your finished cross stitch piece is great. I have this pattern in my stash and need to get it out and stitch because it is such a great design. Yes, my house is a decorating nightmare, seems about the time I get everything out, it’s time to put it all away.
Love your cross stitch and the vintage tinsel just adds so much charm !! Very Cute !
I have one of your neat Santas too ! It's the Santa that has a light coating of wax standing on the mound of snow . It was my Mother's and she cut out the back so a candle would be behind him ! Lucky he didn't melt or burn up ! LOL He is one of my favorite decorations .
Have fun decorating !!!
Beautiful blog
lovely display using your cross stitch and santas :)
my little farmhouse is on it's ear at the moment, but after this weekend I can relax and enjoy it!
Yes that little pillow is dear! I love the added tinsel trim- it really makes it!
Decorating light this year as our place is small-lots of pine boughs
and red dogwood fresh from outdoors! Sheepunderfeet
I believe that is a Pineberry Lane pattern and you did an awesome job. I love how you added the tinsel around. Where do you find your coverlet pieces? I would love to make a snowman applique like you are doing right now. So far those look wonderful too. Janice
If you love it (we do!) it is absolutely worth the work.
Yes, I have seen that design by Pineberry, always love the look of cross stitch pieces at Christmas and have all the ones that my friends have gifted me, out. I do the same thing, I have to take down a lot to put Christmas out and I can't help but buy new pieces each year, lol.

Dear Lauren, this evening, I'm thinking about you and your brother and have him in my prayers for a successful surgery and recovery so that you'll all have a Merry Christmas. Warm hugs and positive thoughts.
Hugs,
Julia
