Showtime!!

Yes, I've got a lot to show. A stitch-out I did for Joan, a Crazy Exchange returngift, a Christmas ornie I sent and a great progress on Celtic Mystery.
To start with the stitch-out, Joan, designer of Sapphire Stitching, asked for stitchers for a Walking in a Winter Wonderland-biscornu some time ago. I thought it was fun, doing something like that, so I volunteered. Surprisingly, Joan added my name on the website (wow, so officially, proud feelings!!) and my recommendings too!
The picture is taken in my own garden, lovely detail :) , and here it is on my own table.






Taija sent me a lovely returngift. She made me a blue bag in different fabrics, and she added some lovely goodies. Some chocolates (two are already eaten .... eehhh correction, three actually LOL), a cute pink kitty, which I believe is a glow-in-the-dark you can wear on your cloths.
She also stitched me a cute little santa, finished in a frame, so it is a Christmas ornament.





Margaret let me know she received the Christmas Ornament I stitched for her in the HoE Christmas Ornament Exchange. I am so happy it arrives safely, and she likes it! I stitched a design of JCS 2008 Special, but I changed some details, like the floss I used, and the beading I did. It is a really tiny biscornu, I sure want to stitch it for me too, so one of these days...





I also want
to show some progress on my Celtic Mystery. Yesterday evening I joined the SAT again, and it's a good reason to stitch, stitch and stitch. So no computer, no mail, no chatting, just my needle, me and a good detective on television. I think I need more SATs LOL

You go girl! You are being so busy - my excuse is that we have had a houseguest all week, so I could not go hang out in my sewing room (it would be rude I guess). But he goes home today, so I should have some time starting today. In fact, I will go do some fabric shopping this afternoon - the shops all have sales for after Thanksgiving. You are setting a high standard for all the rest of us. Keep it up!
Groetjes,
Marne

Lots of wonderful stitching Joke! The biscornus look super & I just love the little snowman button! Do you remember where you bought that? Your Celtic piece is stunning!

Thank you all :)
Mare: the little snowman was in the kit Joan of Sapphirestitching sent to me, to do the stitchout for the biscornu. She should know where she got it :)
