So...I actually stitched a little this weekend! Something I realized while stitching...I am a very slow stitcher, and I also think I enjoy it more when I am that deliberate with each stitch. So often I am rushing to try and get something finished for a deadline, and I don't think I have as much fun with my stitching then.
Anyway, this little piece was stitched for a block exchange with Stitcher's Timeout. The theme is Christmas Trees, and this is an old Bent Creek design called "Happy Christmas". It is stitched on a scrap of shiny aida (there's a name for this type of aida but I can't remember what it is) with sampler and weeks threads. Sorry the picture is a little bit crooked!
And I did remember to draw a winner for the card making supplies. The winner is Peg C! I will be emailing you for your address and will get this in the mail by the end of the week. I hope you find some things that are useful in the kits.
Thanks for visiting!
A great finish! I find I enjoy it more when I take my time, too, instead of rushing to finish and get to the next project.

Congrats on a cute finish! I agree with you, nothing kills the fun as much as a deadline. I avoid them as much as possible - I have enough of them elsewhere to do that to myself with my hobbies/fun things.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute finish!
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling. When I rush with my needlepoint projects, all the fun goes away, but if I just sink in the pleasure of embroidery, it's twice that fun.
