Two finishes and a new beginning

Two of the pieces I finished earlier this month have been received so I can show them to you. The first one is a Lizzie Kate pattern minus the satin stitch on the edge. I used DMC floss on a 22 ct piece of fabric that I had dyed.

On the right is the front of Cynthia's Birthday fob and the left photo is the back. I try to use some part of the design on both sides. Now that doesn't always work out but it did here really nicely.

The second finish is part of an older pattern that I found on Leisure ArtsLlibrary. This one was a birrthday gift for Rhonda. Stitched on 18 ct aida that I dyed with DMC floss. Again I tried using some part of the design on both sides.

On the left is the back of the fob. The photo on the right is the front.

I have two more finishes that I did this weekend but I can't show them until they reach their new homes. They are also birthday gifts.

Now for the new beginning. No not a new stitching project. I have way too many WIPs as it is. :) Please say Hello to the newest family member, my great nephew. (Geez that makes me feel old. LOL) Here he is being held by his big brother. :)

Isn't he adorable?

Now to pick out one of those WIPs to work on. Who knows maybe I'll even finish something else this month. :)

Thank you all for your comments. I treasure each and every one.

Until next time...................

Love and stitches
