I've commented several times that one of my favorite designs this year is the Charland "Tipsy Tree." My last finish of 2007 was exactly that design. I tried something new for me, beading around the edge. I think it turned out very pretty. My photo isn't that great, but in person it is so cute. But, alas, it was stitched as a gift, so it's not mine!
WINTERI also started an Elizabeth's Designs piece, "Winter Stitching Club." I enjoy stitching her designs. I have the whole series, finishing Autumn sometime ago.
HAPPY STASH
My friend, Lynn, and I have a NYE tradition of getting up early, driving to Tulsa, then shopping the big sale at The Silver Needle. We arrived about 6:05 a.m. and shopped, shopped, shopped. What fun it is to fill those baskets and get those discounts. After close to two hours, we checked out and headed to get some breakfast. (Who doesn't need sustenance after all that?!) Then to Hobby Lobby for more stash. Like I needed more. Then we headed back to the Silver Needle for shopping for another round. I believe we had a really good morning. Both of us had two large bags stuffed full of stitching goodies. Here's a portion of my stash.
I still have openings for five PIF stitchers. To fulfill my part of the PIF, I will randomly choose five stitchers to send stitched pieces to if I have no participants.
Have a great week. I head to the Humane Society tomorrow morning.

The ornie is cute! You'll have to make one for yourself. I just love the way "Winter" looks so far. I'm not familiar with that one, but will have to look it up. You did a lot of shopping!! I'll take a pic of what I got and post it. I'm trying to use up some of my stash, so I really didn't get as much as I could have...
What a lovely finish! I think I'll give it a try too.
Shopping at the Silver Needle... My, you have no idea how much I dream of doing such a thing! Here in France, our fav hobby is not very much developed and everything is so pricey!!! Sales are non-existent in that matter... Fortunately, we have the internet but it's not the same as shopping in person...
Finally, I might let DH invite me to visit the US someday? Lol!!!
Lovely job on the Winter design.
Take care!

An in-person shopping trip to the Silver Needle! I'm so jealous! I bet you had a great time and got some amazing new stash! Lovely job on your ornament :-D
Your Happy Stash is just wonderful. It's great when you get some good bargins isn't it?
I really like the beads on the Tipsy Tree. Of course Beads are my favorite. Bling what can I say.
Winter is pretty so far. I look forward to seeing it finished.
