Winter Seasonal from Gaby

Here's the Winter Seasonal exchange I received from Gaby today.  This is a restitch by her.  The first one went missing in the German Postal System.  She also included some cute little green hearts in the package.  It was worth the wait, and I thank Gaby  doubly for the extra stitching she had to do.

The rains, they have come.  My drainage ditch is getting full, but the rain has been sporadic, so it isn't filling very fast.  I'll have to check it out first thing tomorrow.

No stitching tonight.  I worked on a private exchange piece.  It is finished, but it did not turn out at all like I hoped.  Now I don't know what to do.  I'll take a photo and see how it looks.  I may be surprised!

Good night all.

Winter Seasonal for Karen

I heard from Karen that she received the Winter Seasonal Exchange piece I sent her.  I was somewhat worried about the package getting to its destination because it sat in Tulsa distribution center over a day before it got on the road.  I chose an old design from the 1990's to stitch.  The price tag on the design was $1.00.  You know the design is old by the price!  Here it is:

Let it Snow

Homespun Collectibles

32ct Fabric, DMC threads

I didn't notice until after I had the piece packaged and ready to mail I forgot to stitch the belt!.  As my good friend says, We just do the best we can.  I need to start taking a photo of the stitching before I do the finishing.  I still think he's a cutie.  

On the stitching front I'm working on my HoE Santa Ornament exchange piece.  It is going slow, slow.  Hopefully I'll get the stitching done this week.  Speaking of stitching, I guess I'd better get busy.  Have a good evening.  I believe we are in for some rain tonight.  Good sleeping or should I say, good stitching weather.
