I've been stitching on some little New Year's ornaments, so I'll be ready for next year! I stitched this cute little freebie in the car, and it's pretty cute! I found it here and I will finish it soon with some sparkle and glitz!
It hasn't been ironed yet...sorry! I think it will finish up really cute. This is on a small scrap of Cobblestone Aida and I used Crescent Colors Apple Fritter. It's much prettier in reality.
I have almost finished two others, for a grand total of four! That will be a good start and I can hopefully add some during the year! I also got a cute little Snoopy New Year's ornament at the Hallmark Store and some glittery stars in gold and silver! What fun!
Today I ran by the local Hancock's and grabbed several shiny fabrics for finishing these. Of course, while I was there I had to go through the stock quickly to see if there was anything I couldn't live without....I found several! And the beautiful new fabric store in my town is having a big sale, so I intend to be in there on Monday to check for necessities!
Thanks for stopping by and do come back soon!

Oh you were so close to me! I really want to make it to that store one of these days as it's one of the closest to me. Although still about 3 hours away...
Very pretty piece you're working on too!
How many trees is that now?! Gorgeous ornie in the making. Can we see photos of your stash please?
That Apple Fritter thread is pretty and beautiful finish! How fun to get to actually shop in a real needlework store - lol! Good for you. Looking forward to seeing what goodies made it home with you:)

Well you certainly have been up to fun.
I miss a real stitch shop. There were two not that far away a few years ago. Each of them have closed.
Congratulations on your stitching store find. Whenever I travel I try to find if there is a local stitching store. No matter how many stores I visit I always find something new.
I love shopping too!
Oh my - what a great find - a store!!! With stitching stuff!! I don't have any around me - ;( - ENJOY!!!

I rarely get to a real cross stitch store--I'll bet it's been three years now since I've seen one! Lucky you, Frances--I would go every time your husband has to head to Memphis for business :)
Your New Year's finish is darling--looking forward to seeing it all stitched up!
Going to a real cross stitch shop is such a rarity for me, sometimes not even every year. I would certainly have stayed a few hours too. Enjoy your stitching. x
