Here it is Monday, Nov. 12 and Thanksgiving is almost upon us. Where did 2018 go? I swear the older I get the faster time flies and that just doesn't seem fair.
My first finish is one that I started last year but fell out of interest in it so I picked it back up and made myself finish it. It's a Blackbird Design called Topiary In Bloom and it's really quite pretty when finished. I stitched it on a 30ct. cream linen using the recommended over dyed flosses and finished it into a very plain pin cushion filled with rice and dried lavender. I do love the smell of Lavender!!
I finished another ornament and this one's called Autumn Bird by From the Heart Needle Art by Wendy. I just trimmed it in a twisted braid of two of the colors in the design and tied it in a bow.
I also received my order from 123 with the sparkly DMC floss and here is one of the greens I purchased. I just wanted some Christmas colors and white. It's still 6 strands and it doesn't look like it will be difficult to work with. Time will tell. The strands on the bottom of the picture is two ply.
I was also able to stitch up an owl ornament for my sister in law who happens to love owls. I hope she likes this one.
That's about all I have to show you. Have you seen the new village by Country Cottage Needleworks? It's called "Glitter Village" and yes I'm starting it. Here's the first house...
I've got the fabric...32ct. Raw/Silver Belfast Linen and I'm using plain DMC floss for the stitching. I bought all of the Little House Needlework's village this past year and really don't care for it and it will be showing up in my Etsy shop because I know I'll never stitch it. This one has softer colors that for some reason I like and I'm hoping to finish this one. I'm stitching it all on one piece of fabric...3 x 3 houses and so far she hasn't come out with a border so I might have to make one up. I think it will help pull the designs all together.

I haven't been feeling up to par lately so I made an appointment with our family doctor this Thursday. I'm not sure if it's my thyroid or what but I just have no energy and I have trouble sleeping. I'm hoping he can give me some answers.
I hope all of you have a week filled with Blessings.

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Sleep has become a problem for me as I get older but I do have energy enough. I love your finishes. I seem to be stuck doing big things so not much to show on my blog. However, I really enjoy seeing other peoples finishes!
Very pretty finishes.
Hi Barb,
Great work, and great finishes.
I would like to embroider Glitter Village at some point.
