Well it's still raining here off and on but I was able to get to Costco and Joann Fabrics today. Needed some floss for my next project. I've really scaled down my fibers. I only keep on hand those flosses that a pattern calls for and ones that are of a primitive color palette. It makes it simpler to handle and doesn't take up as much room.
I was able to get Forget Me Not and the LK Merry Christmas ones finished up today. I'm liking the LK but not so sure about FMN one.
This is the one I dedicated to my brother and on the back I placed his name and date of birth/death. The little clocks in front of it I just received from my oldest brother. These were clocks that Richard had purchased for our Mother on two Christmases and he thought I might like to have them. I think it's perfect to have these in front of the picture.
This little guy turned out great. I placed the part for the candle in the back so that the light shines down on the cross stitch. I did a machine quilted pattern on the fabric part and I like how it goes with the Santa.
Betsy's Tart is coming along and so far a fun stitch.
I just received an order from Stitch & Frog that I just can't wait to start but my next project will be a Shepherd's Bush Slate Snowman.....it has a snowman AND a sheep. Can't wait to start that one either. "So Many Projects....So Little Time".
Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend so far.
Blessings, Barbara

Very nice finish work Barbara. You certainly are keeping busy in this storm!
Barbara: I hope the rain is not to much for your area, it sounds like a horrible storm, I watch the weather channel to see how it is going up the east coast.
Love your finish's so sweet, I have never thought of a candle mat and a finish the way you did it, what a great way to have the candle shine above Santa so sweet.
I love the Tarts, I broke down and bought some tart pans that are vintage and the perfect size, i need to have a finishing day next week.
I had to pin your works onto Pinterest.
Blessings
