pictures look a little blurry. It wasn't a very bright day, and my camera takes forever to take a picture when there is not much light. I have a tough time staying still that long. I guess I should say that this is Spring Basket by Lizzie*Kate stitched on 16 ct blue hand dyed aida(can't remember the name or dyer) with the called for GAST threads. I am really thrilled with the way it turned out, and am planning to make some others in the future!!
I also had some time to finish a couple of my red white and blue ornaments for my all year long tree. The first one is Land That I Love an older Erica Michaels chart I got in MB on some scrap 18ct blue aida that I also got in MB. I used DMC floss for it - my choice. The material that it is laying on is the backing with a shiny blue star button and what I think is darling ribbon.
The second is a chart from the Prairie Schooler leaflet Sunny Days. It is stitched on natural 16ct aida with the called for DMC floss. Again, the fabric the ornament is laying on is the backing material with the same cute ribbon.
My DD comes home tomorrow from her cruise, and my DGD and me can't wait to see her!! We both missed her very much. Since I have been the person mostly taking care of DGD I have had very little free time except for this Friday. I am hoping to be back posting and reading blogs!! Oh! and if this post is all messed up it is because I am trying to do it from my DD's laptop. I am a desktop computer person, and I have a tough time typing on this!
I also wanted to thank you for visiting my blog and for leaving comments. It really does make my day! So until next time - have a happy, healthy stitchy time!!

You did an amazing job.
Congrats on your first flatfold finish. You've done a marvellous job! I agree, Vonna's tutorials rule!
Great job on your other two finishes as well.
Great stitching and finishing! Yeah, Vonna's a doll baby, isn't she? That tree must be filling up!
