December Cottage Finish

Here it is and the last Monthly Cottage in the series. I am so happy to have them all done but I will miss them. I loved the color changes and little design changes to personalize them. December didn't have much in way of color changes, only some sparkle added. A few small design changes like leaving out the bird and yellow dots in the white border flowers and adding candles, a tree with icicles in the windows and a few icicles on the roof. While I wait for Frosty Forest to start I am going to work on another UFO and possibly do a small autumn stitch. More to come soon!

Bit of sparkle added to the snow and well on the way.

Finished! Ink Circles Art Nouveau Love Letters

It felt good to get this piece finished, its been a UFO for at least a year. I am also excited to start the new Frosty Forest series from Country Cottage Needleworks in mid November. The stitch a long blog is up at http://ccnfrostyforeststitchalong.blogspot.com/ and any one who is interested in joining the SAL can email for an invite.

December Cottage Floss Toss plus!

So much good stuff I can't stand it! First the December Cottage floss toss which compared to last month,  this one I am not changing anything. I will be adding some sparkle to the snow with both blending filaments and Kreinik #4 in 032 white pearl.

I have also picked up a UFO from last year and will finish this up. Its Ink Circles Love Letters Art Nouveau sampler. Its coming along well and fast, a few more details in the frame and then the letters and it will be a hands down happy dance. The other great news is Country Cottage Needleworks has a new series starting mid November called Frosty Forest. I will set up on an auto ship to get started as soon as the charts come out and I am really excited! (Can you tell?..lol)
