I am current with my stitch-a-long with iStitch Carol. If you want to see my progress, you will have to go here.
After received my JCS Christmas ornament issue, there was one ornament I had to do for my sister. It is The Victoria Sampler's "Peace on Earth".

Since I've had to pick up a few supplies along the way, I just couldn't pass up these.
While trying to decide what kind of a fob I should do for this scissor, I decided that it needed something "above" the boots. I got my creative juices flowing and this is what I came up with.

Isn't it cute? It turned out just as I had pictured, I love it!
I also made a gift for our pastor and his family. They moved last weekend and they are having something for them at church next Sunday.

And, last but not least, currently I am working on Lizzie Kate's "6 Fat Men".
This piece is alot of fun. I have all of the freebie border stitched and 2 of the 3 designs that are currently out.
Next time I am not going to wait as long to post, it is too time consuming. :)
Thanks for visiting and Happy Stitching :)
