Christmas Joy

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

Yesterday I finished Christmas Joy by Barbara Ana Designs, which I started on January 2. I have been sick since Friday and was able to get more stitching in than usual but not as much as I would have liked as I am just not feeling well.

This was a very fun stitch and I can't wait to frame it!

Down to 22 WIPs!

Happy Stitching and have a great week!

Christmas in July for Joan

I heard from Joan yesterday that she received her HoE Christmas in July exchange. It was sent late, but I knew that Joan would understand.

I chose "Wish Upon A Star" by Barbara Ana Designs, and made an ornament. It is stitched on 28ct. Natural Cashel Linen with DMC Floss as charted. It is very cute and I knew that Joan would like it.


I also sent Joan a few goodies.


When Joan called she sounded very excited--I was glad. I think she misses her stitching friends since moving to Aberdeen.

Winter Exchange for Gaby

Gaby e-mailed me this morning to let me know that she received my Winter exchange for the 4x8 Seasonal exchange group.

I stitched "Let It Snow" by Barbara Ana Designs on 28ct. Lambswool Lugana with DMC floss. I finished it as a scissor pocket--my first one!


This was such a fun stitch and from the sounds of her e-mail, Gaby is very excited with it!

Here is a picture of the whole exchange.


Enjoy it Gaby!

Edda's HOE Freebie Exchange Received

I just got an e-mail from Edda in Iceland that she received her HOE Freebie Exchange that I sent her.



I stitched her a free design by Barbara Ana and can be found here. Here is a picture of the entire exchange.



Edda was so thankful and grateful for what she had received. Nothing can make my day more than hearing from someone on how much joy I brought them. This is truly what these are exchanges are all about for me.
