Here is part 2 of this Mystery sampler all finished up. Although I did change the eyes of the birds a bit. They were meant to be a straight stitch, but somehow that didn't do it for me After frogging and replacing them with French Knots I was happy again. Can't wait for the last part to be released.
For the rest I did mainly stitch on Amsterdam
Lisa stitched for me a gorgeous snowman ornament for an exchange at "Hooked on Exchanging". It's lovely stitched and finished. Lisa stitched a design by SanMan Originals on Summer Sky Jobelan. I love it.
And look at the backside. Isn't that a darling embellishment?
2 GIVE AWAY'S
Deb is holding a fantastic give away for a Go! Baby. Which is a device I'm drooling about since I first time saw it in action. It is SO fantastic to cut out shapes. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. . If you want to have a chance of winning it, then hop over to Deb's blog, which is a great blog anyway to visit, no matter if you're after the Go! Baby or not.
If you're a scissor addict or sampler lover like I am, then you should visit Jennifer's blog as well. She's giving a way a fantastic pair of Gingher scissors and also a sampler she designed herself. And her samplers are all looking gorgeous. This give away is dedicated to a little girl, Caylee Anthony.
And lastly I would like to announce that I'm holding soon a give away on my own to celebrate my blogoversary. But details about that another time :)

Oh wow Gabi, your Birds of a Feather piece is so beautiful!

Your other piece is also looking fabulous. And the snowman ornament is adorable.
Gabi, as always, your stitching is beautiful! You've really got along with Amsterdam since I last checked your progress. It won't be long now. And I just love the mystery sampler! I've been watching the blog you're on for that SAL, and was going to get the project myself, but for the price, and the fact that it was no longer a mystery for me, I decided against it, LOL, but I truly love the design. You're a very fast stitcher! And your stitching is divine.
Your Birds of a Feather is just beautiful! I have yet to start mine but I've seen the last release now and it will be a wonderful piece.
Your Amsterdam piece is stunning!
Absolutely beautiful stitching. Amsterdam is quite stunning.
Your sampler is lovely.
Your sampler looks gorgeous Gabi. I am not real happy with the bird's eyes on mine either and have been thinking of doing a French knot as well. Love your snowman exchange and Amsterdam is going to be absolutely stunning when finished.
Your BOAF is just stunning! How does it feel to be almost done? :o)
What an adorable ornament!
I love the mystery sampler. It looks gorgeous.
I'm going to have to try the snowman at some point. Looks like fun.
BOF looks fabulous, love the colours too, part 2 arrived yesterday so I have to get cracking!
A'dam is lovely, such an epic piece:))
Your BOAF sampler is coming along great! I may have to break down and get it now that I see it.
Amsterdam is a gorgeous piece! Looking forward to see it finished.
I am so happy you like the snowman ornament I made for you! It was so hard to let him go :)
I totally understand the eye change- straight stitches don't do it for me on eyes either. :) The piece is beautiful!
What beautiful pieces! I love your Birds of a Feather sampler...you have made wonderful progress on it!
