With the old year rushing to it's end, I would like to wish everyone now already a Very Happy New Year and hopefully the new year will bring only good things to you. Let it be a healthy year, and a year without worries. Let's all raise a glass of cheer on this wish shall we?
Raise a Glass of Cheer
Designer: Black Bird Designs
Fabric: 32ct Belfast "Country Cream"
Fibers: Gentle Art as recommended with one exeption
Replaced GA Old Red Paint with Threadworkx Cherry.
This design was laying was laying around in "almost finished" stage way too long. Trying to fool Santa into that I'm a good girl I quickly took the needle up (impressions are worth a lot after all).....
Alla Turca
Designer: Pelin Tezer
Stitched over one on 25ct Lugana White
with Threadworkx Bleeding Heart
It kinda worked. Got lots of stash for Christmas,. Lots of charts, but also.....ohhh sooooo happy.....
A color card of NPI silks. With real thread - finally I can mix and match to my hearts desire. SO happy with that.
And then there also the Kangaroo scissors!!!!
Enough of that, may I introduce you to my newest bestest friend ever - the lovely Miss Charlotte Clayton. We're inseparable at the moment.
Charlotte Clayton

Lastly poor little Frederik is trying to get a bit stitching on him done too. But you know how it is when girls get chatty. Not much done here yet.
Frederick
