2015 Ornaments
I hope you all had a good new year and I hope you all have a crafty 2016.
I have two more finishes from 2015 to share with you, I gave the children Just Cross Stitch ornament edition from 2005 and asked them to choose the ornaments that they would like me to stitch for them.
This is Christopher's choice O Christmas Tree by Angel Stitchin'
Rosie chose Paws Off by Dragon Dreams
There has been a little bit of stash enhancement in the last week. With the demise of Sampler and Antique Needlework Quarterly I have decided to pick a sampler chart that I would like every quarter instead - this time it was Rachel Howells 1856 and I also got myself a copy of the 2015 JCS Ornament edition. Also I was unable to resist one of The Knitting Goddess sock clubs this year as she is running a new Discworld club. My January club yarn is called Carborundum.
As you can see there was a furry photo bomber in the photo - Florence feels that no picture is complete without her presence. She is getting to be quite a long cat now (she's almost 8 months old) although we discovered when she was spayed that there is a good inch of fur on either side of her!
