Wow. I can't imagine how devastated she must be. Sending thoughts & prayers to her & her family.

Cute pattern Debby! And I bought stretcher bars for my Wysocki needlepoint yesterday, from one of the stores I found searching for a LNS before your first visit! The ladies at the needlepoint store offered to help me if I have any problems.

Fabulous ornaments!

Good eye Mabel! They are indeed french knots.

So I made a bid on Ebay for this Charles Wysocki kit after seeing a pic on Facebook of another CW piece...but it wasn't until after I made the bid that I saw it was needlepoint and not cross stitch (Dimensions made both types of kits in the 80s). And of course I ended up winning the auction because ...

Great work so far! I love how quickly L*K ornaments stitch up. They make great quick gifts that way.

Wonderful!

This looks great! Love it!

Yay! So glad the original ornament found it's way back to you so it wouldn't be lost forever.

Nice work NeedleAndFork!

Here are the 3 ornaments I finished for the teachers & director at my daughter's daycare. They could've been better...some of my mounting board cuts weren't straight or the stitched piece isn't perfectly straight on them but I know they'll enjoy them. All L*K Tiny Tidings patterns. http://s8.pos...

Happy Birthday!!

I also refuse to listen to Christmas music in my car or at home until the day after Thanksgiving, and the last day to listen is Christmas day. I agree! And add 2 more to my dislikes: All I want for Xmas is my 2 front teeth and I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. I'll change the radio station if th...

Found this on Pinterest and thought it was interesting, though I don't think I'd ever try it.

Favorites: Carol of the Bells and Sleigh Ride, though I also like all of the classics by Crosby, etc.

Dislikes: Feliz Navidad, Blue Christmas (Elvis), and songs that really aren't related to xmas, like Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. I like the song but it's not xmas.

Everyone is doing some amazing minis! Mabel, you're speedy at those hardanger pieces! Here are some that I finished recently. The first 2 are ornaments for family members, both L*K designs. I like the Silent Night owl on navy fabric but it was hard to chose how to finish it...not exactly happy with ...

Great start on a nice pattern. I would have done the same thing with the different variations of floss. I've worked with a scroll frame before so I know your frustration, and I imagine the fact that you're using linen might have made it worse. That linen is slippery, wiggly stuff, but it looks good!...

It looks great! Congrats!

I purchased this design from Shannon (aka LastingAllure) in her Etsy store. Here's a pic of the whole piece: http://s4.postimg.org/941ej76j1/Capture.jpg image hosting free From left to right, there's her winter coat, her baking apron, and her knitting dress. So far, I've stitched up the baking apron...
