Holly & Ivy ScissorKeep

For the LHN/CNN Exchange, I finished the Holly & Ivy Sampler from Country Cottage Needleworks into a scissor keep for Suzanna. The scissor shield is glued to the interior to prevent the scissor from poking thru the stitched piece.

Holiday Exchange - Easter

You don't find this design any where... I decided to create my own stitch pattern for this exchange. After plouging thru my stack of stitching magazines, craft books  for inspirations...... and this design is born. It's stitched one-over one on a 28 count evenweave. I finishes it with magnetic squares to house the needle threader and needles; and handmade the tassle. Hope you like it Barbara :).
Hmmm... I should have use a digital cam rather than my phone. The pictures did not turn out well here.

HOE Xmas Ornament Exchange 2009

Yeah!!! I finally managed to find this photo from my junk folder. I know I have taken a snap shot of it but can't recall where I saved it to..... blur me lol . These 2 cute ornaments were stitched for my exchange partner, Mary Jo, in the recent HOE Xmas Exchange. Cindy jokingly ask me .... "Where is the S-size ornament?" lol...
