I love it! Looks like it was a fun stitch.

Thanks!

Most of my threads are not numbered so I picked whatever colors I had that seemed close to the used colors. It was done 16 count and the black was difficult for me to see. I used a piece of white cloth on my lap to be able to see the tiny little holes and magnifying headset.

I think I also have this designer for a Halloween theme and maybe a spring or Easter theme. It might have been some sort of sale.

That is so cute!

Finally finished these!

Stitched those in 2021/2022 I think, ordered the rings a while ago, bought an acrylic marker last Friday and now they’re done. I think they’re 5".

Now I’m off to stain two more embroidery rings for two pieces that @jemimah stitched for me last year.

I also want to finish the knitted sweater for my friend’s toddler today and send that one off tomorrow.

I love these patterns, and the green hoops really make them pop. Great finish!

Thanks! It’s amazing what a simple frame in the right colour can do. Since I discovered this trick I paint almost all of my frames.

Aaaand 3 more. All 6".

The Prairie School ones are stitched by @jemimah and I wanted to give those a more traditional look, so I stained the hoops with some water baised wood stain that I already had in my stash.

The one on the left was a kit and the plastic frame came with it.

My granddaughter loves gnomes so I made gnomes to donate and to give to the family. I have posted several sets, here is the latest batch for my son’s family. Have a gnomish holiday!

I am rather fond of how these came out so I want to document it here to remind me next year that the handmade label really finished it off nicely so I don’t skip it. They’re going to their recipients tonight and Thursday.

I agree, they look really good with the label! And it’s also nice to know for the recipient that one gift was handmade by you and the other one was handmade by a local business.
