Babette goes walk about

Missus H. told me I have a cousin in my new abode. When she went out I went to look for him. I met lots of lovely, friendly inhabitants but alas, no cousin :( Where he go to we don't know!!!!
Missus H. said she made the nativity set. She took a class with Grandma H. She said that the nativity set is about the birth of someone called Jesus. He is very important person to all Christians and many other peoples. The family is reading Luke and stories from Happy Tales to You Christmas book. I am learning a lot.

Christmas Stitching

This will probably be the last of my Christmas gift stitching for this year. It's a Dimension needlepoint kit I got on discount. I'm substituting 14 count Aida for the plastic canvas. There's three different kinds of floss/yarn.
The stitches being incorporated are Continental Stitch, Satin Stitch, Cut Tack Loops, Alternating Stitch and French Knots. I'm about 1/3rd the way through the middle snowman on the top row in the picture.

"I Love Snowmen" - finished at last :)

It only took a few minutes to sew each ornament together. I think the frayed edge is becoming one of my "marks" given the number of projects I've finished off this way. The rest of the pictures are on my side bar under Stitching Finishes 2009.

"I Love Snowmen" - another one finished

The stitching for another snowman is now complete :) I'm about 1/3rd way through stitching the last one and then can do a short sew in to add all the backs and hangers.

"I Love Snowmen" series

This is the most recent finish in my "I Love Snowmen" series. I have about 2 or 3 left to do then I will make them into christmas ornaments.

They are all about 4 to 5" tall and look great when they are done BUT have a lot of color changes in them which means I have to concentrate really hard when I am sewing them.

Happy stitching.
