What I did this week (while fighting off a cold)

On Wednesday, I was hit by a truck. Not exactly. Just a cold, but a pretty bad one, bad enough to send my hypochondria into overdrive googling "swine flu symptoms." I did not have the swine flu, but I did feel pretty lousy. So I kept my infectious self home & decided to score a massive hit on my inventory list; I decided to do all of the teeny ornaments on hand in my stash. And so, here they are:








I tried to get these photos lined up horizontally, but apparently they had no desire to look like they were meeting an executioner, so the vertical line up it is.

All of these ornaments are from Fireside Stitchery's Teeny Mittens & Socks Club, which, in my opinion, is a great deal. You get the canvas, an ample amount of thread to stitch the canvas, decorative touches (like the button on the Peppermint Hat) or the beads on many of the canvases, needles, a very good stitch guide by Marina Ketterman & of course the canvas. You can see the club here:http://www.firesidestitchery.com/fs/clubs/index.cfm?fuseaction=getclubList&CategoryId=3&clubstate=current

Everyone have a great week!

Hi Denise,

So sorry to hear that you have been under the weather. But oh my did you get a lot of stitching done!

I keep looking at that club but I'm still working on my Halloween Cookies club from 2004. LOL!

Maybe I'll share this club with DH for my birthday or for Christmas. :-)

Thanks! I have to say these were so much fun to do! Each stitch guide was really well written & planned for such small pieces. Everyone who sees these says, "wow, such detail!" D
