It has been getting unnerving waiting for the New Year and the Crabby SAL. I just want Christmas to be over and it to be 2009 and let me begin stitching! ROFL I desperately needed something new, so yesterday I started a little ornament for a somebody special. She sometimes reads my blog so I can't post a photo...but I can give you a hint:
Yes, my new start has loads of beads! Here they are in my Tacky BOB. Do you use a BOB? That is the handiest thing for working with beads! Click the link and scroll 1/2 way down the page to lookity. I never lose beads now!
I finished up the ornament in no time flat so my new start is now a finish. It turned out so nice too. Hum, now what to do?
A Christmas Surprise!
Look what was in my mailbox. Wow, it is a Christmas present from my floss kid Lisa, in Scotland! She sent me a beautiful stitched kitty ornament, a box of fudge (nearly GONE already) and a kit from my wish list! I love those hieland coos! Can you see how the fabric on the ornament is sparkly? Oh, I just love everything!
Thank you so very much, Lisa. You are such a sweetie!
Nice gifts! I've not seen a BOB, but it looks quite handy!
ReplyDeleteA few of us in our group us a Tacy BOB....I don't but I'm willing to try. I know the girls like them. What a nice surprise for the holiday season! Love the kitty ornie.
ReplyDeleteLove the gifts from Lisa!
ReplyDeleteJust LOVE your cats--and your masthead is wonderful. You must have a grand old time when you go to England! Have you been to Eton? They have a whole store filled with nothing but cat stuff!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the new start or the Crabby all Year SAL. Don't tell - I started a new ornie today too. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice surprise!

Gifts from Liza are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely surprise, that cow is adorable! I love my Tacky Bob, I don't know how I managed without it...
ReplyDeleteI know how antsy I can get when I have to wait to start a project. I usually do it as a reward to myself for finishing the current one, but it takes willpower to hold off.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the Bob thing. Working with beads is kind of frustrating for me.
Lovely gifts from your 'daughter'. Enjoy!
What a wonderful surprise...enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift!
ReplyDeleteTacky BoB's are a MUST when stitching Mirabilias and Lavender and Lace designs.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE mine!
I love Wee Hieland Coos! I stitched the bookmark from the same company for my SO, he adores them :) Great gift from your floss kid, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteLovely gift, and yes i do have a tacky bob and also a CD case with double sided tape in it (self made one LOL)
ReplyDeleteDear Daff, I am sure you have commented on this before, but I would love to know what Margaret Sherry chart you used on your header.~~A faithful "lurker" from Louisiana
ReplyDeleteI really need to get one of those BOBs! What a tease you are too ;o)
