A small finish

I just finished making this into an ornament for my ornament tree next year.  Is is the 2nd in a SAL from Cathryn McGurrin of Blueladie Designs.  Thanks Cathryn for designing these for the ladies on KYKS.

Designer: Blueladie Designs by Cathryn McGurrin
Stitched on 16 Ct. White Aida using DMC Floss
Stated Stitching 02/22/2013 Completed Stitching 02/23/2012
Made into an ornament for my ornament tree on 02/25/2012


Just a note that the remodeling on our downstairs bathroom was finished on Friday evening.  Yesterday Bob and I spent most of the day cleaning and putting everything back not only in the bathroom but in our basement as well.  It also meant Bob threw away a whole lot of junk.  That was a miracle as he never throws anything away.  Today he is painting the medicine cabinet so as soon as we can hang it I will post some before and after pictures.  I still haven't found a shower curtain for in there but I hung the old one for the time being.  I did see one a few weeks ago that I sort of liked so I may go pick that up after work tomorrow.

We had snow

Just wanted to post some pictures of the snow we had last night and also a couple of WIPs.  The snow didn't amount to much but the trees and shrubs in our backyard were beautiful this morning and I couldn't resist taking a couple of pictures.

Our back yard decorated with snow

 Here are a couple of pictures of my current WIPs.  I did finish stitching another ornament yesterday and will post a picture as soon as I make it into an ornament. 

Kitchen Sampler 2 as of yesterday.  I am having
lots of problems with the lettering on this so
I am going to frog out what I have done
and stitch it differently

Bridge in Monet's Garden as of last night
I have about 500 stitches left on page 9 and then
on to page 10.
