Finishes Seven & Eight For 2012

Continuing on with my finishes from last year, here are two more to share with you :o)

Finish seven is called Flower Motif Pin Kit by La-D-Da -

I received this kit in a grab bag that I ordered from Stitches N Things. It came with everything so that's what I used; 35 count linen and Dinky Dyes silk. I'm not crazy about it. If I remember correctly, I just wanted something quick to do. LOL! If anyone is interested in the pattern, I'll be more than happy to pass it along. Just let me know in your comment (please include a way to get a hold of you) and if there is more than one person that wants it, I'll put the names in a hat :o)

Finish eight is a favorite of mine and one I've had on my To Do List for y-e-a-r-s! It's by The Cricket Collection and it's called Shepherd Bunny -

Now you understand why ;o) This little girl (at least I think she is) was stitched on 28 count Mint Green linen with the suggested threads. The camera really didn't take a great picture; the color of the fabric is a bit off.

Again, thank you for all your great comments! I'm only halfway through my 2012 Finishes list so there's more to come :o)

 

Nineteenth Finish For 2010

I have a surprise for you! Now what has she been up to you ask? I've been a bad, bad wittle stitcher again ;o) LOL!

I loved Pumpkin Kiss so much that I figured he should have a friend so this is where Thankful Kiss comes in -

How cute is this little turkey???? Now you can see why I couldn't resist ;o) Thankful Kiss is another freebie by The Cricket Collection and was stitched on 32 count Lambswool linen. His body called for silver Kreinik but I didn't want the bling and just went with DMC 648. Both will be made into ornaments...at some point.

Halloween went really well here. It ended up raining off and on so we didn't have as many kiddies this year...only 50. That meant a lot of candy left over and not what my waist needs right now :oP

The plans for our Jack-O-Lantern didn't go as planned :o( We 'were' going to make a snowman out of pumpkins and even got three of different sizes but with a lack of time and energy, he never got built. DH quickly carved out one on Sunday and he is fondly known as Phil (private joke) -

Scary looking isn't he?

As you may have noticed, I've achieved over 200 Pumpkin Stalkers! I had a huge smile on my face the day I saw that :o) I believe there are three duplicates though so I 'technically' need one more Stalker to make it an official 200. I'm not sure what the different between a Blogger follower and Google follower is.

Anyhoo...a warm welcome to my new Stalkers! I hope you will enjoy yourself here. If you haven't noticed already, things are pretty laid back here at the Pumpkin Patch ;o) LOL!

About a month ago, I promised that if I accumulated 200 Followers that I would hold another giveaway and I hold myself to that :o) But seeing as I just had two big giveaways and we're going into a busy time of year, I'm going to hold off until the new year. Hey, it just gives you something to look forward to, right? Keep your eyes peeled come January 1 ;o)

Eighteenth Finish For 2010

I was bad. A bad, bad, bad stitcher! But I just couldn't resist... I took a little break from Sabrina to stitch this little cutie -

This is Pumpkin Kiss by The Cricket Collection stitched on 32 count Lambswool linen. Now you can see why he just had to be done ;o) One more pumpkin to add to my collection. I even have the perfect backing fabric for when I get ambitious enough to finish him. LOL!

I feel kind of bad because I don't have any fall projects stitched this year. I still have my summer pieces hanging up and nothing to replace them with. I love my snowmen but even I think it's a little too early for them ;o)

I have to apologize to Patti because I won the draw on her Blog and haven't posted a picture of my goodies yet. I finally got myself organized enough. Lookie at what arrived a couple of weeks ago -

Thank you SO much Patti! I've had fun going through ALL of it :o)
