Winter Love & Thank you Edgar :)

Stitching time has been scarce around here-but it's just because I am having such a good time with everything else that is going on :) I stitched this for my daughters boyfriend-he has been after me for a year now to stitch him something-he didn't care what-just wanted a piece I had stitched...so I thought Christmas would be a perfect time to stitch an ornament for him to take back home with him. I ABSOLUTELY love how I finished it and I must say I think I have to stitch it again for myself. I added DD and BF's initials -Did I say how much I love it?? :)





Designer: SamSarah
Fabric: 32ct. Coffee dyed by BeckySC
Fibers: DMC
Date Started:12-7-10
Date Finished: 12-11-10


Dear Edgar sent me some Peach jam and some candies :)-thank you again my friend for the treat!!

I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season. I am having a blast-I have done things this week that I haven't done in a year or so just because my body wouldn't let me-it is SO wonderful to be WELL again and have no pain whatsoever-it's been a month and 2 days totally pain free-I guess the infection really was what caused me to be in continuous pain :) I praise the Lord daily and feel so blessed that he allowed such a miracle :)

I have decided that I will do something different with my stitching in 2011. I am not going to spoil the fun just yet-but I will say that MANY of my regular readers/commenters will benefit from my 2011 stitching :)

Thank you all so much for stopping by :) I appreciate it so much :) I mailed some packages yesterday-if you all could just let me know when they arrive I would appreciate it so much :):)

Have a VERY Merry Christmas dear friends and readers :) Remember the reason for the season!!
hugs and love from SC

OMG! This is precious as can be Becky. I can see why you would want to stitch one for yourself. You did a beautiful job on it.

Love this ornament finish Becky! I never thought to turn that one into a round shape :) I'm so happy that you have been pain free for a long time, that is wonderful news. I know what it is like to live with pain everyday and it is not nice!

It is fantastic that you are pain free!! What a wonderful holiday gift that is.

Nancy M said...

Another great finish. Do you have a mat cutter? If not, what do you use to make your forms for finishing. I have been really challenged when having to cut a perfect circle or oval for finishing. I thought whatever I could get to help me would be a great Christmas idea for my hubby to get me!! Glad that you have been pain free!!

Jan said...

The boyfriend will adore this one...it is really pretty the way you finished it! I love the checked ribbon you used!

So happy to hear you are feeling so well! Have a most wonderful, blessed and carefree Christmas, dear friend!!

much love, scoob

Your ornament is just sooo sweet!! I'll bet he loves it!
I started this one more than a year ago.... still sitting in my UFO pile, sigh.
I'm so glad Becky that you are finally pain free. What freedom! Until one has been there they just can't imagine how dibilitating it can be. May your blessings continue!
