SAL-Heirloom Bride Ornament – #9 Giving

It’s been six weeks since our last update. Thankfully Avis our organizer made the call not to update the few days after Christmas because I was dead on my feet after filling Christmas orders for over 3000 cookies!

I did get Lavender Girl finished and given away to my Step-daughter! Here is where I was last update on her:

And here she is as of the final stitch.

And here she is finished in pillow form. Isn’t she gorgeous??

After getting her finished I was eager to start something new but not so involved. I needed a palette cleanser of sorts so I stitched an ornament for my son who was spending his first Christmas in his new home.

Here is that ornament stitched.

Then I dove back into the Heirloom Bride Ornaments series #9 with the finished eight hanging on my tree this year. I made great progress with it and hope to have it done next update.

Happiest of New Year’s to everyone! Let’s have a wonderful year in stitching and creating.

That’s it for me this update. Time to hop to the other stitchers in our group!

Thank you, Avis, for organizing this Stitch-a-Long. Please visit the other blogs to see what other fabulous stitchy projects they are stitching. We are all working on different pieces!

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.

  1. At almost 80 I no longer have work to bother with and I just wish my stitching was half as productive at yours. Fantastic results with everything and love the finished Lavender Girl. x
