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!

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
