A few pics

As promised!

First, the framed "Peep" birth sampler:



And second, the first of the "ornie marathon" finishes. I changed the red in the boy's shirt and hat from DMC 356 (too pink, IMO) to 815, and added the beads to the border. I backed it with some red fabric, added green ribbon trim, and glued 3 red jingle bells to the top...

Oh, and earlier today I won an eBay auction for a pattern I've been hunting for since I saw it in a BB member's gallery a year or 2 ago...John Clayton's "Bookworms." C'mon, I'm a librarian, I HAD to have that one!

Both of your finished pieces are lovely - your ornie turned out great ... I still haven't attempted putting my first one together yet - oh well, still 6 weeks to go unti xmas haha. I know what you mean about being a home-body ... I like the quiet life at home too - visits are nice, if they're short ;)

Your ornie looks so nice. You did such a nice job finishing it. I also like the color change you made I've noticed several I'm planning to stitch are too pinky too.

Looks great! I love the lettering around the chick - what colour is that (I assume it is an overdyed)?

Peep looks great all framed up! It looks like we're all ormentifying at the moment!

Craft Sale!

So my mother and I set up our little table at the craft fair this past weekend.  And we didn't do terribly!  I sold $125 worth of needle...
