Hey Blog Buddies,
It seems that I have been stitching things lately that range from the fiddly (lots of color changes) to the annoying (having to lay a lot of threads and/or using the dreaded Neon Rays). So for this IHSW I decided to go with something simple:
What could be more simple than a Prairie Schooler ornament stitched in only one color? I started and finished stitching this piece this weekend. It looks like basically nothing now, but eventually it will become a "strawberry" ornament with candy cane stripes. The chart is from Prairie Schooler's Christmas Strawberries book--so that makes two ornaments that I've stitched from that book. One more, and I'll have them all finished into the strawberry ornaments that they are meant to be.
Hope you're keeping warm if you're

In other stitching news, I have a lovely new finish-finish...
This is Little House Needleworks' Warm Winter Woolens,
stitched by me and finished by the talented Karen U.
It was finished as a box, and is sitting on my shelf as I type.
That's it for now: short and sweet.
