Taking Sign Ups Now for Stitcher's Choice Christmas Ornament Exchange!!

OK, by very slim margin, Stitcher's Choice won in the recent poll here in our blog as our next Christmas Ornament Exchange theme... any takers??

The mailing date will be June 15, 2013.

We are taking new members to HoE.  Please remember that you must have an active stitching blog in order to join.  Feel free to email me (instructions in sidebar) to talk about membership....

Usual rules apply - we will continue to be a no goodies exchange.  Sorry to those who keep saying they like it, but the financial restraints of others is something we all respect, and surely don't want anyone to feel badly.

No aida please, but linen or evenweave are always desired.  Ornament must be finished and ready for recipient to hang on the tree :-)

I will take sign ups until April 29, 2013.

Shepherd's Bush Ornament Received :)

Today I received my Shepherds Bush ornament from Sarah, along with a bunch of other goodies.  The deign is Christmas Joy and is taken from the book, BHG "A Cross Stitch Christmas Timeless Treasures".  She stitched it one over on Au Ver A Soie linen.  She used WDW, Madiera, Dmc and Victorian Motto threads. Around it is the cutest sparkly silver cording, very festive, lol.

She also included a little tin stuffed full of trims and laces, it was so fun to go through :) A very pretty piece of cotton fabric with fruit and flowers on it, I already know how I'm going to use it.  She also included two wonderful hard back cross stitch books, I'm going to look through them some more when I get done here.

Then there was this beautiful card that she made. I've never made a card before and this one is so stinking cute. Its going in my computer room which I redecorated this summer in a bird theme. 

Thank you so much Sarah, you really spoiled me, Kayona
