At Long Last, I'm Back!!

It's been some time since I last posted.  But I do have some pictures to show you of what I have been up too.

But first, I want to share with you an Easter Card I received from my dear friend in Malta, Mary Grace.

For Easter we received a lovely cake from our daughter.  Which was really delicious.

And yes, we still have snow, but not as much as the other week.  Fortunately, it is melting and almost gone.

And I'm sure you are eager to see the "Wedding Card" and "Brides Token" that I have stitch for my daughter.

"Brides Token"

I've never made a Brides Token before, and I found it quite difficult to put it all together.  I'm quite pleased with the overall effect of it with the large pearl beads around the edge.  I just hope she will like it.  It will make a nice keepsake as a reminder of her Wedding Day.  I have stitched there names and the date of the wedding on the back together with an "Edelweiss", this time done the right way - see below.

"Edelweiss"

Until Next time, Happy Stitching Everyone.

Christmas Stitching and Snow!!

Here is the finished "Forever Friends" Christmas Card I stitched for my daughter.  I had some difficulty finding a card with a large enough aperture.  So I had to cut the one I had.  There was a couple of cuts showing, so I used stick on ribbon to hid it.  I think it turned out not too bad.  Anyway she loved it.

Forever Friends - from Cross Stitch Crazy issue 157.

I found some lovely Blackwork Angels by Prairie Schooler and just had to stitch them.  

And here are two that I have stitched so far.

I've made them into Christmas Tree Ornaments for my friend Janet who loves Angels.

Look what I woke up to this morning!!  Snow!

As a child I always wished for snow on my birthday, but it did not happen many times.  

But the snow today did not last very long, so  I was able to go out and do some Christmas Shopping.

Not long now until Christmas!  Are you ready!!

Until next time, Happy Stitching.

Woke up this morning to Snow

This is what I woke up to this morning.  Lots of snow.

It was only supposed to be on the high ground, but they don't always get the forecast right!
