Productive weekend & an Award!!

I can say my weekend was really productive, wish i can show all the pieces i managed to complete. There are five of them, and almost all were for exchanges except one and that's what i can only show for today.

My x'mas ornament SAL for August
Home ornament
Joan Elliott
Quick & Easy magazine
14ct aida & DMC threads













I also manage to start the 4th part of Helga Mandl Seasons SAL too.

I think this will be it for the meantime as i have to work these coming days and since school started i see the different activities(outside school) for the kids also about to start.





Received the SFE(small finish exchange) from Viv
this week too. Thanks so much Viv, i LOVE it and all the extra's too.
Do hope you'll have a great vacation here in Holland for these coming weeks!!

A Very productive week for you! The ornament in the first photo (all hearts come home for Christmas) is just adorable. School is starting for us this week, so next week I hope to be back on track with getting things (things? how about anything!?) accomplished.

I love the beaded edge on your litte ornie. I'll have to try that technique.

And it looks like Helga's winter design will really pop from that fabric!

What a cute ornament finish, and your new Helga Mandl season start is looking great too, fun colors. You also lucked with the small finish exchange, what a lovely package to receive. Good luck with dealing with work.
