I am on a roll....!!

Two more...though small finishes! Weather's been very stormy here the last days so i am taking advantage of it, though i was out with friends shopping to the mainland one day last week and also had worked one day last weekend. I am staying on small designs for now, quicker to finish otherwise it will be put aside and forgotten. The first picture, a freebie and finished it off into a tiny cushion...found some of my red finishes before but i know i have more than these but couldn't find it.... Actually, i started this Ho Ho Ho design end of last year so wasn't much work for it, just a few stitches and the finishing. Been opening boxes too... slowly as we don't have closets yet upstairs. Was ordered and hopefully will be delivered before the end of this month. Finding some unfinished pieces just like this one below...hope to work on it soon. Some started projects, i think will just throw it away...i can say my taste had change and i would like to stitch or work om Samplers in the future. Weather here still on and off stormy the coming days, at my work place had been under water a few times already and had been to help cleaned up today but still expected will get high again a few times this week. Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. Thanks to all who stopped by and leaving me a comment.They are all very much appreciated!!

Beautiful finishes!!!
I know what it is to live out of boxes to get settled. Hopefully you can get organized when your closets come in.
Don't float away....

You've been stitching away the gray wintery days on some pretty projects! I keep meaning to pull out my projects, but just haven't done it yet. They get shoved aside at holiday time.

Love your reds, santa is adorable and oh yes! you should finish that Sampler, you are so close to finishing it.

Stay safe from the stormy weather.

Brigitte said...

Your new red little pillow is looking gorgeous together with the other red smalls in that basket. And your new little Santa is so cute.

It's always good to open all these boxes with started projects. Thsi sampler is looking so great and you will soon have finished it.

What a pity to throw out older projects because you don't like them any more. Maybe you could offer them on your blog so that someone else can finish them? Just an idea that I once saw on another blog. But I can understand that you don't want to waste your time stitching things that you don't like any more.

Your basket of red small ornaments looks lovely.

Carol said...

You're having such a productive year, Mylene!! Really love your latest red finish and it looks wonderful in your basket... The ornament is very cute, too.

Our tastes do change--I found a couple of older pieces a while back and decided to give them to a thrift shop. Just not "me" anymore :)

Very nice redwork and a cute Santa. That will be a beautiful sampler too Good idea to clear out those UFO's that just make us all feel guilty! It's the New Year so we might as well start with a clean slate!

An old WIP, a new start ..& very proud
