At Last Something to Post


The older I get, the more I think about the "good old days".  I guess it also is coming into play this year will be my 45 year reunion from high school.  I am a child of the 70's.  Peace and Love.  So you can imagine, when taking a long, hard look at today it makes me pause.  This first May finish I knew I had to stitch because the words rang true.  This is another Stoney Creek.  

 And then the next little piece of great news I I have finished another little Nutcracker and he is my favorite.  He really looks like a little Nutcracker.  Well at least to me he does.  The colors were all DMC and he came together very fast.  He is actually from the "very old" magazine I discovered.He is stitched on 22 and I could stitch him again.  (Which is very rare for me to think).  See how little he is next to Mr. Green.  If you can tell - I know the picture is small - but doesn't Little Green really look more like a nutcracker???




It is finally going to be in the 70's tomorrow.  We have been just above freezing every morning this week.  My stitching time drops dramatically as the temperature goes up. We have so little Sunny Weather here, I will be soaking up the sun every moment I get.

Have a wonderful day.

  1. Nice finish on a neat SC design, and definitely the new one looks like a "real" Nutcracker. It might be the mouth?

  3. Love the Stoney Creek design. Definitely has a proper nutcracker look - I think because you can clearly see the mouth.

  5. I love the Stoney Creek finish, it's so true and beautifully designed. I like the shading on your Nutcracker which makes him look 3d.
