I am always forgetting to update my blog with my stitching photos! I have been posting some on the Let's Stitch blog and then neglecting to add them to mine. Gotta get more organized!
I stitched up this little Shepherd's Bush sheep kit a couple of weeks ago. Not sure how I'll finish it. If anyone knows anything about me, you'll know I tend to "not finish" which is one of the main things I want to overcome this year. I like SB kits, but this one had me disappointed. Not enough of the brown thread (the swirls, the hive door, the bees) and it wasn't very dark anyway. I had to substitute a little. SB sheep have such character...

And, I finished my first ornament of the year for the 2009 Christmas Challenge. I have a couple of days to finish it up into something (help help). I know I don't want to make a pillow ornament, so I think I'll try a pin keep type thing. Wish me luck!
For some reason, I just adore this whimsical skater.

Speaking of skaters, an Ohio skater won the US title the other day in Cleveland. Way to go Alissa Czisny!

I didn't realize you'd already been tagged and I tagged you again. Sorry but I just love your blog! Don't worry about passing it on again.
That ornament is super! I love the way it turned out. A pinkeep would be great for it. They're not hard. Try some of Vonna's tutorials. I'm a non-finisher myself and I'm proud to say I completed my first pinkeeps this past year.
These are all wonderful finishes... Congratulations.
They're both gorgeous Barb, congratulations
I'm so glad you commented on my blog, because then I was able to get to your blog! Busy looks fantastic. I'll keep in mind that there was not enough silk for it, as I will be getting that kit very soon. And the ornament looks fantastic. I always loved that one from the JCS issue. Great job!
I like your christmasornament very much and the finishing too! "Busy" is cute.
Barb thanks for the questions. I have posted them on my blog and really enjoyed ansewring them :)

Hi Barb,
Thank you for commenting on my blog. Its nice to receive nice comments.
Both your finishes are beautiful. I love your SB sheep's hat. Congratulations
Barb- I love the sheep!! It's so adorable!!!
I'll give the skater a 9.5 - because it isn't "finished" yet! I am not a finisher, either. I just finished a PIF and just obsessed over it. I have a drawer full of stuff waiting for the finishing fairy to whisk it away! Congrats on the skater winning the championship!
I love your blog - you have lots of interesting stuff included. I'm with you on books. They used to be my passion and lately - not so much. For the first time that I can remember, I got 3/4 of the way through a book, it got boring and I just skimmed the rest and called it a night.
