A couple of finishes

 Yes you read that right.  I finally managed to get back into the stitching mode and had a couple of small finishes today.  So, of course, I wanted to share with you.

   The first finish was for my December block Exchange.  I started it with one design but didn't like how it was coming along so it is set aside and I went back to a favorite of mine...the Noel redwork block.    I don't think I ever get tired of doing the Noel bock.  


   The next thing that I finished was another Words of Wisdom block.  This time it was the Integrity block.  I only have one more block left before I need to figure out how I want to put it all together.



Did I show you my latest progress on my blackwork?  Here it is.  I'm getting into the home stretch and I can't wait.  


   I just noticed that I haven't posted a couple of other pix that I don't think I have posted.  This is sort of hard to see but it is my pix of me trying my hand a Kumihimo braiding.  I have to get some end caps before I can finish it  but it is a start.  Wish me luck.  I will need to get the end caps as I mentioned but I also need to get some jewelry pliers to close the end caps etc.  Slow progress but I think I like it.



This next picture is some of my redwork from years past.  I will reduce it  to 9 blocks so that I have a more realistic chance of finishing it.


This picture is my block from my October partner.  I love how it looks.  :)



  That is it for this trip.  I hope to be able to post more often but with the holidays...no promises.  :)  If I don't post before Thanksgiving, please enjoy it with your family and friends.

What to work on Next

    I finished the owl and it will be sent off to my friend Susan as soon as I get my stamps.  I had forgotten to get some for the season so...
