A surprise post....

I had some stitching friends over for a day of stitching, coffee and just plain fun today. And was so happy that The Maiden was able to join us after she finished work as she now works a hop skip and a jump away!!!! Well maybe a 5 minute car ride in reality but as always it was a pleasure to connect with her. We've had many impromptu stitching days in the past and so it was great fun!!!! The best part was that she brought her finished Mermaids of the Deep Blue along! We did this as a SAL starting in November and finished them in about 2 months time of dedicated stitching !!! May I present the finished products ......my fabric is a bit washed out from the camera flash. Its great to see them side by side. I love her fabric and her stitching is just gorgeous! The Maiden has warned me that stitching mermaids can become obsessive and to be careful but I do think I have thrown caution to the wind as in my head Deepest Love  will be next after Bluebeard's Princess......I'll soon have a school of mermaids !!!!!!!

My finish list for 2012

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Year's!!!!! Happy Holidays for everyone!!!!!!!!

And now I'm presenting my 2012 finish list........

1.Holly by Mirabilia
2.Miss Valentine by Mirabilia
3.Quaker Faith Hope and Love
4.Angels Dwell Here
5.Quaker Gone Tropic

7.Thriller
8.Salem Remembered
9.Nora's Alphabet
10.Dog Lessons by Lizzie Kate
11.Pumpkin Crow
12.Thanksgiving Fairy by Mirabilia
13.Christmas Elf

Tada there it is......A bit ambitious but definitely doable.... Some are near finished and some have lots to go. Just making the list made me feel better!!! And this is before I heard about Measi's Musings WIPocalypse from The Maiden.....I must go check her blog out and join in the fun!!!!! The list was longer but I must be realistic even though 13 sounds like a lot!!!!!
Off to stitch a bit before the festivities begin later !!!!!
