I stitched "Good Tidings" by The Sampler Girl from the JCS 2011 Ornament Issue. This seems to be a very popular pattern this year! I stitched it on 28ct DMC linen with the DMC & WDW threads called for. I made the bow for it and added on some jingle bells which Angela says her cat likes LOL She had to put it where her cat couldn't get to it. I also added a holly button because I thought it needed something there. I am very happy Anglea loves what I made for her :)
I also heard from Lucie that she received the pin pillow I made for her in the Seasonal Exchange Autumn Round. I stitched this design for her by Manka Minta. It is a freebie but when I went to post a link to you here it now say's the blog is open to invited readers only hmmmm. She must have just changed that. Oh well! I stitched it on 28ct DMC linen with the DMC colors called for. I am so happy Lucie liked what I sent to her!
Thank you all for your well wishes! I am finally feeling back to normal. I guess I had some kind of bug.
I hope all my friends in the USA had a nice Thanksgiving! Every year I say I am not going to eat too much and I do anyway lol My desserts went over well and I even got a text message from my BIL on Friday saying that my Blueberry Crumb Pie was the BEST he has ever eaten! So that made me happy! I told him I will make it again sometime and he said GREAT ! :) My MIL said she loved the Harvest Pumpkin Bars and asked for the recipe as she is going to make it for her Mahjong Group.
DH & I (mostly DH lol) worked on putting the Christmas Tree up yesterday. Now it just has to be decorated. I figure I will work on that a little today and tomorrow. I can't wait to see all of the wonderful stitchy ornaments I have received this year and from previous years on there! They are almost outweighing the Disney ornaments from my Mom that I have :) Good thing it is a 9ft tree and I have room. I think the tree is taking on a new theme!
Thank you all so much for stopping by and for all of your wonderful comments!
Hey! I just realized I have 100 followers!! I think it may be time for a giveaway! Stay tuned!
Have a great weekend!

The pillow you made with The Sampler Girl design is adorable. The bell is a lovely touch.
What a shame Manka Minta has made her blog 'invited readers only' - I do love a good freebie!
I'm so pleased you had a lovely Thanksgiving. I wish we celebrated something similar here in the UK - any excuse for a family get-together!
Gorgeous finishes Lisa, I'm glad you are feeling better.
Hugs
I love Good tidings.
I love how you finished Good Tidings. I'm seeing so many gorgeous Christmas finishes on blogs and getting rather enabled!
The Autumn piece you stitched for Lucie.
