A couple finishes

I am so excited to be back here on my original blog! I was able to recover that email that is hooked up to this blog. I hadnt been able to check emails on that account and was pretty sure there was going to be hundreds of emails! But nope! So enough of that! Lets get to those two finishes.

Rest Thy Scissors by Notforgotten Farm. I did Stitch Maynia in May and started two designs and as soon as May was over, I started this piece. I wanted it in the black box like the model..

I bought the box at their etsy shop. Here's how it looks..

My next finish is a long time WIP..Feliz Navidad, found in the Christmas ornies preview issue of JCS of July/Aug 2012..

Stitched on crystal Phoenix by PTP. I will never stitch on the sparkly fabric again! It was too much for my eyes. It turned out nice. It says Feliz Navidad and has musical notes scattered about. Here's how the model looks..

Be sure to click on pictures. Thats about as big as I can get them. So I missed doing the WIP challenge with Jo from Serendipitous Stitcher for Summer Solstice and lo and behold, it was Sunday! I tbought it was the last day of the month! Sorry Jo if you read tbis! That being said, I'm happily back to WIPs. So Arizona has been on fire since last week. It's been a severe drought and there are several wildland fires in northern and central AZ. We also had a heatwave last week where here we hit 105 degrees one day. We never got below 100 for 6 or 7 days. It was horrible. Then a storm came through with hardly any rain but plenty of lightning, hence the fires. No relief in sight until our monsoon starts up. We're crossing our fingers! This is it! Glad to be back!

I think I'm back!!

Testing, testing. Due to having to buy a new phone and recovering the email account associated with this blog,it's looking like I can post fron here again! I'm going to hit publish and see what happens! Wish me luck!
