Another trip around the sun, 2022 was a good year, hoping for more good in 2023.
I made a final run to Good Will to donate clothes, they really didn’t want them. Is it the time of year, or are they just indicated in general. Anyway, I took a look in the store and look what I found! No, I didn’t buy anything, just took pictures. Someone wasn’t happy with this, although I think they may have removed some of the items and just left the bear.
I always look at picture frames, as possible uses for my cross-stitch, I still have some unused frames, and for $20 didn’t want to buy this. I’m wondering if one of these days this is where my work will end up as well. this is needlepoint, actually quite nicely done.
Done in wool and very nice French knots on the flowers. I understand, peoples tastes change. Maybe some hipster will come in and it will remind them of Grandma and they’ll buy this.
Although this looks handmade, I’m not sure it is, and I couldn’t justify the frame.
Pretty sure this is 100% made in China. To be honest, nothing about this appeals to me, so it stayed.
I thought I had created a post about my newest Cross-stitch, but I can’t find it. This plate is the color inspiration for my latest. Since most of the colors here subdued, sort of like my latest Basket cross-stitch, I went with the basic color them, but am using much brighter colors. As you can see in the pinks and purples.
I got a few puzzles for Hanukkah, and I just can’t bring myself to do them, since I find doing cross-stitch is like doing a puzzle, but with fabric and thread.
Almost at the halfway point and I realize that this chart is by the designer of Long Dog samplers. I did make her Quakers and have a few more of her patterns.
Love the Cardinals. Also, I bought a new memory card for my good camera, is it just me, or does this image look better and clearer?
Anyway, on to another good year, with plenty to share.
