I didn't have as many finishes as I would have liked. I had hoped to at least have Shores and Paradise Lost finished this year, but I went through that big slump in the summer and early fall. Here is my latest progress pic of Shores, which I worked on a little bit earlier this week...
And here's my little Frances Eden progress pic...
Not a whole lot stitched on it since the last pic. I'm seriously thinking of starting another big sampler for New Year's (I know, I've lost it)!
Elizabeth J M Mears 1833. I fell in love with this design after seeing Ellen's wip pic. Well, I hope you all have a very Happy New Year's. I plan to get settled on my couch and ring in the new year with my stitching (maybe even with Elizabeth)! :) Write soon!!
Happy New Year to you and your family, Nicole. I hope 2011 brings you lots of stitchy time.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about sleeping in your own bed - my parents have been visiting for 3 weeks now, and they have been sleeping in my bed, while DH & I share an air mattress - it's been wonderful having them visit, but I'm looking forward to having my own bed back!
Great 2010 finishes! I love them! I'm probably going to be starting Frances Eden tomorrow even though I said I wouldn't. :D Elizabeth is a temptation, I have to say. Happy New Year! I hear you on your own bed. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it home safely! All of your projects look great...hope you have a very productive year in 2011!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I know you were homesick. Love the collage and all your finishes--and I can't believe that you are a little disappointed there aren't more! I haven't finished kitting up Liz Mears, but I'm thinking of it, thanks to you and the link you provided.
ReplyDeleteNo you haven't lost it Nicole - the more projects the better, right?
ReplyDeleteLove all your finishes. Every time I see one of them, I want to add it to the list. You always pick the nicest ones and your pictures always do them justice! Love your collage!
I hope that you have a wonderful 2011!!
All your finishes are gorgeous! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finishes! I say go for the new sampler! You can never have too many projects on the go! lol~

ReplyDeleteYou will love Elizabeth Mears. Barbara Hudson of Queenstown is a member of our guild. She was working on the model during our retreat last August and was about the half way mark we couldn't believe how fast she finished it. It is an absolutely beautiful sampler.
Happy New Year, glad you are home safe and sound.

ReplyDeleteI think you have done some wonderful stitching this last year, Nicole!! We are always never satisfied with what we accomplish, are we?
ReplyDeleteNothing like home to make one feel 'whole' and relaxed, enjoy being in yours!
Happiest of New Year's Wishes coming your way for you and your family!
How did you like those record low temps in FL?! I was there for a few weeks (from Thanksgiving to Christmas) and only got down to capri pants about 3 days... rest of the time was spent bundled up like I was vacationing in the Arctic LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year :)
