Lose ends and a small finish

I have done a lot of hand work this week, and a lot of small stitches by hand.
I have enjoyed doing a lot of needleturn applique, and it is getting more and more fun, the more I do it.
Little did I expect to enjoy needleturn applique this much :-)

It has been cold outdoor, and nothing is better than hand sewing, a lit candle and gallons of hot tea (or coffee) :-)

Some of my friends have recently "outed" their Ufos and Wisps - not me, no, never!
Most of them are "hiding" behind my movable design wall though.
On my design wall are the Some Kind of Wonderful quilt in the making, and the blocks on row 2 (January and February) are ready to be joined :-)

This lovely stitchery I got from May Britt in my Advent calendar.
It has given me many good morning moments, and now it is done.
I have a plan for how to frame it, but that will not be done before autumn I guess.

It was time to give in to a new project, and I am doing it with a small group of lovely stitchers.
Grethe invited me, and I can not resist a good temptation every now and then :-)

As I am joining at a late moment, the others have already done the first block.
Please check Ulla's blog and her right sidebar if you want to check the other participants progress.

The little bear was happy to model for another preemie afghan done - this time the purple one.
Marianne could deliver them for me at the hospital.
Now - crochet break for a while.

 

It isn't what you have, or who you are,
or where you are, or what you are doing
that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
