So after a long holiday break I'm back! I have decided to give round robins another try. I have signed up for a Mira RR with a good friend of mine. I am getting really excited! There is a great group of ladies in this one. I have finished my border & can't wait to mail it out!

After I finished my border I went back to Stargazer. She is looking great! I am enjoying working on her.

Exchanges & gifts have been received so I can now post my pics! Here's my ornament for the Buckeye Stitcher ornament exchange.
I gave Mom her stocking for her birthday. I made some changes to what was called for & I really like how it came out.

A head's up for any one interested. Enchanted Fabrics http://enchantedfabrics.yuku.com/
is having a New Year, New Start contest. If anyone is interested or would like more information just check the site out.

Scissor Fobs

I made some scissor fobs the other day. The are really adorable. I have some more beads I bought that I am going to use but not make them yet so if any one buys some I can personalize it with an initial charm.
This one (pink butterfly) I'm selling for $8.00 plus shipping.

This one (black & white hearts) is $10 + shipping & can be personalized for free.

These (black & blue hearts) are $10 as well. Personalized Charm can be added as well.

These turtles I thought were adorable!!! They are $12.00.

The green butterfly is $15.

If you would like to buy any of these just e-mail me at mgrutz at gmail dot com.

I have my ornament done but I can't post it yet as it's a surprise! I've been working on Mom's stocking which I hope to have finished at the beginning of next week. Just need to stitch the top of the hat & then attach the beads.It's Joan Elliot: Stardust Christmas.
Besides stitching on the stocking I've been working on some Christmas presents. Need to make some pillows & paint some pants.

She's finished!!! I got her finished before the deadline for the contest.

She is stitched on SMF Peach-Berry Cobbler 28ct linen. I subbed out the krenik for RG PTB. I stitched the skin over 1 (first attempt) & the moon with 2 strands of PTB.

Now onto my ornament for the Buckeye Stitcher ornament Exchange.

I have been working on ToT Fairy. I've been trying to finish her up by the 6th for a contest. I did her skin over 1 which is the first time I've attempted over 1. I am having a blast stitching her & hope to be done soon.

Hi everyone. I hadn't realized it had been so long since my last post. A lot has happened since then. First of all Hubby & I finally bought our first house!!! We are almost all moved in, just a few more boxes to unpack. I'll post pictures next week.

Hubby's car didn't pass e-check last week, so instead of fooling around with it we bought a new one. Pictures will also be posted next week.

The kids both like their schools. Junior is still at STEM & likes it. He joined Boy Scouts last week. He has had 1 meeting & really enjoyed it. They learned an into to archery. Maria started Miller South & is just loving it! I have never seen her this excited for school.

On to cross stitch. I've got more done on Stargazer. Just one more section till I finish the bottom of her dress.

I put Stargazer up to work on Trick or Treat Fairy. I put her into the Mira contest. My goal is to have her finished before Halloween.
After I finish ToT Fairy I have to make a Christmas ornament for the Buckeye Stitcher exchange.
