Abbie fixed my broken fob!

Oh, I was so sad the day my scissor fob (given to me by a very special lady I met online) broke and beads scattered everywhere. I knew I was clueless about how to repair it but I always hoped it would one day be made whole. I saved it in an altoid tin - out of sight but not forgotten.

Abbie-Iowa on the 123Stitch! message board offered to take a look at it for me.

I can not describe my joy when this arrived in my mail today

I will think of Abbie whenever I am stitching and be so grateful to her for rescuing my treasure

TUSAL 2011_01

Here is my first picture of my ort jar for 2011.

I started saving my orts several months ago.

Maybe this isn't as easy as it I thought it would be ☺

Kay in PA (on the 123Stitch message board) posted a picture of her Christmas Cardinal and then shared a link to the newsletter that offered it as a free chart. I couldn't wait to start stitching it and I am happy to announce that it is done.

Waxing Moon Designs Primitive Stocking

Rhonda on the 123 Stitch message board sent me this chart after I admired the stitching she did for 3 of her friends. I didn't include the words "Merry Christmas" in this finish but I am under a push to get it finished as an ornament of some kind before Christmas. Perhaps the next time I stitch it I will stitch the words, too.
