Realising it is the last day of November today has made me get myself organised and post twice in one day - wonders will never cease!! After I finished the ornament for my SSCS exchange, I picked out one of Little House Needleworks ornaments to stitch up for myself. Snow in Love is a cute design, and only took a couple of evenings to stitch up, and I finished it into a little pillow this afternoon.
Snow in Love by Little House Needleworks
Stitched on 30ct WDW Cocoa Linen with DMC and Crescent Colours
After seeing all of the fabulous zipper pouches Susan over at Thimblestitch had been making, I got brave and had a go with some cute bicycle fabric. Susan had used and recommended a tutorial at Noodlehead, and I found it very simple, not at all as scary as I thought putting in a zip would be! Thanks Susan for the inspiration and to Anna/Noodlehead for the fantastic tutorial.
Can you believe it? Four OPAM finishes this month for me, almost a record!! Well then, it is the 1st of December tomorrow, and the silly season will be well and truly upon us.......
Until next time....... thanks so much for visiting with me today ............ Nicky
