Hello Friends, Family and Fellow Stitchers.....
I'm sorry that I haven't been around much lately, things are stressful for me right now and my heart just isn't into this whole blogging thing :( Nothing is wrong, I'm just feeling very, very, very "blah"! LOL. My creative juices are on "standby" and my needles are not stitching very fast! But I do have something to share with you all!
It's time again to share my yearly private exchange with Lisa V. Lisa and I have exchanged a different theme for the past few years and this time around it was Bent Creek Designs. This is what I sent to Lisa.......
Bent Creek "Signs of Winter"
28ct. Mushroom EW
DMC floss
Finished as a flatfold
I had an incredibly difficult time choosing a design to stitch! I originally started this one, then hated the colors and switched to another design but I hated the colors of that one even more. I came back to this one and played around with the colors a bit to find some that I liked. I think it turned out pretty cute and I'm happy that Lisa liked it too :)
Lizzie*Kate Tiny Tidings 15
28ct Bone Jobelan
Floss as charted
Finished as a flat ornament
It was also Lisa's round in our Ornament Swap group so I added that one into the parcel too. I wanted to stitch something a bit different this time around from other ornaments I have sent and I loved this reindeer!
I also finished my private exchange piece with Mouse and it's on it's way across the ocean to her and should arrive any day now! I'm onto some Autumn stitching now and I might just sneak something in there for a giveaway soon! I am behind on answering my emails and visiting your blogs so please forgive me....I hope to get caught up soon. Thank you so much for stopping by today.

I love that Bent Creek design! Your finish looks beautiful!! :)
Congrats and have a great week!
I've done Signs of Winter myself - I framed mine - wish I had finished it your way now!
Good job on getting all those exchange pieces out!
Signs of Winter is adorable - whatever you weren't so crazy about, I have no idea because I think it's great. The reindeer is a fun finish, too. Lucky Lisa!
Nice job on both your stitching pieces. I especially like the Bent Creek piece. Well-done. :) Cathryn
Love them both - esp the first one. Soo cute. x
Signs of Winter is super-adorable! I love the snowman hanging on for dear life!! And I love the way you finished it.
Both finishes are gorgeous.
Love both of these finishes, but especially the snowman and penguins one!! That design is adorable! You always have great finishes!
Love both of your finishes! Happy stitching......
Really lovely Angela - sending you a hug xx
Both designs are lovely especially the reindeer, it really has an 'alive'ness (if that makes sense) about it !!
Super cute exchange pieces you sent Lisa
Well your stitching hasn't suffered any! Both adorable :o)
((((HUGS)))) to you Angela.
I keep searching for a site with good finishing instructions for Flat Folds . . any suggestions? I LOVE the way you finished your Snowman.
Angela, Sorry you are feeling 'blah'. Hope things will improve to boost your spirits. Your stitching and finishing is so wonderful. You picked a winner with the design you stitched. So cute!
Very lovely projects Angela. It is understandable about the blogging. Sometimes it is best to take a break for a while since it tends to feel like a chore when you do it too much.
Hope your mojo comes back strong soon. :)

Lovely exchange pieces!
It's normal to have blah moments and to put down our needle every now and then. I know I've certainly done that as life gets hectic or I need a break. Hugs to you!
They are both adorable, Angela! The colors you ended up using for the Bent Creek are perfect :)
Both designs are so cute but that snowman is calling to me! I always love seeing your finishes.
I hope some of your stress eases soon and that you feel better soon.
What cute pieces. they are adorable.
Those are just lovely Angela xx
Very nice exchange pieces, both given and received:))
Hope the blahs go away! They are no fun.
Great finishes - they are both so cute!
Wonderful stitching. Hope the 'blahs' go away very soon. I think I'm just about getting over mine!
