Gingerbread Cottage

Proudly presenting........





 
CCN "Gingerbread Cottage"
28ct Mushroom Lugana
Changes made.....
DMC 434 to 433
435 to 434
437 to 436
Apple Barrel Paint "Caramel Candy"

I only had enough room on the box top to stitch this part of the design.  I am so in love with this little Cottage!  It looks to me like a perfect place to live :)   My favorite "critic" gave me 2 thumbs up when she saw it and was beaming ear to ear!  I think Country Cottage designs are becoming my new favorite! I have plans to stitch a few more of Nikki's wonderful designs in 2013.

Unfortunately December has gotten off to a bad start for me!  Turns out I have a very nasty case of Bronchitis and the antibiotics are not helping (yet).  I'm feeling really, really sick and down :( 

I'll be back soon with my Ornament exchanges and other wonderful parcels that have arrived recently that I get to share with you all too. I'm behind in all my emails and blog reading but hope to catch up with most by this evening, please give me a bit more time to get back to you :)  I'm behind with everything!  LOL.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Beautiful stitching and finish! I now you'll enjoy using it. Hope you feel better soon. Bronchitis can really knock you out, so please don't overdo.

What a great finish! It looks wonderful.

I hope the bronchitis clears up soon. I've had a chest cold for three weeks (!), and my doctor gave me antibiotics to hopefully stave off bronchitis. I think it is going around. Rest, sleep, and stitch. Hopefully you will be better soon.
