Look at the cute, cute ornie that Jill stitched for me! I love sheep and have a small collection of them (seems I have a lot of collections, lol!) This ornament has been on my "stitch for me" list ever since the JCS 2006 ornament issue came out, and how lucky for me that Jill chose to stitch it up! I love the colors that she chose and how she used Whisper to make the sheep fuzzy...thank ewe Jill, it's perfect for me!

I've been doing lots of stitching and here is a small finish to share with you today...
Good Morning & Good Night freebies,by The Sampler Girl, found here
fabric: 28ct remnant, 1 over 1
fiber: WDW, Bethlehem
backI kind of goofed up the back side of the eyelet......I placed it too close to the corner where all the excess fabric is, so it didn't close up nice and tight (or neat.) But I figure, since it's for me~~I'll just replace the eyelet if it falls out ;)
And I keep forgetting, here's the link for The Useful Needle freebies. The Humble Home chart is on this page if you were looking for it. And I can't remember who asked about stitching with DMC 115~~but I always complete each stitch before moving on to the next. That's what I do with all of the variegated DMC's and the DMC Variations (and all other hand-dyed or over-dyed threads.)
Tonight, we're going to go to one of the free concerts in the park with a picnic dinner. I've already got dinner figured out, now I just need to figure out if I'm going to bring stitchin' or knittin'!!! Hope your week is going well. Thanks for all your nice comments and for stopping by :)

Staci - I just found your blog for the first time today. Love it! You have wonderful things posted and I wanted to thank you for the lovely tutorial on making floss rings -I definitely want to do some. Could you tell me where to find the colored rings? I have only seen the silver ones but the colored ones are so cute! Thanks.
I've had that same problem with the eyelets. I always have to remember to make the tag with enough space in the corner so I can avoid the extra layers. But it looks find just the same. I love that star-shaped eyelet. Where did you ever find that?
thanks for the link to The Useful Needle. Where do you find the little charms you add to your tags?
Love the ornament Jill made for you and what a cute pattern you finished! Enjoy your free concert and picnic Staci, sounds like a lovely time! :)

Hi Staci,
I love sheep too and this is darling :o) Thanks for the freebie link and WOW that floss tag is great.
Enjoy the concert. I wish we could go to more of those - I just get bitten alive - so many mosquitoes here and the bug spray only works so long on me. LOL
Enjoy!
