Here is my progress on Paulette's Mary Sampler II.
Stitched on 28ct Navy Blue Meran using DMC threads. This SAL is coming to an end with the ninth part coming out next Sunday. I have to stitch fast to catch up ha ha!
Next is the HAL Vert D'eau hosted by Christine. Here is Christine's verison, gorgeous isn't it?
I chose to stitch this design on lilac 28ct Meran.
Sorry, the picture doesn't show the true color of the fabric, it is actually a beautiful soft lilac color. If you visit Christine's blog, you can see the gorgeous pouches finished by some of the participants. Sigh...I am behind again!
Work on Sara's SAL Sorpresa 3 is slow but steady. We are already at part 8 of this SAL and the winter scenery is coming along so beautifully.
More evergreens added..
A chair lift. I had a hard time laying the cable ha ha! It still looks wobbly?
I am also working steadily on Dorothy. The flowers band is huge but the flowers are so gorgeous.
Closer view of the flowers, beautiful aren't they? I enjoy stitching these flowers!
I am so happy to be able to show my first Teddy Bear made with the help of my friend Sonia. Thank you, Sonia.
More bears made by Sonia!
My friend is here from Japan. She brought me cookies and books on Reticello, Whiteworks and Stumpworks. Hope to show some projects from these books in my next post. Thank you, Joyce.
I will leave you with a picture of my unconventional Birthday Cake!
Thank you, friends for visiting my blog and taking the time to leave lovely comments!

Sorry for the late comment...getting updated! Wow, beautiful stitching on Dorothy. She's such a beauty. Gorgeous hardanger and the PSS SAL is so lovely on that dark blue. Cute teddies too!!
Ellen those bears are too cute. I thought you said you couldn't sew?
I think you did a fantastic sewing job on your bear.
Your PSS looks rather special on the blue fabric and you are making great progress on your SAL pieces.
Looking forward to seeing more of your lovely work in 2014.
Happy Christmas!
