Fidishes

Due to the fact that I'm suffering from a severe case of sneezles, wheezles and freezles, I will keep this post short and hopefully sweet. But I couldn't let another day go by without showing you my most recent finishes:


The Harvesters, by Little House Needleworks. The pumpkins were stitched using part of my Halloween Floss Tag Ring Tag Ring* Exchange from Harmien, i.e. Belle Soie Pumpkin Carriage.


And second, the Fremme Pincushion.



I don't know why I felt the urge to add that knotted stringy thingy to the upper right corner, but once it was finished, I discovered it was rather useful, because now I can use this pincushion as a floss tag ring tag ring tag tag. In fact, it's already in use, because after two finishes comes - you've guessed it - a start. I've chosen Fruitful Clusters by the Goode Huswife as part of my plan to adorn my future house's walls with samplers of all shapes and sizes. Pictures? Next time.
I will now only add Aaaaaaaaaatcheeeeoooooooo.


*) I never really know what these thing are called, floss tag rings or ring tag flosses or floss ring tags, but you know the sort of things I'm talking about.

Annemarie,

I hope your sneezing and sniffling are soon a thing of the past.

Beautiful finishes! I love The Harvesters piece. That acorn border sets the whole piece off just perfectly. Congratulations!

Oh you poor dear! I hope the cold will leave you alone very soon. We've had some sneezles and wheezles around here, too.

Your finishes are an absolute delight! :D

Of course, your latest finish has pumpkins in it. What else would it have?? Cute, cute, cute.

Fremme is nice, too! Great colors!

In "Winnie the Pooh," Christopher Robin had the sneezles, but when he "got up in the morning, the sneezles had vanished away." Hope yours do the same.

Heidi said...

Gezondheid! Is it your fault that I have been sneezing??? I think I allergic to something right now but blaming you sounds fun to me. LOL! I love both of your finishes. You are on a roll lately. How are things in the RR neighborhoods? Should I duck when I ask that? LOL!

Hugs en groetjes ~
