Final TUSAL for 2012

Well, this is it... a few days late for the final TUSAL of 2012.  Wow I've completed my second full year of this quirky, fun SAL.

Here's my ort jar for December.  I apologize about the blow out on the white for the ornament, but I don't feel like taking another picture.

PhotoHunt - Bells

This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Bells"

This photo was taken in Santo Domingo, the capitol of the Dominican Republic.  I came across these old church bells in the colonial section of the city.

PhotoHunt - Zesty

I had trouble with this week's theme of "zesty" of course the first thing that comes to mind is food, or zest from a lemon.  But that was too "normal", you all know I don't do normal.

It doesn't matter where you go in the world or what their situation is, children have a zest for life!

First Ornament Exchange Received - On My End

Well all of my ornament/Christmas exchanges made their way into the mail today and they are whipping their way at a snail's pace (cause Canada Post is s-l-o-w) south of the border.  Two are individual exchanges set up with McKenna and Shannon through their blogs, the third is through a Facebook group I belong to.

Today I received the first of the exchanges heading my way.  This one is from Steph from my Facebook group, it came all the way from England!  Its just lovely, the fabric is sparklie and the chocolates... well they're long gone!

So hopefully in a week or so I'll have three reveals for you!  Finally!

Today I put a beaded ribbon edge on my last little pillow ornament.  So I need to do another assembly line of ornament finishing!  Probably this weekend!!!

JBW French Country Hearts 1 & 2 Finished

I've spent the last two nights working away on those little "pillows" I showed you on my last post.  I've been busy putting a beaded ribbon edge on them all.  Not really all that time consuming, but when you've got six of them to do, its gets a little repetitive!

So here's my efforts over the last two evenings...

I still have more ornament finishing to do this weekend!

Found Some Finishative!

Today I found my finishative!  Well I had to find it since I had three exchanges going out in the mail this upcoming week and only one of the three were finished, finished!  Of course I can't show you the three but I do have a few things I can show you!  Cause that would be just mean for me to tell you I've done some finishing and have nothing to show!

Besides my two ornaments I did the finishing on Lizzie Kate's "Good Things".  The background is the fabric its finished with on the back.  Its now hanging up on my wall next to my "Don't Bug Me I'm Stitching"!  Both are next to my stitching chair.

I have also turned a whole bunch of stitched ornaments, seven to be exact into little pillows.  During the week I'll put cord or beaded ribbon edges on them.  I still have more stitched ornaments to finish and they'll get done in the next few weeks.

PhotoHunt - Stellar

Hey are you surprised to actually get a post out of me on December 1st?  This week's theme is "Stellar"

OMG Madonna puts on a STELLAR show!  Near the end she sang "Like A Prayer" it was amazing and gave me chills!
