Wow, I am at 211 followers right now. Thanks to Vicki having a Grow Your Blog Party. See earlier post. Also, my give a way doesn't end until Feb. 1. Check it out on my last weeks post and let me know if you would like to be entered in the give a way.
Yea, Yea and Yea, I finished Lilly-Nora Corbett design. It will be for my granddaughter, Anna's 13th Birthday on January 30. Also, finished my first ornament of 2013. Here are my pictures of the completed pieces and the WIP progress I worked on this past week. Also, pictured is the cubby organizer I got for Christmas. Diane at Littlehouse Needlework has been showing and talking about the cubby for a while and I fell in love with it. As you can tell, some of my cardinal collections will be displayed in it as well as some of my crossstitch. I am posting my cards that I am making for the 365 Card challenge and Christmas Card as I make them.
Lilly-Nora Corbett

The beading is hard to see but it really makes the piece stand out.
Before framing and after framing.
I am still learning to frame so it is not perfect, but it is me.
