More finished and a fun little thing!

             Finished stitching this piece last night and began to hunt for the perfect piece of fabric for another project -- a gorgeous Iris -- think I've found the perfect
color and will post that tomorrow.  It calls for both Anchor and DMC and when I received the Anchor threads I had to order I had a quick intake of breath as they are so beautiful.  I seem to be having a "mom" thing going on at the  moment as the Iris was one of her favorite flowers and I've been looking for just the right pattern for a long time.  Will show you tomorrow.

Little House "Hope" on 28 count. 2nd finish in this

series and saw that #3 is out so will have to do it!
I added cranberry beads to the snowflake and at
several points in the border to replace the cross stitch.

Also used "Whisper" for the sheep --still need to fluff her up
a bit.  Am really liking these.

The beads!

Saw this little fella at my fav antique place and my

first thought --- scissors!  Also I have a lovely frog
with scissors, had been wanted to change it and this seemed fun.

                                    I still have enough scissors left for my frog so
                               everyone's happy!
