Fabulous Christmas ornies you made!...Hello Jeanne,<br /><br />Fabulous Christmas ornies you made! The stockings are really cute! I stitched that Victorian Sampler one from the JCS and just substituted the buttons for beads, made it into a foam core ornie and I think I had most of the threads. I just used a similar colour for those one stitches. But I agree with you about being annoyed kitting this one!<br /><br />Your sampler is really beautiful but sorry to hear it's causing you eye strain :( Nothing like some stash to cheer you up though!! Lovely new fabbys!!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15102636394805433263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25707685.post-26570401613784956212012-06-30T19:02:34.615-07:002012-06-30T19:02:34.615-07:00I am riding that worry train with you and it stink...I am riding that worry train with you and it stinks. I hope all turns out okay for you (and me).<br /><br />You did a fantastic job on those stockings. Although it is more time consuming I prefer stitching the cording on.<br /><br />American Sampler is truly beautiful and worth all of that hard work!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158551238078705372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25707685.post-82237265190039231872012-06-29T04:51:05.041-07:002012-06-29T04:51:05.041-07:00Your ornaments are beautiful and I love how your A...Your ornaments are beautiful and I love how your American Sampler is looking.<br /><br />Nice new stash :)Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883231391662433334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25707685.post-59017499779262823482012-06-29T04:23:13.557-07:002012-06-29T04:23:13.557-07:00Your ornaments are so pretty, and Amercian Sampler...Your ornaments are so pretty, and Amercian Sampler is gorgeous.

And your stockings are fantastic--haven't gotten up my nerve to try one myself. Am too scared of the finishing :)<br /><br />Sure hope your worries ease a bit very soon. I'm feeling the same way lately and just can't post when I'm not in the right mood. Hopefully, I'll get one more post in before the end of the month!! I do hope your stitching gives you some relaxation and stress-relief...Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25707685.post-49135678646658033372012-06-27T03:13:52.151-07:002012-06-27T03:13:52.151-07:00Beautiful stitching!!

I have a huge stack of ornaments to do, too--honestly, I could stitch ornaments for the next two years and still have more that I want to do. I hate it when the embellishments are super pricey, though.<br /><br />I hope things get better. I can certainly understand the worrying = blogging slump. The same happens to me.

Lovely!<br />Love the linen you got as well, and your patterns will be so fun.<br /><br />Your sampler is coming along beautifully! I don't know how you are managing the weaving section. I think I would be blind! The effect is really nice, and your half way there.<br /><br />Hope things get better in your personal life. I certainly know what it's like to go through a blogging slump. <br /><br />Take Care.Lorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099740341363729893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25707685.post-46590120542058499582012-06-26T06:54:21.009-07:002012-06-26T06:54:21.009-07:00Great post!

I don't know if you have a Hobby Lobby store in your area but I found the jumbo bottle caps in the scrapbooking aisle worked great in place of the tart tins.

Love that American Sampler - it's coming along well. I would love to stitch a Victoria Sampler design - there are a few that I really like - but the thread/accessory packs here in the U.K. are so expensive that it puts me off. You've got some great stash too.
