A Frame, A Finish-finish and a New Start!

Hello! I've actually been getting a little stitching done lately - woohoo! First up, Sunflower Inn all framed up - I love it! Right now it's sitting on the sideboard in our dining room but hopefully it will be hung soon!

Second, within a couple weeks (not too fast, but at least I got it done in time for this Fall!) I stitched and finished this freebie by The Stitcherhood.

Autumn (Freebie)
The Stitcherhood
piece of leftover linen I coffee died and threads I had around
I also added the leaf buttons I found in a craft store
Last, I started Red House in Winter by Little House Needleworks. I love this pattern and the houses in these ornaments remind me of the houses on the street we live. I am using a 32 count linen (I can't remember the name of it) rather than the recommended 30 so the ornament will be a little smaller than the model. I just like 32 count better to stitch on. I am using all the called for thread except for the Crecent Color Bing Cherry. My LHN didn't have that so I chose The Gentle Art's Current (0312) instead.
I have quite a few of these ornament patterns so I'll probably be working on them for the remainder of the year. I also have 6 ornaments (from various designers) that I need to finish-finish. I hope to start some of the finishing next week.
That's it for now. Thanks for visiting and inspiring me always!!!
