SoCal Debbie UCJC Start #42

This little piece from Little House Needleworks is one of my favorites. It reminds me so much of my dear MIL, she loved birds and cardinals were her favorite. Such a dear lady I miss her terribly.

CJC 2014 - Project #15 Winter Greens

My final CJC 2014 start is Winter Greens from Little House Needleworks "All Dolled Up" collection. So happy to reach my last start, I am only 5 days behind. I plan to get lots of stitching done during the Olympics. This should do it for me, until I finish a few pieces no new starts and my poor little cross stitch basket is overflowing.

CJC 2014 - Project #14 Cozy Inn

Another Little House Needleworks start for 2014. This is Cozy Inn form the Just Cross Stitch 2013 Christmas ornament magazine. I am truly hoping to have lots of handmade ornaments for my tree this year or at least for gifts. I have a new sewing machine so I have no excuses for not getting ornament completed this year.

CJC 2014 - Project #13 Winter Samper

Project #13 of my CJC 2014 list is Little House Needleworks, Winter Sampler. I found this pattern in my December 2009 Just Cross Stitch Christmas magazine. I am stitching it on coffee dyed Monaco that I dyed myself, that was a fun experiment. The fabric is actually much darker than the picture shows.   I dyed anther piece a nice shade of rose using herbal tea.

CJC 2014 - Project #6 Joy and Peace

Here is my 6th CJC 2014 start, even though I started this a while back I decided to add to my list. Recently I joined a Little House Needleworks SAL. I plan to stitch many LHN projects this year, I chose Joy and Peace first. This will make a great gift for someone's tree in December. Never to early to start thinking about Christmas.
