More finishes

I made this bracelet, it is a kit from the Bead Merchant, it is mainly stitched in Herringbone stitch even the blackberries I have a necklace that I made a few years ago which also has berries on.I have completed another two of the LHN monthly releases he,s a flake is below I changed the colour of his scarf and the tree pot it looks brighter now.
The Red Christmas House was a quick stitch I have completed 4 now not quite sure how I am going to finish them yet, I might make them into a wall hanging.
We are away at the coast, at the moment we are sat on North Bay at Scarborough the tide is in and it is like a mill pond, it is 21.5 C which is warm enough for me, we have just had some bacon sandwiches for lunch from a great cafe on the beach front called Oasis. we are sat just watching the world go by and I will be getting my stitching out soon.

HOE LHN Exchange from a Stitching Angel

I am back from my holiday in Italy I have as yet to look at our photos so that I can share some with you we had a great time even if Hubby did get blisters the day we went to Rome!! I would definitely go to Italy again.
While we were away this is what I stitched in my spare moments when we were travelling around, I have also bought the pin cushion bed so all I need do now is make it up.
This is the 2nd ornament in the LHN Monthly ornament series I need to put the beads on yet. I have nearly completed the 3rd one.
I took part in the HOE LHN Exchange but unfortunately my partner did not complete the Exchange so Carol was kind enough to find a Stitching Angle to complete my Exchange her name was Melissa Cahill from the USA, she has made me a Tin finish which is beautiful the inside is covered in magnetic strip, I also received some goodies from both Carol and Melissa. I found this Exchange in the post when I came home from Holiday so it was a lovely surprise.

HOE LHN

I took part in HOE Little House Needlework Exchange I had Linda as my partner who lives in Singapore.
I decided to make her a needle case I used the top of the chart from LHN Winter berries.

I also decided to make Linda a Thread Tag using small motifs from the pattern.
