Noni's Pumpkin Man now has a friend!

I was really struggling this month to choose a design for the Hallowe'en Ornie SAL, but then I saw the very "sweet" Pumpkin Man stitched by my dear friend, Noni, and I was hooked.

So, may I introduce you to a second Pumpkin Man?

I am quite taken with him, thanks again, Noni, for the inspiration.

Pumpkin Man... my first PS!

Hi there!

Well after months of umming and aahing and ooing over all the gorgeous Prairie Schooler designs that I see around blogland and on our very own blog... I finally did it!  I stitched a Prairie Schooler design :o)

Let me present to you - "Pumpkin Man".

This design was published in the Halloween 2015 issue of Just Cross Stitch, and I have used the delightful Pumpkin Man as my February stitch on the Halloween Ornie Blog.

I may be late to the PS party... but now I am on a roll!  I am about to start "Winter's Eve" so I will be back in a couple of weeks to show you my next PS finish (I hope!).

Till next time, happy Prairie Schooler stitching
Hugs xx

Deck the Halls .....

Hello fellow PS students,  

Here is my latest PS finish (which I double-dipped and stitched for the Christmas Ornie SAL as well - this month's theme was Music)

Deck the Halls by Prairie Schooler, Book #81

32 ct Willow Linen, DMC threads.

I am really thrilled with the green floss on the willow green linen - it has worked really well.

 However, in the spirit of full disclosure, I have made at least two errors. I wonder if you can spot them? 

Uh oh!  Big Ooops! The lovely Carol has pointed out a third error - I forgot Santa's belt!  See the photos below for the finally finished version! Thanks, Carol!

Hugs, Kaye

P.S. Everyone has been lovely and said that they can't see the errors but there are two - top right corner and bottom right corner.

I stitched this one from the "January" leaflet for a One Day Wonder challenge at the 123 MB.  It was a fun stitch and reminded me of all the sledding we neighborhood kids did during my childhood.  We had a lot of fun!

Winter Foursome

Hello blogging friends,

Kaye reminded me that I hadn't shown my latest Prairie Schooler finish here. It is one of the seasonal foursomes, Winter Foursome. It was a lovely stitch but as usual took longer than I thought it would take :)

You can find the pattern in the PS book 133 Winter Wind.

Enjoy your stitching,
Brigitte

The raven quoth "Nevermore" ....

A spooky hello to you all, here is my January Winged Creature for the Hallowe'en Ornie SAL, and it is a Finished Finish - double yay! - my first for the year. (Of course, me being me, I made sure I used a Prairie Schooler pattern.)

I made it up into a simple soft ornie.

I was lucky enough to find the perfect backing fabbie in my stash.

A very quick, enjoyable stitch.

Pipers

Music is this month's theme for a Christmas ornament sal I'm in so I chose the Piper from the 12 Days of Christmas leaflet.  I'm thinking of stitching all of the "days" separately to either make ornaments or little pieces to tuck in my cubby I bought from Pottery Barn.
