Honeybee's April through July Finishes

Hello, everyone! We moved halfway across the country in April and I fell behind in this SAL, but I've caught up and have several finishes to share. Hope to be catching up on all your posts soon, too.

If you'd like info on my color changes, I've posted everything on my blog.

Hope everyone's having a great summer!

Honeybee's March Finish

Here's my March choice from the 2007 JCS Ornament issue. It's stitched on mystery 28 ct. pink even weave with GAST Rose Garden and Gold Leaf, and CC Weeping Willow. The beads are Mill Hill 2012.

Honeybee's February Finish

Hi, y'all! Here's my February choice from the 2008 JCS ornament issue. It's supposed to be a biscornu, but I'll be finishing it as a flat ornament.

It's stitched on 28 ct. olive mystery linen with Caron Wildflowers in Snow White and Mint, and embellished with 2mm pearl beads and a Swarovski crystal from Hobby Lobby.

Have a great holiday weekend, everyone!

Honeybee's January Finish

Hello, all! I'm new to the SAL this year but have been blogging about stitching for six years. I've chosen to stitch Theme #3, and this is my ornament from the 2009 JCS Ornament issue, "Peace 2009" by Sue Hillis. It's stitched on 28 ct. raw linen with Classic Colorworks Sweetest Heart and Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid Powder Pink PB 28. The beads are Mill Hill 3005.

I am really enjoying seeing everyone's finishes and am excited about this SAL. I hope I can keep up--we're moving in April!
