Look What I Found

I was looking for some elastic for Arttie to use for masks when I came across my first cross stitch piece.  Please don't ask for the designer, that information is no longer available.  It was on Aida cloth and DMC.  Never framed it because, I didn't have enough fabric at the top border to frame it in 1982.  It will just live in the box I found it in. 

I just finished my April ornament for the Stitching Bee Ornament challenge.  It is the fourth from Prairie Schooler Snowy Nights.  Very quick and fun.  Took me two days.  I don't spend enough time stitching.  

So call me a liar, saying I don't stitch enough.  I also finished Jane Marshall from HATS.  I just love how this turned out.  I have to see if I have a frame that it will fit in. 

I worked in my intials and the year I did this in a open spot over one.  I though it fit in there pretty good. 

Now just trying to figure out what to do next.  I could go back to Sarah Braizear, start the Chocolate Bunny from the last edition of Punchneedle and Prim Stitching magazine or a freebie I got with an order from Shakespeare's Peddler, a Majorie Massey that was really cute and would make a great needlebook.  Such decision's.  I have a bazillion other things I would like to start especially since I watch some floss tube.  

Hope you are healthy and safe.  Keep practicing social distancing, hand hygiene and don't touch your face.  Believe me, it is very difficult to practice social distancing in the grocery store.  Just how long does it take to pick out a can of beans?
