The first picture is our Christmas tree that is out on our back deck .. I'm thinking about decorating it for the birds :) The second picture is a japanese maple in our front yard .. told you it wasn't much snow .. but I love it anyway :)
Thanks for the comments on the sampler I'm doing .. if you ever get a chance to take a class from Mary, do it .. she's a kick and a great designer! Maybe someday she'll release the chart .. I'm sure there would be lots of stitcher's interested in it :) She taught a Christmas ornament class at the same retreat .. I have pictures of the tree and wreath pieces in my Webshots album .. different colors, but fun designs. http://community.webshots.com/user/sassy_mom2
I stitched on the sampler last night .. finished F, G and H .. but I'm not happy with H .. I stitched it in the cream silk, and it's just too big of a letter to do in cream .. stands out too much .. so I think I'll make the "i" in cream, cause it's small and frog H and pick another color for it .. why is it that the entire time I was stitching H, I knew I didn't like it .. but I kept on stitching it anyway .. crazy crazy crazy!

you have just enough snow that it is pretty. love your sampler, wish I had taken the class.
No fair! I want some snow!! But, I still have hope that we will have a snow day this winter down here in the South. :-)
The ornaments are very pretty, and I enjoyed looking through all of your lovely finishes in your Webshots albums.
I bet you kept stitching it because you thought it would turn out looking nice with everything around it, even though you weren't liking it.
I'm havign a similar problem on mine, except I can't figure out what color to stitch the names. I'll end up doing them in different colors then picking what I like, frogging and redoing.
