First Finish of 2012

Doing a very happy dance ... I finished Home of a Needleworker last night and I'm so pleased with how it turned out! Can't wait to get this puppy framed ... now I want to get started on the first Home of a Needleworker ...
Home of a Needleworker (too!) by Little House Needleworks
stitched on 32 ct Very Light Examplar linen
using suggested Crescent Colours threads

I've had the crud this week ... not fun at all, my poor nose feels like it's going to fall off :( but I have been stitching and just being lazy, well other than work. I've been seeing lots of first finishes for 2012 on everyone's blogs. I'm hoping to have another finish before the end of the month. I pulled out Earth Laughs by MDesigns. There's only one more flower and some border left to stitch.

I hope you find your Joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for finishing a wip ...

Love your finish! I started this in December but have been stuck on the house for awhile. This will motivate me to move it along and get mine finished too.

Enjoy your sick days if you can!
