A FINISH.....

A Start....
Christmas Double Flip It - HOLLY by Lizzie KateStitched on 32 count Opalescent Lugana with DMC
I finally got the fabric for the Double Flip it with the gift certificate I got for my birthday. Again I made a change in the color used for the border. The outside border is charted to be done in white but since I'm using white fabric I knew it would show up and thought the red would work well. I saw this being stitched while at the LNS a few months ago and really liked the way the colors just POP on the white fabric so decided that was what I wanted too. I got all this done on Saturday (between naps) so shouldn't take long to get it finished. It will be finished as a bell pull.
Early Valentine Gift....
When I got up Sunday morning I found this adorable froggie sitting in my chair with the box of one of my favorite candies. Tracy said he wanted to get my gift early so I could enjoy him longer. Isn't he just the cutest and now is sitting next to the froggie I got last year.
Seasonal Shelf....
The shelf isn't complete yet. I still have one more stitched piece to finish but wanted to share what it looks like so far. Most of the items on the shelf are from exchanges and RAK's I've received.
We had some really nice rain over the weekend and more is expected today and tomorrow. Sure makes for good stitching.
Until Next Time with a Monopoly Update....Happy Stitching

Great update Rene, everything looks great. I did get a shelf back up in my 1/2 bath, but no seasonal stuff. I am going to do a couple biscornus in a crystal bowl, in black and white.
Looks great Rene. Love the froggie. Your dh is definitely a keeper.
Your finish turned out great! I love the froggie, he is so cute. Your shelf looks good too.
Rene, Beautiful work. What a great idea, a seasonal shelf. I have seen you write about it on the group, but I had not seen pictures yet. It is lovely.

Lovely finish Rene. Holly does really pop on the white fabric, it looks great. Once again your DH is leading the way and setting an example to all men! What cute gifts. I love your february shelf, the heart banners are so fab, they compliment your stitching perfectly!
I love your shelf, I had never thought of doing something like that before. When I have more time I think I may have tyo take inspiration from you. The needleroll is lovely, I think you made the right choice with changing the colours.
