You have such a great eye for colors and coordination and I love how you stray from the pattern and make it your own - always with great success. I loved your LHN Tree Lot ornament so much that I ordered the pattern and black fabric. I would love to know what color substitutions you made with the thread to get the colors to pop so nicely. Would you share? Thanks in advance - Kelly PS Happy New Year and a belated Congrats on your retirement!Kelly K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10607954332644826513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-60453495176757628872017-12-13T20:44:24.547-05:002017-12-13T20:44:24.547-05:00You're pieces are, as always, truly amazing, C...You're pieces are, as always, truly amazing, Care!

Love your ornaments and vacation pictures. It’s too bad the weather didn’t cooperate with you! We visited Hawaii (Oahu and Big Island) just over two years ago - it was lovely and we enjoyed it, but there are several other places I’d go before returning there, especially after the killer flight home! Hope you’re finding some time to rest after all the travel and activities! I hear tomorrow is going to be our first real snow, so I have my stitching and quilting ready! Hope you have a great weekend! Oh, and if you haven’t done the drawing for the pattern, I’d be interested too. I know I wouldn’t get to it soon, but I do think it would be fun to stitch.

I would love to take a hike above the clouds and the sunset photos are amazing. It's a shame the weather wasn't as desirable as you wished for but you had a few great days and took full advantage of them. <br />I was recently asking RJ if she thought the Tree Farm stitch would look good on black and here you have done it and it looks fabulous!! I have never stitched on black and have been itching to try it. Love your finishing on it as well. Hope your enjoying getting ready for Christmas after your busy Thanksgiving holiday.

Here in the PNW we don't get white christmases very often :( I'm sorry your trip to Hawaii was filled with poor weather, but glad you still got to enjoy yourself. <br /><br />I do love the quintet of Clauses, the wizardly one being my favorite.

My nephews havbe been dozens of times as their maternal grandmother has a condo there. But weather is everything for a short vacation. Your finishes are amazing Carol. I wasn't sure what I thought of The Tree Lot, then I saw your finish and was totally charmed. Being a Blue Girl, French Country Snowman is wonderful.

How beautiful! I love it tiny like you did too. Great idea. I of course am still jealous of your beautiful finishes too. My box of shame is jealous I should say haha. The Santas are just beautiful but I'm already drowning in pieces I need to do so I'll pass on entering so someone else can stitch them up like they deserve. I love your pictures. Thanks for sharing. I love rainy days so I would have been happy but it's not good when you are trying to explore an area. I was in Hawaii when I was 16. It was just beautiful though I remember that.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255369612614393695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-20592351443700863542017-12-03T14:26:59.466-05:002017-12-03T14:26:59.466-05:00I love your cross stitch so much you're going ...I love your cross stitch so much you're going to pull me away from my knitting to cross stitch an ornament for my daughter and her new husband.
