2013 - the year of the Happy Dance?

So these are the two projects I finished over the weekend:

Tatty Teddy 'A New Baby'. It's an anchor kit, but I substituted the aida for laguna.



And then 'Leafy' headband by Happy Living (I found it on Ravelry):


This is done in a lovely soft Debbie Bliss Alpaca and Silk blend - it feels WONDERFUL.

I've finally found my camera card, so I can share a photograph of the other ornament I sent out for the TWCOE - Partridge in a Pear Tree by Milady's needle, from the 2012 JCS ornament edition. I really enjoyed stitching this and was very pleased with how the finishing turned out:



On Sunday I picked up fruit bellpull again, and last night I finished the xs and started the bs on the pears block - a bout of insomnia helped speed the bs along - I'll share a photo as soon as I have completed the block - maybe tomorrow?

Happy stitching folks x

Lovely ornament! This is the first year in many that I haven't done the TWCOE, but glad to know the tradition continues.

Just found you this evening as I was looking to see how others have done on the Tatty Teddy birth sampler. I just started it tonight, and even though I've done a few tatties, this one seemed to stump me with the pattern. So once I looked at your finish, mine looks okay! lol Thanks. :)
