I was just gabbing to the "girls" and we are all having a great time with our ornament exchanges and boxes of goodies sent to each other and just being friends when it occurs to me that the main reason I LOVE the year end ornament exchange is this: There is no judging, there's not one bit of stress or concern about whether or not I'm looking at a picture of stitching and wondering "is that twisted or just just stupid floss?"
NONE of that concerned me, nor did it come to my mind as I held IN MY HAND, my precious ornament received. To actually be able to HOLD something precious in my hands that was stitched by another person...it's such a GIFT! A wonderfully sweet gift! Let me share with you ornaments from exchanges past:
2015 I received this from MasterPlanner this was from
and the year prior to that
There is no way this could ever be a competition! It's a wide open, from the heart, let's try something new and different kind of thing! The ONLY downside to this is now we have to wait until the end of 2018 to do it again, but I really feel strongly that I should PLAN for the next one, but then WHY?? I love what I made this year and I believe my receiver will too.........I mean, that's the point, right?? I found, OUT OF THE BLUE, a wonderful pattern that I LOVE! It was on accident, but there it was! I'm still tempted to really plan something out tho.........but I know how it will go and I'm sure those that know me know it will be just like every year we do this: ON THE FLY!
I'd like to thank everyone who has participated in these exchanges and please know how very AWESOME you all are!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS MY BEAUTIFUL, SPARKLY STITCHERS!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020
There I was thinking I wouldn't be on dA anymore and it turns out I missed it too much. It also turns out that I'd rather be here and my blog than anywhere else aside from Instagram. It was a nice break away from everything and I'll probably not be on as often as I used to be, but here is where I'll continue to post things and hang with my friends. I've had a few finishes, but would like to feature my first favorite: Enjoy the new year my little squishy humans! :D

What is Neglected Floss Stitch Along? It is a wonderful way for everyone to utilize that floss that has been hanging around your stash. For some, it probably bothers you just a tiny bit that you have these flosses that never get used or there is just a tiny bit left of some specialty floss that you may never use again from a kit. Here is the best way to ensure you use every one of your stashed flosses at least once, or finish them off entirely! Gifted floss, those bobbins that sit quie
