Bookmarks done!
The great snow "storm" of 2009 is over. Well, actually, up here in Connecticut it was a pitiful excuse for a storm, but I send warm wishes to friends and family in the Mid Atlantic AKA the heart of the blizzard. Anyway, I took advantage of the storm and of random down time over the past few weeks and finished the gifts for Em's day care teachers!
Since there were all free charts, I thought my stitching friends would like the links. But know that I made lots of changes to each chart!
Candy Land Ginger Bread House - Chart
Snowman with Bird - Chart (Italian site)
Snowman Head - Chart
The Christmas Tree is a freebie from Michael Powell - you have to be a member to receive it - Link to his site
(pictures in order of the charts above :) )
Thanks so much too all the great ladies (and gentlemen???) of cross_stitch for your advice/suggestions on the lettering - I love the way these came out! I did frog/restitch the letters in Jean's bookmark - I needed it to be centered!
But I think the real question is, why is the carpet a different color in the last picture? I took them one after another in the same spot under the lamp. Curious....
