I made her me! If you will notice the green eye? =)
She is missing her poodle. :( I stitched 3 different poodles by "me". They all got frogged out. None looked right to me.
I finished the book The Shadow On The Quilt by Stephanie Grace Whitson. What a great book. It is historical fiction. I started The Sanctuary by Ted Dekker. Very good so far. Ted is my all time favorite author. He writes thrillers about good vs. evil. This is a second book to The Priest's Graveyard. Yeah, he doesn't exactly write about "normal" stuff. ;)
I have begun a new project. It is not cross stitch. It is a Christmas wreath for the front door. More on that soon.
I am still trying to get the XI ornaments stitched up. Near impossible for a while, with the kids having 5 days off for the holiday.
Have a stitchy day friends!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

What a super finish for that cute freebie. You found the perfect piece for the treasure box!
Looks great, Vickie. Recipe boxes aren't as abundant as they once were. I still have my first one from when I was a teenager. One of those painted metal ones...
Oh vickie! That little design is perfect for your recipe box! I adore it!! I have a ton of recipes on slips of paper in a recipe binder...wish I could find a good box for them!!
Hugs
What a neat finish on the box, Vickie! Very clever.

What a great idea, Vickie! I have an old recipe box of my husband's grandmother's that could be put to good use--thanks for inspiring me :)
