Hi friends! I would like to share my latest finish with you. This is 'Christmas Tree 2007' by Jeannette Douglas Designs. This pattern can be found in the Ornament Preview Issue of Just Cross Stitch Magazine October 2007.
I am now stitching up an ornament for Brian. His ornament will be my first finish for the year. Then I will show you my big project for this year. I have had the patterns, the linen, and the flosses sitting in a project bag for years,waiting for me. Well it is time. THIS is THE year!
Pardonable Lies: A Maisie DobbsNovel
In the third novel of this bestselling series, London investigator Maisie Dobbs faces grave danger as she returns to the site of her most painful WWI memories to resolve the mystery of a pilot's death.
A deathbed plea from his wife leads Sir Cecil Lawton to seek the aid of Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator. As Maisie soon learns, Agnes Lawton never accepted that her aviator son was killed in the Great War, a torment that led her not only to the edge of madness but to the doors of those who practice the dark arts and commune with the spirit world. In accepting the assignment, Maisie finds her spiritual strength tested, as well as her regard for her mentor, Maurice Blanche. The mission also brings her together once again with her college friend Priscilla Evernden, who served in France and who lost three brothers to the war―one of whom, it turns out, had an intriguing connection to the missing Ralph Lawton.
That's it for today my friends! Thank you for stopping by today. I am so glad you did. :) Thank you for your kind words. I I hope you have an excellent week in this bright, new year! :)
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

That tree is lovely; the specialty stitches really add a nice dimension.
Vickie: I love the frame it is perfect, Jeannette Douglas is such a great designer, you can always tell a design by her, she uses so many different stitch's.

Good morning, Vickie! In a bag for years? Can't wait to see what it is!
Your friend will love his ornament. My specialty stitches usually just look like lumps. Not really the look to to go for...LOL
Have a wonderful day, sweetie pie!

A lovely gift and a fabulous frame.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year my friend! Your gift is just lovely! I really love this tree! Can you tell I love this tree? It is the perfect gift for your friends first Christmas! And the frame? Absolutely perfect! I love Kohls! I first discovered the store in Indiana and was so happy to see it in Sourhern California!
I am really anxious to see your big project for this year! Your stitching always inspires me so this will be fun!
Going back to the Christmas Tree ornament I am stitching a tree for Scott this year. I am behind schedule with my ornaments...lol...I finished the ones for the kids before Christmas but I am still stitching Scott's...lol! No worries though...I already have next years picked out...winks!
Maisie Dobbs is on my list for this year...I am going to look for the audio books as well! Great idea!
Sending hugs your way and I plan to answer your mail today!!!!
Enjoy your day😊
What a beautiful finish! The frame is perfect. Your friend will love this gift. Can't wait to see your big project!
What a great frame! I love it, like I love the ornament! It's a lovely gift for your friend!!
Big hug!
Vickie, what a fabulous ornament you created for your friend. I love the frame you found and will have to check out Kohls for one. I look forward to seeing/hearing about your big project for 2017. Happy New Year!
A beautiful finish in a lovely frame,Vickie.
So sweet that little tree is. I want to start reading again but if there are too many characters, I keep forgetting who is who!
Congrats on the lovely finish Vickie. The frame is great.

That frame matches perfectly with your lovely finish. I can't wait to see what you are going to be working on for 2017!
Wishing a most Happy New Year sweet friend. ((hugs))
That's a beautiful frame for your gift.
Love your latest finish and the frame. Can't wait to see what the large project will be for this year.
Hugs
Your tree ornament is very pretty. You did great on the reading front, that's a lot of books1
Love your beautiful tree ornament; so pretty. Can't wait to see what your new project is - such suspense! Do the Maisie Dobbs book go in a specific order, or is each one a stand-alone book? I want to check at my library but thought it would be good to know in case they don't have all of them. Blessings to you for 2017 - I am looking forward to a great year!

Sweet gift Vickie. Looking forward to your new project.
Awesome Christmas tree stitch, Vickie and the frame works so well with it! I'm sure it will be a treasured keepsake. My curiosity is peaked... canr wait to find out what your big project is! Happy new year, sweet lady!
A beautiful tree and a fantastic frame. I'm sure your friend was thrilled.
Such a beautiful piece and I love the frame, too! It sets it off perfectly! May God bless your New Year abundantly!! I pray you are feeling better and that God will heal you.
Blessings - Julie
Lovely new stitch and frame your friend will love it.
Enjoy your New Year stitching .
So lovely, this Christmas tree with all the specialty stitches, even some in two colours. Great.
Wishing you a happy New Vickie. And hopefully your health will improve this year.
A perfect frame for a lovely ornament. Happy New Year my friend.
Lovely stitching as usual Vicki.. I must look up your author, I haven't ever heard of her.. I did read my Bible through this year, and the Gospels twice. I usually follow a book from one of the ladies from Proverbs 31, on line study and progress from there. You're always in my prayers. Blessings to you for 2017 Chrisx
What a delightful Christmas tree Vickie! Happy stitching and reading for 2017!
What a fabulous small band sampler. I love the frame. You did well, Vicki. :-)
Very lovely tree Vickie. Happy New Year!
A pretty finish in the perfect frame - and a lovely gift! I'm very curious to see your big project. : )
I love that tree ornament design and one of my New Year Goals is to work more on Special stitches - this looks like a great design to try. Looking forward to seeing your New Special Project - I always love your stitching choices. I have to read more books, maybe I will give the audio ones a try
What a darling tree ornament--it's funny how the things we think will be the simplest often end up taking a longer time!
I also listen to audio books while stitching or walking, Vickie--I just love multi-tasking whenever I can :)
Hope your new year is off to a lovely start...
The specialty stitches are worth doing Vickie, it's a lovely gift. I look forward to seeing your big project choice.
What a great tree design and the perfect souvenir for a First American Christmas. I'm thinking of doing a Year of Tree next year (yes, I'm planning 2018 already!) as there are so many Christmas Tree designs I love.
Looking forward to finding out what the long awaited large project is.
Love the little Jeannette Douglas tree design! I'm sure your friend will be delighted to receive such a beautiful gift. :)
Beautiful Christmas tree finish, the frame is perfect for it.
Sweet finish and a lovely frame, my dear. hugs, Kaye
What a pretty 'little' finish! And that frame suits it well!! Can't wait to see what the big project for 2017 will be! Hugs!
That's such a sweet finish! Lovely stitching :D
