Just perfect for our 22 year old carpenter son right? This is from 501 Cross Stitch Designs by Sam Hawkins. I stitched this two over two with the called for DMC on a mystery 29 count linen.
The next stitchy project I completed is the September Poodle.😊I am really pleased with how this little one turned out.
I thought of you Julie and your love of books. When I stitched this I smiled. I knew you are going to stitch this as one of your little poodles on your bookmark!! How wonderful!
Here is the September Poodle for all of you my friends to stitch up if you like. As always, all of the poodle patterns can be found on my Calendar Poodle SAL Page at the top of my blog. Just click on the tab found there.

Use two strands of 838 to make a French Knot nose. Use one strand of 838 for all backstitching. |

MARTINA!
I will be back soon with something special. Until then, take care! Thanks for stopping by.

The carpenter ornament is so perfect for your son! He will love and treasure it I am sure. I love your poodle as well.

Congratulations to Martina.
Cute ornie for Emerson and congrats to Martina!
ReplyDeleteI do like Emerson's ornament!! I immediately pictured it mounted on a section of a wooden ruler. Probably not wide enough though. Maybe on to a very thin wood base with moulding edges to frame.
ReplyDeleteAnother sweet poodle!
Lovely work from you again Vickie..and a Christmas stitching already, wow!!
ReplyDeleteLove the ornament, and I know he will, too. Congrats to Martina on the Lizzie Kate win, I am totally in love with that cute little sea horse and crabby. Awww love Septs poodle. I hope to stitch him soon. Wishing you a great day sweet friend. Blessings always. :)

ReplyDeleteVickie I love what you have stitched for Emerson. It is going to make the perfect Christmas ornament. And your September poodle is adorable. It's my birthday month so I'm liking the idea of a cute bookmark as Penny mentioned. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I wonder if you can find some tool fabric?
ReplyDeleteAwe, September is adorable, perfect for the start of the school year.
Congrats to Martina!
Cute carpenter stitch! Maybe you could frame it with the tools from a child's tool set haha. :D
ReplyDeleteThe September poodle pup has the right idea! And is totally perfect for a little bookmark.
Your son is going to love this special ornament from his mum.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of ornie for your son. It may not seem very Christmassy until you think of what occupation Joseph had!

I love the 3D effect the book gives the design, Vickie. Judy
