April ornament and WIPocalypse update!

I'm in the 2013 Ornament SAL, where we stitch a new ornament each month for any holiday.  My April ornament is C'est Noel, a freebie from The Sampler Girl. I used DMC Light Effects and DMC Satin floss (so slippery!).  One of these days I'll try to make these finishes into actual ornaments!
C'est Noel - FINISHED!

Since my last WIPocalypse update in March, I have had lots of finishes and progress on my SALs.

The Bear and the Bees is an old chart from The Prairie Schooler, but you can still find it HERE.

These bookmarks will be Mother's Day gifts.  The free design is from Linen Flowers.

I stitched All's Good in the Hood by Kincavel Krosses for my son's birthday present.  It can be a housewarming gift too, since he just got a new job in a different state!

I started a new SAL with Linda for Thankful Critters, an Imaginating chart by Ursula Michael.  We stitch on this one every other weekend.  I'll stitch 1-2 letters each month so it will be finished by Thanksgiving.
Thankful Critters update #2
I'm also in a new SAL for Bothy Threads Cut Thru' designs.  I stitch the Igloo on Mondays.  When this is finished, I'll keep going and stitch another Cut Thru' from my WIP list, North Pole House and/or Pirate Ship.

The current pics of all of my WIPs are always on my WIPocalypse page. Remember to check in on Measi's blog with a link to your WIPocalypse update, too!

Bookmarks finished!

Hurray!  I actually finished something early and didn't wait until the last minute! I made these two bookmarks for Mother's Day gifts.  The pattern is a freebie from Linen Flowers.

Two new bookmark starts!

Last night I started stitching two Names of Jesus bookmarks for Mother's Day gifts!  This is a free chart from Linen Flowers.  I'm using variegated floss, pink Anchor 1207 and blue DMC 93, and premade Stitch-n-Mark bookmarks with Cluny lace and ribbon by Jeanette Crews Designs.  I will put white felt on the back.

I think I'll finish these up tonight!  Happy Wednesday stitching, everyone!
