My sale stash from Sew and So arrived yesterday, I was very restrained and just ordered some jingle bells and a few threads, some Dragon Floss, WDW, Valdani and Needlepoint Silks, they were all half price so a good bargain. I also ordered a couple of peices of fabric from Karla at The Patchwork Rabbit, they also arrived yesterday.

I had an abundance of banana’s going a little ripe (I hate them ripe) so I made a couple of banana loaves one for us and one for my parents…yummy!

I have a little kitchen helper now, whenever I head into the kitchen she is my little shadow, following me around and wanting to help..today she wanted to help with the vegetables for the Sunday Roast….a little chef in the making I think!

I finally finished up my iStitch Sew Mystery box….my Dad has had it for the past couple of months varnishing it, to be fair he sanded it, primed it, and varnished it 3 times, he did a great job!
I lined the inside with a fabric I found in the Viking Loom and trimmed it with an ivory/cream cord..the top I also edged in the same cord…I have burnt finger ends this evening from the hot glue gun :0(, there is a matching pin pillow which I have stitched but I haven’t finished that up as yet but will do soon!
Another of Carol’s lovely designs is my first Christmas Ornament finish for my year long personal SAL, I also used my corder for the first time and made matching cord with the DMC thread I used to stitch…I don;t know why I’ve not done it before….easy peasy!

I finished up another peice tonight, but it’s secret stitching so I cannot reveal it yet…
Thanks for visiting….

Congrats on finishing the little ornament and the box. Your father did a great job, but your stitching on the top is surely the rightful eye catcher.
What a cute little helper you have there
Great stash and such lovely finishes. How sweet to have a box finished by both you and your father.
Your helper is adorable!
Great stash! I love that you have a new assistant chef. When I am with my DGD, she "helps" me too, and I couldn't be happier. Your box is amazing - kudos to your Dad!
