I had a couple of finishes that I never posted so I thought I would do that for yinz guys.
This is actually a part of an ornament. I haven't actually finished it as an ornament but it is all stitched. There are two of them exactly the same but with our last name and the other with my son and DIL's last name and 2008 stitched on both. Being as my son and DIL and Sweetie Man and I were both married last year, I thought it was appropriate. I like to make an ornament with the date on it each year for our Christmas tree anyway. It is really nice to look back and see what craft I was into that year. (all pics are clickable for a close-up) Second, I love the Cross-Eyed Cricket series of Kisses. The first of course was the pepper for the Sweetie Man. I haven't decided if I'm going to stitch them all first then make them into ornaments for my dowel rod tree or do each separately. (probably the first as I'm really into stitching them) I think this one was called HOT KISS! (enough said on that one!) The silver and red are really sparkly and the thread was a "braid" not the filament and was really nice to work with.
And in the last post I told you I've gotten a little addicted to the Dotee Dolls....Here are my last two creations. No pattern (which is usually difficult for me as I don't think I'm creative enough) but maybe I underestimated myself as I really like these dollies I made up! First one is Pepper Man Dotee Doll (notice the buttons that read HOT) and the second is Booby Dotee Doll (see the snaps?)

Hi Lucy -- Great stitching! Very creative with the dolls. Are you a sock monkey fan?
oh, Luc! Your dotee dolls are great.
LOVE the dollies--great job on them. Also love the kisses. The Cricket stuff is such a pleasure to stitch because it's so easy and cute. Can't wait to see that second one!
I admire the way you work on multiple cross stitches at one time. I have devote myself to one of those projects at a time. Unlike the yarny stuff.
all your projects are so cute!
Your ornament is looking lovely Lucy.
Love the Kisses! So cute! Looking forward to seeing what the butterfly looks like when it's done.
Love the Dotee Dolls!
Everything is so darn cute! You've been one busy crafter!
