Fiiiinallly, Husqvarna and I had a date! It was messy, fun, and intense! What a time we had! For those that don't know, Husqvarna is my dear sweet sewing machine. She hasn't seen the light of day since the beginning stages of my Finishitis just before last Christmas.
In my state of productivity, I managed to finish quite a few ornaments off and my finished pile has dimished quite a bit, although, it isn't depleted.
I'll let the pictures do the talking....
I added a little pocket to hold a package of needles, and the pages in the middle for some extra places to store needles. The pocket and the back slip of felt were attached with the Blanket Stitch. I'm really happy how the whole Accessory Set turned out.
I also received a wonderful package in the mail that I have to share with all of you. If you remember, I won a giveaway from Pat, The Southpaw Stitcher and the prize arrived.

The Dragon Dreams and Flurries ornaments were stitched by my sister. She can't sew at all and I offered to ornamentify them for her. I wanted to add ruched ribbon to both of her's, but I couldn't get it to turn out right. I might try again later, because I think I know what I was doing wrong now.

She sent all of these wonderful goodies! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway Pat!
With my finishing spree came a HUGE mess that I need to get cleaned up before I head back to work tomorrow. I might even try to squeeze in another little finish before Husqvarna has to go back to her sleeping quarters in the closet. Ohhhh how I dream of a sewing room!

Wonderful finishes, you've been busy! I always make a terrible mess when I'm finishing too, I'm not a tidy worker LOL.
Lovely, gorgeous finishes :)
and a super package to great you at the mailbox!
Oh, don't we all dream of a sewing/craft room! I see gorgeous ones all the times in crafting magazines, with all their neat and handy little organizers, and beautiful curios, and can't help wishing for "some day", LOL :)
Congrats on all your wonderful finishes! I absolutely adore how your stitching tools set turned out; I've seen several takes on needlebooks (and am stuck on what I want to do with my own, honestly) but I really like your little front pocket as I tend to keep most of my needles in their packs as well :)
And your ornaments!!! Lovely, all of them. That little kitty with the candy cane and the cute ribbon bows is so sweet, and the burgundy trim on your Christmas tree, and the cute organza-y white ribbon on your Peace ornament...utterly gorgeous, all of them!
You have a real talent for putting together great finishing combinations. A talent that I, sadly, lack :) You'll have to get your friend the Husqvarna out again sometime soon, to inspire the rest of us with who are challenged by unfriendly sewing machines (and I'm sure I'm not the only one, LOL...at least, I hope not!)!
Your ornie finishes are fabulous!! I wish that I had a sewing machine and that I knew how to use one. I have to sew all my ornaments by hand and I'm not very good at it.
Congrats on your winnings! There are some lovely charts there.
Aah Karen, you and me both! If I ever win the National Lottery (unlikely as I never take a ticket) I want a sewing room and everyone else can have the rest of the million dollars!
Well done on your finishes.
Lovely stuff Karen!
And the kitty xmas ornament reminds me that I have to get my siblings stockings done for December (my sister chose that cute little pattern for part of hers)
