Here's my what I've been currently working on....
I took some white belfast 32ct linen and hand dyed 2 pieces. The first one was a bit too pink, which is my favorite color, but not for this project. The second one was more the right tone.
Here's my progress on Winter Wonderland. The border matched up perfectly. WooHoo!!
And here's my progress on "Good Morning" for my Sal with Linda stitchin on Saturdays.
There were a few days of no stitching because I was preparing for Christmas.
My laptop had gotten a virus. Well really I've been using my sons old laptop. He had to wipe it clean and start over. This is the second time. Somehow he loaded Vista and not Windows 7. But at least I have access to the web - Lol! Yes I did have all my files saved from before the first time. In the accessories file, Paint is listed and now it goes by percentages for resizing my photos and not by the number of pixels.
Wishing you a wonderful and blessed New Year! With my love and appreciation - Annette

Winter Wonderland will be very pretty stitched on that linen. How lucky you found it in your stash!!
I love Winter Wonderland! Woohoo for the border meeting up! Love your Good Morning progress too! Bummer on the computer -- but at least you have it back up and running. Amazing how we miss the web when we don't have it, isn't it?
Lovely start on Winter Wonderland...and the rooster is colorful and handsome, Annette!!
January should be exciting for us both with the January Challenge! I love your new sampler.
A great start on Winter Wonderland. I like how handy you are with dying your own fabric! It looks like it will be a fun stitch with lots of 'characters' wandering about.
A great start and what a treat to find that you already had the design too.
Dear Annette,
First congratulations with your son Nicolas! What a nice surprise you have organised a Party for him and his friends.
It is been really Christmas for you with all the gifts and exchanges :-)) What a lovely pieces you have made and received from XXXfriends.
Wish a a beautiful stitching year and I love the new start of Winter Wonderland. Happy New Year!

Lovely projects! I love the colors in Winter Wonderland.
I hope that the computer issues settle down soon!
Nice start for 2015....hope your computer issues improve....
That is a very pretty project Annette. Glad to see you are still working on the rooster too. :)
Do you know that it happened to me too - and several times - that I found a chart in my stash that I had added to my wish list for my next order? Lol. BUt not during this year as since I have been strictly stitching from stash I have been browsing through all my stash so often that I know now what is in there.
Nice progress on your old project. And a great new start. This is one of my favourites by BBD, and the fabric you dyed goes so perfectly with it.
Have a great start into the New Year!
How fantastic that you dye your own linen!! Wish I was brave enough to do that. Your BBD is one I want to stitch on day too, just not this year. Too many projects on the front burner right now and my list for this year is way too ambitious!! Happy New Year, Laura
I have Winter Wonderland in my stash, too! The linen is in there with it! Perhaps this is a sign that I need to stitch it!!! HA HA
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Wonderful projects. I'm looking forward to your progress.
Winter Wonderland is such a pretty piece. You must have quite a stash to have forgotten you already owned it! ;-) And I think you got the fabric color just right.
Cute rooster project and nice progress.
Have a healthy, happy, stitchy 2015!
Winter Wonderful is gorgeous Annette and one I would love to stitch too. For now, I will just admire it through you :D Have fun starting 15 starts in January! I've considered joining in the fun in memory of Debbie but with baby on the way, I think stitching is going to take a back seat. Love the colour you dyed for WW. Great progress on your Rooster too. I should join in on Saturdays since I have the rooster to finish stitching. I'll perhaps stitch on Saturdays in spirit with the both of you! Hugs and Happy New Year!!
I so love that BBD Winter Wonderland chart... Don't know why I haven't stitched it as I have it in my stash!
Hope your computer shapes up and stays virus-free in 2015! Happy New Year to you and your family, Annette!
Love the Winter wonderland designlook forward to seeing your progress
Dear Annette,
I hope you had a good start of 2015:

Hugs
Hilda
