I’m beginning to feel like I’m in a camera that is only pulled once a year to take a snap shot at Christmas; or in this case one cross-stitch exchange to the next.

I want to share the contents of an, “Ohh, so brown package!” Some how I missed getting the flower seeds in the picture. Wild flowers and brown-eye-susans. They are still in one piece; the thieving dachshund was foiled yet again.

I stitched Dragonflies from Cross-Stitch Happy for my exchange partner.

The biscornu is stitched over 1 on some 22 count Hardanger cloth. I was very pleased with the results… but I desperately need to purchase magnifying light I can use in the RV. These ol’ eyes ain’t what they used to be! The dragonflies are stitched one strand of DMC E3824 Light Effects. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was easy to stitch with.

Here’s hoping I can hold tight to all the stings, yarn, elastic and puppy dog leashes that are going to keep me busy from now on.
