My own HOE exchange pieces

(a view from the garden in Norway to H's mother's little house)

I just saw on HOE2 that Ellen S. received the biscornu I stitched for her. Really, I took very bad pictures... I loved the result and I am glad that Ellen likes it too!

And here is my Prairie Schooler exchange piece for Laurence.


Stitched on WDW fabric with silks, finished with Gloriana silk ribbon

Thank you so much for your visits, it feels really good to be blogging again and return to this friendly community :) Also a warm smile to new visitors, I'll make sure to visit your blogs later tonight :) I am fighting a super boring text for tomorrow morning, and I need to get it off my head before I procrastinate too much, so I'll post many photos of gifties tomorrow, still need to describe them.

Beautiful pieces Anna. That biscornu is just adorable. Your Prairie Schooler pinkeep is so beautiful too.
And I also enjoyed the picture of the snow in Norway. It looks so peaceful

So much snow :) Since I moved to Italy, I miss it very much. I love biscornus, and this one is simply adorable :) And the Prairie Schooler ornament looks great.

Those are gorgeous! You obviously have a lot of talent (and patience). Love the picture of your view. I'm slightly jealous.
