Scissor "Ornament"ation


My ornament is finally finished and ready for a road trip!!  Here "she" is all decked out in pretty petal pinks and adorned with glowing pink glass beads.  A perfect compliment to the lovely pair of heart scissors. 

Thank you Pumpkin for organizing such a fabulous way for me (and all of us) to participate in such a worthy cause.  I would do it again in a heart beat!!!

Whew, finally finished this ornament & not a moment too soon. I  added a little breast cancer survivor charm on the bottom of the left hand corner. Glad to be a part of a great cause :)

Here is my completed ornament...

I finished this ornament yesterday. I put into the mail Monday and it should be there to Jean on Wednesday. I am so happy to have been apart of this. I would be honored to join again next year.

My Ornaments






These are the 2 ornaments I have sent in to the Breast Cancer Auction!


The Heart In Hand is a kit that comes with a little bag.






This one was Freebie, can't remember the designer. I stitch Glass beads all around the edge.

These have gone in the mail. I really enjoyed stitching them!

Faith, Hope and Peace

Sorry I'm late in posting this, it went out earlier this week.

Stitched on 28ct white evenweave with DMC 3689. The picture does not to it justice, it really looks much better in person.

Thanks for arranging this Cathey and I look forward to doing it again next year.

They're In!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that the recipe books are in at the Attic :o) If you've already reserved a copy, it's probably on the way to you. If you didn't reserve a copy and would like one, Jean says there are lots of copies available!

I sent this ornament to Attic Needlework a while back. I just forgot to post here. Hope it made it safely.

Update

Hi everyone! How are you coming along with your donations? I'm embarrassed to say that I 'just' mailed out my two ornaments this past week...

I finally finished off my felted snowman and he left my house sporting a new pair of arms -

Photobucket

I hope he looks okay.

A few of you have asked how you can find out if your package has been received. I suggest that you either include a note in your package asking Jean to email you when it arrives or email her now to see if she's got it. She stated that if you indicate that you are part of the Pumpkin Patch & Co Breast Fund, she will keep track of how much we raise as a group :o) I'm anxious to see how we do.

As far as I can tell, the following people have finished their donations and have mailed them out -

Pumpkin
Nia
Carol
Ranae
Natalie
Harmien
Annie
Irene
Christina
April
Carolyn
Tammy
Nicole
Jolene
Alberta
Cindy

If I'm missing anyone, can you plmk. Thank you :o)

It's on its way!

'Tis done!  I love it!  My dear friend, Stephani, did the finishing for me, and it looks fantastic!  She used fabrics from the Sandy Gervais "Adoring" line, if I'm not mistaken.  The back has a taupe and burgundy stripe.  It goes to the post office tomorrow!
