Leave a Comment As this is the last day of the year I wanted to share updates of my progresses.
I started a stitch-a-long with my friend Sveina. We both fell in love with Hannah Lynn´s Punch of color girl 12. Here is how far I´ve got. I was really aiming to finished her eye but unfortunately I didn´t make it😦 However her eyelashes are there🙂

I want to show your a threader I bought from the HAED website. I absolutely love it!
I also want to show you my jar of ort´s from 2016. I only started collecting my ort´s in May after we moved into our new house. Pretty good collection though for only 8 months🙂
At last I want to wish everyone a happy new year 2017🙂 Thank you all for visiting my blog and your comments. They mean a lot to me.
I will be having another giveaway in January so be sure to check in again🙂
Two finishes
I have two finishes to show you and little gift I got from my secret Santa at work.
First of all I finished another Magic Doll design. I really love this cute dolls. I have to say though that the back stitch is a bit crazy and seem to take forever. But the outcome is all worth it.

Stitched on 32 ct linen from my stash
And here she is without the back stitch. The back stitch really completes the piece.
I have another small finish. It´s Soda pattern piece I started a long time ago and I have been picking it up every now and then. It´s a set of 8 small houses and I finally finished the second house.

I have decided to give away some of my stash. So occasionally I will post Give away on my blog. It will be original patterns which I have already stitched and don´t need anymore or patterns/kits I know I won´t stitch and I´d rather give them a new home.
My first Give away will be tomorrow so be sure to check in again🙂
Most of hair done
I finished most of her hair this weekend. I think she is turning out so nicely.

8100 Stitches done
I´m a little torn whether to keep going with her and start her face or rotate to something else for a while.
FOF 14 -one side done
I finished one side of her hair last night. I think it looks so pretty. Now I will do the other side. Have to admit though I´m a little bored of all the browns. Can´t wait to do her face😀

2015 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,800 times in 2015. If it were a cable car, it would take about 30 trips to carry that many people.
Snowflake – Magic Dolls
I have a new finish! This one is by a Russian designer which I came across on Pinterest. I instantly fell in love with her Magic Dolls series. I already purchased 20 of them and I want 10 more🙂 LOL
Here is the first one. Doesn´t she look super cute🙂

In March I went to London to meet my Facebook friends Jessica and Tami from USA. Together we went to a stitching show in Olympia and of course we also did some sight-seeing.

I did some shopping at the stitching show. I bought Michael Powell´s Place de Marché.

Mini Myra – beautiful face
Her face is finally completed! She looks so beautiful!
Since I needed to replace her on the q-snap I´m able to show you a full picture. I´m a bit torn whether to stitch the rest of her body first or finish the background.
