So I did start something new amidst continuing to try and thin out my stitching basket a bit. This one was a Christmas present from my family, and I loved it so much I just couldn't wait to start on it. And for less than 2 weeks of stitching, I'd say I have made a good start on it. The design is "Alice au Pays des Merveilles" by Jardin Prive. My husband picked it out and then had my two daughters help him gather all the threads needed for it, so it truly was a family gift. I love the design, especially the white rabbit and the flowered tea cups/tea pot along the bottom.
I have had some recent finishes too. Finish # 2 for the year is Lizzie Kate's September block. For such a tiny piece this one sure took me a long time to get done. I ahem, started it back in September with the delusion of getting it done in September--how is it January already!
And finish #4 for the month (that puts me ahead by one if your counting-my goal was 3 finishes a month) is Trilogy "Secret Flowerbed". This was another small that took me forever to get done. I did little french knots for the bunnies tail, and the used tiny green seed beads for the caterpillar. Pretty happy with how this one came out, but no idea how I will actually finish it.

Oh I love the Alice. I am currently stitching an Alice sampler. I will have to look for this one. Great stitching.
Alice looks pretty, such a cute design. Nice finishes, love your determination to finish. Wish I had some of that!
That purple cat is the bomb
Always love Alice , you have stitched some lovely designs .
Everyone of them looks great.
I really lije the pumpkins.
What a lovely gift!! Finishes are great!
I like your new start and I love "Playing with Jacks"
Alice is coming on a treat. I love all of the detail in it. The pumpkins are very cute. I like your idea of just stitching the black pumpkin - it would make a great little ornie!
Excellent to have 4 finishes this month. I am very happy you did all of the pumpkins - Playing with Jacks is one of my favorites and it looks great. Doesn't it just amaze you when the littlest of projects take the longest amount of time to stitch
Everything looks fantastic, I love how the family helped out with Alice.
I especially love the pumpkins!
Wonderful selection of finishes, well done. Alice is lovely, a very special gift.
Such lovely pieces that you finished here. And two of your finishes even have sweet bunnies.. I love that because they evoke spring.
Pretty finishes :)
