My Lizzie Kate Jingles project was finished earlier in the year and was just waiting for me to sew on a few buttons and beads. I'd already decided to sew it into a wall hanging, using a piece of gold spotty and red fabric.
A piece of jute for the hanging and a bright red button and it's done, all set for Christmas 2017.
(It looks a bit wonky in this photo but it was hard to get a good shot of it as it's so long)
Last week I made a small start on the third chart from Blackbird Designs For the Birds series.
The fourth chart, fabric and threads also arrived last week. I just love the thread colours used in this series.
Now I'm "patiently" waiting for the first part of this year's Lizzie Kate Christmas mystery sampler to arrive from the Silver Needle.
Thank you for all the recent comments on my little blog - have a wonderful weekend!
See you soon xxx

Your Jingles finish is gorgeous! It will be delightful, hanging anywhere! Have fun stitching the next Blackbird one...those colors are yummy! Hugs!
Love your Jingles stitch and how you finished it. And your Blackbird stitch is beautiful...such pretty colored threads. Happy stitching. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
Love your Jingles finish! I've completed Jingles and the 2009 Boo Club and was going to have them framed but now I may try something like you've done. So pretty! Thanks for the inspiration.
As for the BBD I started this series earlier in the week. I think the colors are gorgeous and I adore birds. So many cool things to stitch...
Jingles turned out great, so cute.
Love the blues in that BB series.

What a cute wall hanging! I just love these For The Birds patterns. So lovely.
The hanging is really fun, you will love getting it out every year. Just as an aside, I follow you on Bloglovin' and when I come over from them to read your post I am never able to comment, I click on comments and nothing ever happens. I always have to open your blog again by putting the name into my browser to comment. This also happens with another blog too from Bloglovin', not sure why. x
Fabulous projects Katrina
YOur finishing is fabulous and I love the red dotted fabric you chose for the hanging. Such a fun addition to your Christmas décor! I love the Blackbird series also, the colors are lovely. Mary
Beautiful Jingles wallhanging, lovely and bright. It will look fabulous hanging up at Christmas with all your other decorations you have stitched. I love the BBD bird series as well. I only have 2 at the moment, not sure whats happened to my pattern order, I must check it out. The colours are gorgeous in that series. I have resisted Lizzie Kates mystery Christmas, jolly hard but I am finishing off Gingerbread Village and committed to Colour Cascade and Shannon Wasselief SAL so one has to stop somewhere. Have a good week Katrina.
The Jingles finish is perfect! And I agree, great colors in you new projects.
Wonderful finishing on your Jingles! The button and jute are perfect! Mmmmm, I love the BBD projects you're doing...yummy colors!
I love your wall hanging..it is so hard to get a decent photo but I'm sure it is just perfect! Love the new start as well xx
I've been admiring everyone's BBD bird series! I do love the color schemes and is tempting me to join in!
Just received my Lizzie Kate Christmas Mystery Sampler from The Silver Needle, so I'm sure it's on the way! It just has farther to go to reach you! :)
A wonderful finish on the Jingles wallhanging. A lovely start on the next in the BBD series.
