I've been helping my parents start decluttering their house this past week. Much has gone into the trash and recycling bins, and there's much more to go thru. But some of what my mom was getting rid of was the cross-stitch stuff that she had gotten over the years, well at least what she had found at this point. And of course I said I'd take them, altho I won't be keeping all of it.
First piece was this Christmas stocking that was complete except for the back stitch around the bottom most figure and lamb. That has now been completed.
This kit as in the pile, stitching was started. Not sure if I'll keep it or send it to a friend that does cross-stitch.
This bell-pull is completely stitched and just needs to be finished off.
And found this sampler celebrating my maternal grandparents wedding anniversary. I'm not sure who made this. I do plan to finish it into a little wall-hanging.
And these two "new" kits were found. The one on the left is a card kit, and the one on the right is a depiction of Jerusalem. As of right now both of these will be going into my stash of kits.
Gratitudes:
1. For making progress in getting thru things at the house
2. For the beautiful weather here in the Phoenix weather while I've been out here.
Some nice heirlooms there, as well as kits.
