I have been busy doing something- shopping- that I should not have done. Here are my acquisitions, which I do love.
This is Joy by Raymond Crawford. It is the companion piece to Noel, which was featured on the December 2009 cover of Needlepoint Now. Joy will be my Christmas stitching piece. It definitely has a warm place in my heart because Molly's name before she was adopted by us was "Joy". Molly fits her better, but Joy definitely describes her the best both in the Joy she is and the Joy she brings to our lives. *tear*.
This is Melissa Shirley's bear Madonna and child. I love the colors, the little bear peeking around the corner, and the religious picture
This next one is a gift from my dad, to be made for my dad. I think I am going to have to work on this one next. He asked me about it today! It is Alabama football season after all!
These next three canvases are part of the Petei Henry VIII and his six wives series. I can't wait to put my needle into these!
See all of these were bought on sale or were gifts!!!
