So I chose for an autumn bag using coffee-dyed 32 count Zweigart linen and hand-dyed threads of my choice. The model of the bag is a little bit like the end of an acorn and finished with felt. 
I finished the second pieces rather tradional using DMC thread. It was fun doing these pieces although I didn't win any prizes.
Will this year be a Primitive Year? Look at these beautiful charts, which I got as Christmas gifts. Aren't they lovely?
In March I will take class from Niky. You maybe remember her designs, which you saw before in the BBD book Joyeux Noel. If you want to see more of her designs you can look at http://www.niky-nikycreations.blogspot.com/ 
These two pieces are also from her design. The left one is for myself and the right one is for Barbara.
Of course our tree is decorated with balls and ornies with memories. Some angels from Germany, little gifts from friends, the first santa's, which my son choose 23 years ago. I love to see the tree this way.
And this year for the first time is my goose made from Tilda design. Isn't cute?
We baked a lot of cookies and cooked nice meals, the smell of this trio is all around us. I have finished the LHN gingerbreads like this because when the other seasons come I can change the front. I love how it tuns out although we don't have time to hang it up.
My exchange piece for our private SWAP. It took a month before it arrived at Angela's home. Such a relief. The postmen were striking over and over again so I was so glad that it arrived in time. Luckily Angela loves the ornie. The design is from Brittercup.
Not only Angela has to wait so long for her ornie. Ela has also to wait for her ornie and can you imagine that France is so nearby.
LHN ornies of the months. They shows how different they look when you used different fabric.
Another two pieces from the Sampler girl. The design was published in the Gift of Stitching. The ornie on the right is for my friend Rebecca. I also made an ornie for my friend Barbara but I think it wouldn't reach her before Christmas. So I cann't show it yet.
It's really nice to use the little bag this way. Just fill it with something Chrimassy.
The last ornie is a design from Lizzie Kate. I love this one. Look at the little bells!
Last week we got a lot of snow as you can see so it was good time for stitching. I finished my Christmas candy box from Country Cottage Needleworks design: Peppermint Lane. We love peppermint candies. Nowdays it's easy to buy them. So no Christmas without candycans. I stitched the design on 32 count Zweigart linen and finished it on the top of the box. Really happy with how it turns out.
These two tiny beauties came from my BBD exchangepartner Christina. The left one is from the design Autumn Stars, JCS halloween issue 2009. The scissorsfob is taken from Strawberry Garden, LF 18. Both are beaded around. Aren't they beautiful? I like them so thank you so much, Christina.
Look at this cute freebie from Paulette Stewart of the Plumstreet Samplers. I stitched it on Zweigart vintage orange. Change some of the colours and finished it on the top of a box.
The pictures don't do any justice because the weather is nowdays awful. No sunshines to find.
My ornie from LK chart Autumn basket for my exchangepartner Pirjo from Finland. 
The backside.
This piece is a part of the LHN chart State Fair, stitched on Zweigart linen vintage orange. Luckily my Seasonal exchangepartner Christina loved it.
The last piece is from LK Harvest sampler, stitched on Zweigart linen. I changed some of the colours. 
I put a branch in a big vase and decorate it with my pieces. I also but the Christmas tree lights it. And of course there was also a big bowl with candy's
This one is a freebie from Gazette. I think it's a challenge to use so much different fabric for the pieces. I chose my own colours, using Threadworx, Carrie thread and DMC varitions.
Alwasy love the designs of Brittercup. Look at these cute kittens! The fabric is lambswool.
This is a part of LK chart, stitched on 32 count light blue linen.
Blessed be is a freebie from Plum Pudding needleart stitched on 32 count Mocha linen.
Pumpkinflower is a freebie from Full Circle Designs. I change some colours.
An autumn freebie from San-man originals
For this piece I did use the recommended threads. The orange is from Threadworx and DMC varitions. For the bat I blended two different DMC colours together because I think it's more scarry than only using black.
The last 2 pieces are from Waxing Moon, Halloween tree and Autumn minis. I enjoyed stitching all the pieces and also made some pins because is really hard to find some Halloween decoration here. OOPS, I forget some pieces, I keep them in mind for the next time.
I get a beautiful box from Lisa (V) all the way from Australia. She stitched the design from French designer Danybrod on 28 count Silkweaver linen "Raphsody". The design is called Rond Fleuri and finished it on the top of a box. 
And look at this side. A tiny, cute charm is added to the ribbon. This is my first exchangebox and I love it, it's really gorgeous! Thanks so much, Lisa for this private exchange. You have done a great job for me.
No, no, it's not enough. Here is the Seasonal exchangepiece from Lisa (S). She stitched a design from my favo designer Prairie Schooler. It's from the Acorns book and stitched on 32 count Lambswool with DMC threads. I don't have this design so it's a surprise for me. Isn't gorgeous too?
And look at the backside. The fabric fits so well.
The last one is from the LK exchange. A cute, little cushion from Finland. I love to thank my partner , but don't know, who is making such a beautiful cushion for me. Anyway thanks partner for this gift, I love it.
