A Few Finishes

Do you remember my pieces from The People's Choice?

Well, I figured out a way to fully finish a few of them.
First, I had stitched this cat for my daughter and it came with a box. I finished it years ago and I had a brilliant idea.

I put two magnets inside/back of the box:

 I then glued two magnets on the back of this little piece:


I was able to use the box and display this cute little pumpkin piece.

I bought some magnetic paint and put a little bit on the corner of the frame of the Welcome piece. A magnet on the back of the pumpkin and it adds a nice touch. (I have most of the other Welcome pieces by Mill Hill and they all have a little doo-dad to attach to the frame.The little bit of magnetic paint will enable mt to stick them on.)
I had finished this Mill Hill Kit a while back and decided to just glue the little Mill Hill scarecrow to the frame.

I have ideas for the other pieces. Now to find time to finish them so I can display them next year.

Trying to Catch-Up

Jo over at Serendipitous Stitching reminded me about the Totally Useless Stitch-a-long or TUSAL. Daffy Cat is hosting this but has been very quiet. Anyway, all you need to do is post an image of your orts. It is fun to see everyone's little bits and pieces...

Jo is also hosting The People's Choice SAL which you can find at the above link. This month is finishing. I do have a lot of finished pieces although I have a lot in my basement that need to be fully finished!
I like to finish things as notebooks so that I can see them every day as take notes. I can't remember the designers name or the patterns, but they are canvas pieces.

 I also have a thing for hearts, especially ones by Gay Ann Rogers. Here are two that are finished.

I am working on one now, but it isn't ready to be FFOed yet. Soon though!
Do you have anything new to show? I love seeing what everyone else is stitching!

A Pile of Mill Hill Finished!

The top photo is the pile of stitched projects that I could find in my stash.  I think there may be more, but this was enough for me to deal with.  The bottom photo is the Mill Hill bead kits that I quickly put a backing on and cut out.  Why did I procrastinate on doing that when it took less than an hour?
The Santas and hearts have been cut out and glued to cardboard.  I need to figure out material for the backs and make cording and then I will post a photo.
