This week I had two finishes: Autumn Band Sampler and Sleigh Bells Ring both by Little House Needleworks.
For Autumn Band Sampler, I left off the alphabet as I am not the biggest fan of the alphabet in cross-stitch and hubby definitely does not care for the alphabet. I also added another leaf to each of the trees and extended a few branches to take up the space where the letters Y and Z were supposed to be. I really loved the fall colors in this piece, and I am quite pleased with how it turned out :)
I also finished Sleigh Bells Ring, a Christmas ornament by Little House Needleworks. The horse and sleigh are too cute :) This is going to be a Christmas present. I will have to finish it into an ornament, but at least I have one present almost done this year.
And last but not least, today is my one-year wedding anniversary! Hard to believe I have been married for one year already :) We will be going out to our favorite restaurant tonight to celebrate :)
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Gorgeous photo of you two! Happy Anniversary!! Big congrats on your finishes! I like how you did the Autumn Band Sampler! It's unique!!
What a lovely pair of finishes. You wouldn't know you'd changed the design, it looks perfect.
Funnily enough I love alphabets on samplers but only if they have ALL the letters! Some of the older style ones don't.
Congrats on the Wedding Anniversary too.
