It's the Pumpkin Blossom Pin Cushion from the Blackbird Designs Autumn Loose Feather chart. I plan to finish it using the fabric and chenille shown with it.
My other two finishes are a couple of stockings from the Blackbird Designs December Stockings leaflet.
I really messed up on one of the stockings, but I wasn't about to rip it all out. It is just an ornament after all - I don't think anyone will notice. Now I just have to get these things finished!! I also plan to stitch the third stocking from the leaflet.
This one is my favorite - I love the colors. I plan to use the same backing fabric as the stocking I stitched earlier in the year.
Well, I'm so glad my slump is gradually leaving. I'm starting to get that little thrill from my stitching again. Hopefully it continues! I've definitely missed it. I think working on a couple of small things was the right thing to do. Thank you all for your encouragement! Write soon!

Great finishes Nicole! Sometimes those small little finishes really help to get your mojo back!
What beautiful finished you have there.
You know, I had no intention of stitching those BBD stockings but now, after seeing yours, I really want them. Ha!
By the way, I've just had a very long stitching break and I really wish I hand't waited so long to get back to it. I missed more than I realised. I'm so glad to read that you're excited by your stitching again. What a beautiful craft we practice. :o)
Nicole, love those finishes. Glad to hear you are enjoying some smalls. I actually did the same thing...moved on to some ornaments and it was fun to see a finish. Looks great...and show us when you finish them into ornaments...that is the challenge for me. pj
Great to see you stitching again Nicole and your stockings looks wonderful. Some small stitching to ease you out of your slump:)

Merry Christmas, dear Nicole. I think of you sooo often. Your stitching continues to inspire and awe me. I love your constancy to reds and deep pinks which are so dear to my heart! :] Hopefully, the day will come when you'll be back in FL.
