Embroidery: Winter Stitching Club


Here are the little hexagons joined to make a snowflake type shape. The Winter Stitching Club makes a table runner type thing. I'm really glad about my choice to not include the little faces on the stitchery. My favorites are the cup of tea and the thermos!

Springbok: A Christmas Memory Tree

Eurographics: Canadian Pacific

Details: I originally saw this series of train puzzles on the internet and was wary about the brand but this puzzle fits together well. I travel across the country on the train frequently and I just love it when puzzles join two (or more) hobbies/interests.
