I bought this puzzle from a thrift store that raises money for a charity - the little old ladies that run the shop commented on how lovely the picture was. More proof that my hobbies are old lady approved

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!

Details: I found this puzzle where I find the majority of my puzzles, the thrift store but this puzzle was special. It was still in the cellophane and still had a tiny piece of wrapping paper attached to the back. This puzzle was made in 1993 and it's 2013.

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.

Cross-stitch is usaually more my thing but I am loving the speed of embroidery! I joined Wild Olive's Winter Stitching Club (Three months of weekly embroidery patterns for $5!? I'm IN!) Here are December's patterns all stitched up and ready for the next step!
The next two rounds of the tatted doily. It's getting larger and each round is taking more time. Tatting is definitely labor intensive! At a few points along the way I was worried that the doily would not lay flat but that is no longer an issue.
