I've gotten my week off to a positive start...please let me introduce to you:
"Hope"
Little Sheep Virtues

stitched on 30 ct. R&R Chino
stitched with DMC as charted
Mounted on Weeks Dye Works Palomino Houndstooth Wool
What this "Little Sheep Virtue" means to me is:
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
Romans 12:12
I've placed my "Hope" in my antique dough trencher...I need to get some greenery to set my sheep off! But I can just visualize my little flock of sheep reminding me of the virtues to practice in this life so that I may one day rejoice in heaven!
I'm looking very forward to the reveal of February and to stitching her and adding her in :) Two sheep makes a small flock, right?! :)
A busy week ahead....
as I unexpectedly began another week of full time work at the hospital. But I'm happy to have the extra money to contribute to the budget! So hi-ho-hi-ho its off to work I go....
Until next time my dear friends...
I'll be keeping my hands to work and heart to God, just like always as I practice hope along the way! Join me....
Hugs in stitches,
Vonna XXX
As expected, a superb job of stitching and finishing.

ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish! Love everything about it.
ReplyDeleteVonna,
ReplyDeleteYour finish is gorgeous! I am loving these sheep...I know eventually I'm going to want to add them to my collection.
Love it...you did a great job!!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteHope is adorable and you did a wonderful job with the finishing! Love it in the bowl, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm still stitching the border on mine, but am loving each stitch!
it is so lovely x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stitching and finishing. Those sheep are going to look amazing in that bowl!
ReplyDeleteFantastic finish, Vonna! I love your finishing, too.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Vonna ! Love your dough bowl :) Have a great week !
ReplyDeleteNice work as usual, Vonna. I believe this will be wonderful from LHN. :) Cathryn
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish. I love the Bible verse you chose to go with it!
ReplyDeleteVery cute your hope, congrats on the finish. I can't wait to see them gather together each month. CJ in OK
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty !!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I've been meaning to try some of the weeks houndstooth wool, but not sure what color/ project.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet is your Hope? I love that you've chosen to finish it on (sheep) wool! It's great to see the beginning of a new series, and can't wait to see how you treat the rest! "Hope" you have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish Vonna. I have to say I am a bit envious of your talent for finishing. Not only do you do a wonderful job but you actually get it done in a timely manner. I can do it but it doesn't come easy and I always always always procrastinate for months before I try. I just don't enjoy the process. Can't wait to see the next addition to your bowl!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love how you'll display them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish Vonna! I can't wait to see your bowl filled with all these wonderful virtues!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week my friend!!
Hugs to you:)
Your finish is beautiful - and what a gorgeous color of linen!
ReplyDeletePerfection! Romans 12:12, what a great verse! Thanks for sharing.=)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little ornie! Your dough trencher is the perfect spot for it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish, Vonna - love it!

Less B*tching, More Stitching!
Beautiful job! So nice to see that little sheep "hoping" for company. Don't work too hard.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful !!
ReplyDeleteLove your little sheep and he is beautifully finished.
ReplyDeletelove the finishing you did on the sheep virtue Vonna. the wool is a nice addition and makes perfect sense for these sheepy designs. I had to pass up on this series but it sure is cute. Melody
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stitching. I love these sheep. I'm waiting for a couple to come out before I order them.
ReplyDeleteGreat finish!!
ReplyDeleteCute finish Vonna! Mine is MIA in the post. I can't wait for it to arrive so I can start it! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful finish, Vonna! The wool is so pretty for your fabric.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable. Fabulous finishing as always. What a wonderful way to display and be reminded of the virtues.
ReplyDeleteLove your finish, with the backing fabric and creating a flock sounds wonderful!! :)
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is amazing! I have cross stitched in years, but sure have the desire to do so. I found you by blog hopping. How in the word do you see on such fine linens. Like I said it's been years since I stitched, so it's been a long time on small count and many pairs of bi- and trifocals.
ReplyDeleteThank you for including the names of the patterns. I'm also a quilter and I get frustrated in all my crafts when bloggers don't include the name of the pattern.
May God richly bless all that to which you put your hand.
ReplyDeleteI do have this sweet little design in my stash already and I already loved how you finished it, when I first saw it.
It´s beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching!!!
It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching!
Aww, hope is so cute. Love the cord, is that jute? Looks great
ReplyDeleteYour finishes are always so beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteCute finish, congratulations
ReplyDeleteYour little sheep is adorable Vonna. I'm hoping she will arrive very soon on our shores so I can stitch her.
ReplyDeleteReally adorable finish, Vonna, and that dough trencher is awesome!! I look forward to seeing it all filled up :)
ReplyDeleteHope the full-time work schedule eases up, soon--that has to be hard with four active kids to ferry around to activities!
Lovely stitching and finishing.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to see what the other designs are before deciding whether to buy.
Beautiful finish
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet little finish!

I can't wait to get my Little Sheep in the post. I am trying to find the 'right' finishing fabric to back mine as seperate wee ornaments, then I have the perfect backet to display them in.
ReplyDeleteI truly love this finish...and that wooden bowl is awesome! Congrats on that finish.
ReplyDeleteHope al is well with you and your family.
Such a sweet and gorgeous finish-as always! I envy your finishing skills!
ReplyDeleteYour Hope finish looks amazing Vonna! I've seen the second ornie in the series now and I can't wait to see a pic of your finish. I really want to order these but they will have to wait for a bit.
