I spent part of my day doing some finishing. I will say that my talent lies with the stitching not the finishing. First, is a pinkeep. The fabric that it's laying on is what's on the back.
Another little pinkeep.
These two ornies are my favorites.
This is my WIP. I can see a finish fairly soon. The picture doesn't show how really beautiful this design is. I added 4 more colors for the leaves.
Now for the surprise! I scored two of these lovely new Gingher scissors. All the Joann Fabrics in my area are already sold out. My good fortune can also be your good fortune. I am going to give a pair away.1. Leave a comment on this post only for one vote.

All your finishes are so pretty! I love Halloweeny stuff! You have been one productive stitcher!
Your stuff looks great. Looking forward to seeing them on Wed.
I think you do a good job at finishing! I've not yet attempted a pinkeep. I love the halloween designs.
everything looks wonderful! Don't be so hard on yourself!! Finish/finishing is hard!!! You did great!! I love your almost finished WIP. Won't be long!!!!!!
Wow, those scissors seem to be a hit! I have seen them on lots of sites!
Good Morning Deborah!
Your finishing looks great. I think we are always more critical of our own work. I always think I could of done a better job, but then next year when I pull out those ornaments I think wow, I really like the finishing on that one.
Congratulations on scoring the scissors. I have gotten to the point that I don't even bother making the trip to JoAnn's in Greensboro, they NEVER have the scissors. And Gingher is here in town!?!
Have a great holiday!

Well I think your finishing looks fabulous and you know I love those Halloween designs. I would love to be entered in your drawing. My JoAnn's never has the Gingher scissors.
WHOO HOOO! I'd love to be entered!
Okay but I have to say too that your projects are AHHH MAZING! I like the Halloweenie ones but am very excited about this Thanksgiving one you are doing. I haven't seen this one around.
I think your finishing is just wonderful. I know what you mean though. I have only finished finished a couple pieces myself, I do need a little more practice.
I would love to be entered in your giveaway. You are very generous.
And I am a very new follower, yesterday I think.
Thanks again
Love your Halloween finishing! I just love the BC Halloween sheep...hadn't seen that one and it is too cute!
Great giveaway for the scissors too...don't include me but good luck to one lucky stitcher!
I am with you about finishing. My talent lies in the stitching also. I have someone else do my finishing/framing now as it caused me WAY too much stress. Oh, I love those scissors! I don't own a single pair of Ginghers! Yes, I can hear the collective gasp now. Please enter me in the drawing.
I am a follower of your blog, so please put a second entry in for me for these wonderful scissors! Thanks.
Deborah, You did score big time! I would love to be entered.

OMG I love your Halloween ornaments ~ simply awesome, and perfect finishing.
Great scissors! Would love a chance to own this pair.
Gorgeous pinkeep and ornies! I am not a great one at finishing.

I think OCT 31 is my favorite, but they are all GREAT~! The Boo Sheep ornament (with his eyemask) is too cute, and I love the finishing on it!
I'd love to be included in your giveaway! My Joann's never has them in stock, either. I looked and looked but never found a pair of the Mia from last year (they were M.I.A.! lol!) Now, the needlepoint store has them, but they are charging $39! EEp!
Deb, please enter me in the drawing for the scissors. Looks like your blog is growing in visitors!
