Gifts from Smokey Mountains -Sledding away

My youngest DD went down to the Smokey Mountains with her boyfriend for a mini vacation and while there she stopped by Dixie Darlin and bought me a surprise.
As far as I know Dixie Darlin is the only place these sleds and patterns are sold. Please if I'm wrong correct me on this. They have 9 different charts to choose from. I started on the little Penguin and will have him finished tonight and hope to share finish tomorrow. I love stitching on paper and am always surprised how well it holds up. I may even stitch a few more of these designs on paper and look for other things to glue them to and make my own ornaments. Any suggestions? How is your weekend going? I stopped by the church bazaar today and will share with you what I found lurking in a box under a table and yes it's crossed stitched related. Stay tuned as I haven't taken pictures yet. Pulling Tuna Noodle Casserole out of the oven for dinner so for now I wish you happy stitching, hugs -missy-

  4. They are exclusive to Dixie Darlins'. I picked some up there in August while on vacation. Wish I could find the sleds somewhere here. They are so cute and easy to stitch and finish up. They recently added bird ornaments with designs on as well.
    I was thinking of stitching more on paper and then just finishing off the back with felt, adding a hanger of course.
