Acorn Scissor Case finished

Yes, they are few and far between, but I do have a small finish to show!

I picked up this Lizzie Kate kit some time ago - it is possible that it has been in my stash since before blogging. Anyway - I pulled the threads and took it with me last time we went to J'ville. I got a little stitched while we were there but I've been finishing it up in the evenings.

That banding is kind of hard to work with when it is already attached - or maybe I just have fat hands and it is just hard for me. I did have an uh-oh. I was almost completely finished with 'autumn' when I discovered I was stitching with the wrong color. I had two choices - pick out all the over one stitching or live with it - I'm living with it!

The little acorn fob came with the kit and I picked up a pair of orange scissors - they are a perfect match.
Cloudy and lots of thunder-booming going on here but no rain to speak of, at least not right here on our street.

That is adorable, Tina! And it isn't just you, I started this one as well, and put it aside without finishing, just because of it's awkwardness. I will get it back out though and finish it soon. It is just way cute!

Scissor case is so cute. I have stitch on some pre-finished items and I most have fat hands too. LOL
Great matching of the scissors!

It is so cute..puts me in the mood for fall! I also have stitched on items where you have to reach inside..very hard to do. The autumn color looks perfect. Terry
