Today's finishing is a selection of the unusual to the amazing. First, Stephanie shows off the small sized Painted Pony angels as tiny stand ups. I love how the bottom of the needlepoint looks like an overskirt with the oval base showing smaller underneath.

The "amazing" portion comes from Ada Hayden who shows off a selection of finished biscornus and humbugs in a variety of colors. These are all her Eye Candy canvases, stitched by a bunch of talented folks.

Another amazing piece is this doll (TJ Designs?) stitched for a daughter.

However, I think the unusual AND amazing award goes to Pocket Full of Stitches which has a fun selection of black and white pillows that'll blow your socks off. The other pillows they showcase are lovely but the black and white ones are dramatic to the max.

I could be wrong, though. This tiny Barbara Bergsten purse is astounding. It is either 3 inches square (18 count) or 4 inches square (13 count). Good things come in small packages, don't they?

Enjoy the show!
