The stitching just doesn’t stop! 
Well, OK… Tonight I actually did some finishing, but the fact is needle and thread have been in hand.
I bet you had forgotten that I was doing a PIF, but tonight I finished the last two of my PIF gifts. I decided that for my PIFs I was going to make everyone scissor fobs. Now, I will be honest and admit that two of the scissor fobs I made last year. However, since I only have three pairs of scissors that need fobs I figured there was no harm in sending a couple of the fobs I have made in the past off to new homes. After all, this is my PIF and I make the rules!
And as part of my rules, although I won’t be sending the fobs to their new homes until after the holidays, I am showing them now but not telling who gets which fob until they are received. That’s the mystery!
From left to right, we have “Ring O’ Roses Biscornu Fob” by Periphaeria Designs stitched over two on 36 count Khaki Edinburgh Linen, “Woodland Joy” by Something in Common stitched over one on 28 count Lambswool Joblean, “Sunbonnet Sue” from the Nov/Dec 1993 issue of Cross Stitch and Country Crafts stitched over one on 28 count Antique White Cashel Linen, “Pumpkin on Gingham” by the Sweetheart Tree (in the 2008 JCS Halloween Issue) stitched over two on 36 count Khaki Edinburgh Linen, and “No Frogging Allowed” by Stitchy Kitty stitched over one on 28 count Antique White Cashel Linen.
One thing I have learned while making these fobs is a good rule of thumb for cording length: When making your own cording, use three lengths of DMC that are 30″ long a piece because once they get all twisted up into the cord you will have (in my opinion) the perfect fob-length cord of about 10″.
