Other Endeavors

This was made over a month ago, from a cake server in my junk drawer and some random beads, I showed my crafty friend Ronda how to wrap them and they quickly became a new obsession, many many trips to Michaels and Joanne's were required!!

We had such plans to craft all summer long, beading and stamping, but my neck surgery and her recent knee injury have prevented us from hanging out, I hope she gets great news from her doc today on her MRI. I hope to be driving soon, this surgery has knocked me off my feet!!

Birthday Wishes

Loved this little birthday cake design from Joanne Sanderson. I've made two so far and plan to finish them as cards, as soon as I do a Michael's run for card stock that is ;)

This is an adorable Erica Michaels freebie, I took poetic license and used the DMC colors I had on hand. I have the Rainbow Gallery threads and fibers on my wish list.

A Joanne Sanderson freebie, I couldnt resist. The last few weeks Ive been collecting lots of Halloween charts. Halloween is my favorite holiday, so it seems only fitting to stitch up a few tributes :)

Funday Monday

Happy Monday All:

Finally finished with work for the day and on to more fun things. Ive snapped a few more pix of completed charts, just need to decide how to finish them. I need to do a Joann's and Michaels run, Im still not driving due to my recent neck surgery. Guess I will have to ask sonny boy to drive me, (here's where I call in some favors for all the trips to the music stores ;)

Happy Stitching!!

Imogene Witch

I love her, she is a freebie from Kreinik... some of her threads glow in the dark...I plan to send her to my niece and nephew for Halloween....

Borrowed some elements from my Lizzie Kate stash and added the bone and paw print...(which Ive been told is not doggie appropriate...oops)... Sent this to a dear friend and her kids who just lost their faithful friend.....

Tea Time

My first Brooke's books chart, I stitched it on Oatmeal 14 ct Aida, and plan to make it into an ornie, as soon as I find some cute fabric to back it with. I used floss and beads on hand, so it is not exactly as the pattern reads.

Little Finishes

My first Lizzie Kate chart, a cute little Tooth Fairy pillow, I made for my little friend Jessie, she loved it, It will look adorable in her perfectly pink room!

General Store~A work in progress

Another work in progress, this is from Told in a Garden...The Country Store...

I made the terrible mistake of putting it away in the hoop, for longer than I care to admit. Im hoping the hoop marks will come out. I plan to put it in a stretcher frame to complete, hopefully that will help.

Grandchildren Cross Stich

My latest work in progress... A sampler for my mother in law
