Yesterday I finished stitching and put together this little biscornu. Its called Just A Thought by Judy Odell.  I used a really pretty silk floss from Carries Creations called New Vision for the variegated part of the design. I love the color. Then I added Mill Hill beads around the edges.




The little tassels are made from the same silk too. LOVE THEM:)

Thanks for stopping by, not sure I'll have anything for tomorrow. Have some finishing to do for other people.

So today the camera works fine with the computer???? Ok, whatever, at least its working again, lol.  So here is the picture of what I finished the other day. Its Barnabee in Bloom by Just Nan. The picture doesn't show his wings very well, they are a very sparkly tulle. This little guys only about 1 3/4 inches long and would have been really quick to stitch but I just kept making mistake after mistake and frogging over and over. He's actually pretty lucky he got finished :)

Yesterday I stitched this little cutie. Its called Santa's Helper from Mosey 'N Me. I did change it up some because I was getting tired of stitching packages so, my version only has one package, lol.  Today I put it together and made a Christmas ornament.



Today I've been stitching on something and frogging every 60 stitches or so and its not that big and its not complicated at all. I hate days like this, hopefully I will finish it tonight and post it put together tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping:)

Yesterday I stitched up Just Nans Running Rabbits. I really love this design. I think I like her older designs better than her new stuff but I like lots of the new stuff too:)



The fabric is actually light blue not the color it shows in the pic.

Then I finished up another of the stuff I've had stitched for awhile. This is Sonnenburg by Bright needle. I planned on making it into a biscornu but got lazy, I hate it when that happens.




I do like the bright colors on it and I love the little butterfly button.

Thanks for stopping to visit:)))))

Soooo, I haven't posted anything in forever because I just haven't been stitching. Not completely true, I did stitch two things last week and my plan is to make them into something this week. 

Well last Friday I picked up "And a Garden Grew" by Rosewood Manor and started stitching on it again. I kinda figured I could finish it in three days and guess what? You got it kiddos, its done...... :)))))))))  WOW, what a happy dance for me. I stitched this once before and never could find a frame for it.  I sold it and three days later or so I found the perfect frame. I bought the frame and started it again, 2 years later its finally done. WOOO HOOO!!!!

As you can see I completely left out the trellis, roses and words and just filled in with little flowers, birds, bees etc. I really like it.

Now I do have a problem though. I washed it in cold water and of course, the red ran badly around the two birds on the left hand side. The fabric has dried and my question is, if  I re-soak it in ice cold water and keep changing the water , will more of the red come out. Its pretty noticeable to me. Not that I wont frame it and hang it, I will but would love to be able to remove a little more of the red.  I thought maybe I could add a couple tiny butterflies if all else fails. What do you think girls? Should I try soaking it or is it set for life since it air dried?

Heres the pic............drumroll please, lol



I would love any input from you about soaking or not soaking it again.

Thanks for coming by:))
