Can't believe I haven't had any crafty finishes










So I haven't been stitching, or scrapbooking, or beading BUT I have been gardening lol. We finally got the giant queen palm tree in our front yard cut down. Harry (my husband) told me to make sure I don't pull in the wrong driveway now. Listen I only did that once and it was when we bought the house lol.



I tore out a large 4'x6' patch of grass to start the new plant bed. While out there working my behind off the neighbors seemed to be interested in why my front yard was being rearranged lol. One came over and asked what I was doing I told her my plans and she said will I come design hers next. I laughed then realized she was serious lol.



I also took some new pictures of the kids while they were riding their scooters in the front yard last weekend. They are growing so fast. I took some pictures of the neighbors DD and now she has hired me to do a family picture of her and her daughter. I am excited as it is my 3rd paid Photography job.


Shay and I also did some mad Geocaching last week. On Monday we got 15 and on Thursday we got 20. I wanted to go tomorrow but my allergies have gone crazy and I don"t think it would be wise to go trekking through the woods lol.

Halloween Ornament Exchange

This is the ornament I stitched my exchange partner. and the card I made for her. I was dissapointed that my partner didn't follow through on her end but still enjoyed making them. The Witchy is by Sanman Originals.




Monochrome Finish and a WIP

I am almost done stitching the top one. I just need to dig a couple colors out of my floss box and do a border a squirrel and a tree. Below is my monochrome finish that I just love. And I did it in of course blue because it is my favorite color. I only have a few other projects in my WIP pile and have 3 more projects kitted up. I will kit up 2 more when I finish this wip.

LA Christmas Samplers


I forgot to post these finishes last week. I can't think of a way to finish them yet so they will go in my completed projects bin until a bright idea hits me. They are by Leisure Arts.


2 Christmas Ornaments

Here are 2 more Ornament finishes. I don't know if I will keep them or give them away. I love Prairie Schooler Christmas Trees as you can see from my 2 tree ornaments. I have a few other things I want to finish up before Christmas so hopefully will be able to post more after the holidays.










2 Ornament Finshes

Here are 2 of my 4 ornament finishes. I haven't gotton much stitching done because I have Tendinitus but I have been trying to get some things finished up. I like piecing them together minus covering my hands in glue. I didn't do any fancy backs just some hand dyed cotton fabric.

Ready for Turkey Day-Gobble Gobble



Well 2 days after Halloween already and I have my house ready for Thanksgiving. I even have my turkey in the freezer lol. I spent today cleaning and am feeling like things are finally getting organized. I stitched this Turkey while watching TV one night. He was a fun stitch. I just didn't know how to finish him so left it as it for now. This was a Bent Creek Zipper chart and I used DMC threads on MCG Textiles 28ct Khaki evenweave. Now to finish making some ornaments to add to my ornament tree this year and to send to my Ornament Exchange Partner.
