Teacher Scrapbook Mini Finish

I had so much fun putting this mini scrapbook album together for my sons teacher. I used DCWV School Stack and my cricut to cut the letters on the front. I worked on it here and there at night for a week. She loved it and it was hard to give it up! Tell me what ya think!

Beading and Bracelets

While playing with my beads making fobs I got the inspiration to make myself some bracelets to go with some new tops I had picked up. I need to shorten one but otherwise I am in love! Now I want to make more to match all my favorite tops!

Yeah I finished some Christmas Ornaments!

Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming..... I loved stitching and putting together these ornaments. The first one was a gift for a Christmas Exchange and the other 2 I haven't decided if I am keeping or gifting. Hoping to get a few more done before Christmas but have so many things to get done meeting that goal is up in the air!

2 more of my Halloween Finishes

The last of my Halloween stitching. Top design is by Pine Mountain and the bottom was a freebie of the internet. Both were fun stitches. I need to think of a creative way to finish them. I'm not into banners or framing everything so we shall see. ....hopefully by next year so they aren't sitting in a rubbermaid tub with the other 100 finishes I have in there!

Halloween Finishes #1

I figured i should probably start posting my Halloween and Fall stitching finishes before I start posting my Christmas Stitching. Here are 3 finishes in 3 days. The first and the third designs are freebies of the internet and the middle is Prairie Schooler. I love stitching for Halloween!

I'm feeling tropical in these 100 degree temps!

Today I just had to get some stitching done. I was digging through my stash and came across this mini Bucilla kit I picked up at Michaels forever ago. Started stitching and couldn't put it down. And I was still able to get some cleaning done before picking the kids up from school.

Instead of using the plastic frame that came with it I found this tuck ornament I bought of ebay to stuff it in. To me they seemed destined for one another :0)

Are you feeling Froggy?

Making mini albums is one of my favorite scrapbooking things to make. I picked up the album for $0.50 and the paper/sticker kit I picked up for $1. It was a fun album to make. I can't wait to gift it!

Vacation Stitching Part 2

Two more of my vacation stitching finishes. These were fun to stitch. Top one is a freebie from Lizzie Kate called Hello Spring. Bottom one is a Zipper Kit by Bent Creek called Summer. I didn't add the buttons when I took the picture.

Vacation Stitching Part 1

While I was in the mountains with no cell reception or internet service (I knew in advance) I had packed a bag of kitted projects to get some stitching done. I didn't want to being 1 big thing to stitch so I brought a bunch of little things that I could get finished up easily.

The top is a Lizzie Kate Freebie called Liberty. The bottom is from a Bent Creek leaflet titled Cold Snowman.

Wishing and Needing Fall-A Finish

So happy to get some stitching done. I was tired of looking at my stash and wondering why it seemed to be growing. It has been over 100 degrees here and the result has been some not so nice sun burns. I am waiting for fall to get here to sunny central FL so that it will maybe be in the 90's instead :0) This is Lizzie Kate's In All Things Give Thanks. Fun and fast stitching on 28ct evenweave using DMC threads.

Whoo Whoooo...I am so loving my owls

Yet another thing I am loving right now is cutey owls. I liked this pattern so much I stitched it twice. I an thinking of stitching it again in bright colors to make some cards for next spring. I left the border off the second on because I didn't have a lot of fabric and wanted to see it without it. Freebie design from the net. I think I have the site info somewhere so will post when I find it to give credit!

Brag Book Mini Scrapbook Album

I have finally got some scrapping done. I made this for a friend/co-worker as a gift for the arrival of her first grandchild. Paper pack is called Spring Fling. I almost didn't want to give it away. It is the size of a brag book.

Some Halloween finishes I did after Halloween. Both were quick stitches I did on lunch or while the kids slept at work. Both are on 14ct orange aida stitched with 310 black DMC. Top is a free from the stitcherhood and the Long Spider is from Annalee Waite Designs.

A Thank You Card Finish

Paper is DCWV The Green Stack and Thinking of You is Cricut Cartridge Alphalicious.

Prairie Schooler Pumpkin Ornament

I'm think I am going to make an Autumn/Fall tree because I just want to keep stitching these and making them into ornaments. I keep saying I will do a Halloween one but never get around to stitching them. So for now I will settle for the the season.

CHS-Quaker House Samplers

Yes Yes another quaker design...but this one has a house so I'm not entirely insane with quakers. I liked the colors because they were different from the other quakers I do. It's nice to clear out projects in my stash that have been in my todo pile. Out of 10 I have finished 5 in a little over a week. More room to go stash shopping now lol.

Prairie Schooler Ornament

I love Prairie Schooler. I never get tired of stitching them. They stitch up so nice and not that I mind backstitching but it is nice not to have any in these designs. I added a leaf button and light green ribbon that says Autumn on it in a darker green. Oh how I wish fall was here so I wouldn't have to be out in this almost 100 degree weather.....

Quaker Alphabet Sampler

This was a fun stitch. I couldn't believe it was done in 3 days of stitching. From Carriage House Samplings. The colors match my couches and curtains so I might actually frame and hang this one. Stitched on 28ct evenweave using DMC threads.

Quaker Finish-A Quaker Clock

I couldn't put this down I loved stitching it soo much. It was a nice 3 days of stitching. I used DMC for the whole thing.

A Small Chipboard Purse Finish

Another small chipboard I made for a friend. I might have to make another for me I liked it so much. I used a $1 album from Micheals and paper is DCWV All Dressed Up. My friend didn't want any embellishments just the basics.
