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!

My 2 Works in Progress

To go along with remodeling the house I have thrown in some crafts to do in my down time. I'm currently working on this tinkerbell paperbag album. I am loving the way the flower turned out after all the work I put into it. It was easier than I thought. And I'm working on a halloween cross stitch freebie that I don't have a picture of because I just started it. There will be more to come though!

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)

Boo!! EEK Scream........Halloween!!!!

Can you guess what all those lovely paper packs are for!! You guessed it....Halloween mini albums. I pulled out the paper, the embellishments and my cricut so that when the kids go back to school next week I am going into full scrapbook mode (ok I can do the laundry and cooking too but that's where I draw the line! ) I picked up Ghost and Goblins and Harvest Gathering this week at Joanns (sad they were out of the sticker packs) and the other 2 I picked up last year after Halloween. Can't wait to get those creative juices flowing!!

New storage for my Cricut Cartridges

My sweet hubby picked up this great storage container for my cricut cartridges from Joanns. It holds 16 cartridges which is great because I mostly use my SCAL to cut on my cricut. This little diddy fits in my scrapbook bag so I can take it with me on my scrapping journeys!!
