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!

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!!
