My Other Finish From Yesterday...

"Bless This Home"
From Dimensions
Designed by Angela Staehling
Finished August 17th, 2014

 

So, I was a little busy yesterday with the crafting... To be fair though, there was just the backstitching in the quilt area and a few french knots left to do... I was motivated... And then I went to see Expendables 3... Busy day...

 

For the record, I am not religious in any way.... My stitching seems to be trending that way though... Weird... :D

Birthday Present!!!

"I'm Actually a Mermaid"
From CloudsFactory
Finished August 17, 2014

 

I made a pillow!!!! So proud of myself... This was hand stitched, because I really suck at using the machine... I think it turned out awesome, especially for the first time I made a pillow... Like, ALL OF IT!!!! I even had to do surgery of the pillow-form because it was round-ended, and I wanted rectangular... Yes, it's a franken-pillow-form... The back fabby is from Wal-Mart... I think it matches loverly... So excited!

 

Finishing Prowess = leveled up!!!

A Small Finish...

 

"Large Circle Peacock"
From Dimensions D.I.Y. Stitch Kit
Finished July 11th, 2014

Goodbye, my friend!

"Leap of Faith"
From Bucilla
Finished June 26th, 2014

 

 

Framed about 2 hours before it was given... Lots of time, right? I figured this was very appropriate, seeing as how this girl is going to the Yukon to serve in a remote community for 5 weeks, and then in the fall she's off to Alberta for Bible College... We spent last night with co-workers past and present, eating, and then hanging out around a fire pit and watching fireworks... She will be missed...

Easter Bunny!

"On The Hop"
From CrossStitcher Magazine # 277
Designed by Sarah Cookland
Finished April 12th, 2014

 

I wanted to do something quick and easy because I feel like I've fallen behind on my resolutions... This literally took less than an hour to stitch... I popped on some jump rings and put it on a chain instead of the silk cord the magazine calls for... I think it turned out really cute, and I will be wearing it to work for the next few days...

 

Until I go on my short vacation, that is... Yup! I've booked 6 days off around the Easter holiday... I needed some time away from work... This includes a couple of days with the family in Ottawa, so good times shall be had... Kicking the whole thing off with a visit to Port Huron and their lovely craft stores...

 

Just have to get thru the next 4 days of work...

Finished!!!

Only Finish of 2013...

"Pretty Dove Festive Hoop"

From CrossStitcher Magazine # 271

Designed by Fiona Crouch

Finished December 19th, 2013

 

Here's my only finish of 2013... A very small Christmas ornament I made after a co-worker gave me a jar of her delicious habanero jelly... Totally worth the exchange!!!

 

Not saying this was all I did last year in the crafty front... I certainly stitched on other things, I just didn't finish anything else... That's one of the goals I had in mind for this year; finish some of those WIPs that have been kicking around for far too long...

 

I am way more then 3/4's done with Morning Lake, which I started last year as a charity project... It's the next thing on my to-do list... I look forward to getting it off that list...



First Finish of 2014!

"Cardinal in Snow"
From Dimensions, Daydreams
Designed by Les Didier
Finished January 26th, 2014

 

 

I'm excited because this makes this year already equal to what I finished last year, and I'm hoping to do much better then that! This is a great start to that goal! Yay for me! :D
