Ladybug

I was able to get this little ladybug finished into an ornament yesterday afternoon. Originally I had planned on making it into a fob but I miscalculated the length of my cording so the result is an ornament.

The ladybug is from Summer Fobs from Heart in Hand. I stitched it on some 28 count white fabric with DMC threads.
I did work on ES a tiny bit until I ran out of DMC 3045. I will probably work on ES some more later today.

Tomorrow I will be starting a new project. I will be stitching Summer's Magic from Dragon Dreams with Renee. What a better way to spend Mother's Day....relaxing and stitching one of my favorite designers designs.:)

Have a great day!

Tin Exchange for Amy

My tin exchange for Amy arrived at her house over the weekend. The design is from Heart in Hand. When I came across the pattern I knew I had the perfect fabric to finish it.

Today I have been extremely lazy! The biggest thing I did was cook dinner tonight and even that was just hamburgers. This also means I have been stitching for most of the day. Last night I started a small design from Full Circle Designs called Life's Journey and I am about 30 minutes away from finishing it. I am planning on finishing it into a needleroll tomorrow.

I'm off to continue my lazy day! Have a good night.

Gift for Hazel

I heard today from Hazel that my gift for her has arrived safely. I was beginning to get concerned as I had sent it almost 2 weeks ago. Luckily, it arrived safely and now is residing with Hazel. I hope she enjoys it half as much as I enjoyed stitching it!

The design is from Heart in Hand and called Summer Fobs. I really fell in love with this one right away. I will have to make one for me soon. If you look closely there are a few mistakes but that is what gives it character:)

I worked on Geisha last night and I am proud to say I finished all the cross stitching on her! Now all I have left is to stitch the trees/leaves in the background and the backstitching. Yippie! I will more than likely work on her again tonight:) I want to finish the background stitching before I put her away to work on Above the Clouds.
