Rather disappointed

Rather disappointed on this one,
actually not in the work
itself, but rather in the
fact that the pencil
that I used for marking the
pattern did not wash out 
as it should have.


Had thought I would send it to a friend
that loves cardinals, but
not now, really, not now.!

French Rose


Tell me, what is not to love about
Trish Burr's French Rose.

It took my breathe away the
first time I saw it.


It is in her book Colour Confidence
in Embroidery.

Framing

So, I spotted a cute idea
over on Pinterest
that I wanted to give a 
shot for pumping up
the framing on
my projects.



Here's a closer up of the top
two.

And the larger one.


It is simply fabric wrapped
around the embroidery hoop.
Decorates it a bit and
adds a little color.

Something I did earlier


I did this maybe a month ago
and am just now getting around
to sharing it.



Just something a little different from what
I had previously done.

A Simple Card


I use to make our Christmas cards
for several years.

But the past few years, it seems like 
cards are not something that 
people do much of anymore.

So, I am selective about how many,
and who I send them to anymore.

Here's a simple one for a friend.


I hope she likes it.

Birds of a feather

 I just finished this cutie pie and have to 
say that I just love him!!

Then I had to pair him up this
little guy.


What could be better??

My official favorite

This one goes along with the last one,
so small, maybe 1 1/2 in by 1 1/2 inch.


But THIS ONE is officially my favorite!

How cute is that!

Finally finished off

I finally got around to finishing off
a couple of my projects.

Kept it real simple.

Think I'll give these to a couple
of friends.

Something a little different

Isn't she cute? 

She's from a reproductions
from a vintage postcard.

The one I've been working toward.....


When I first bought
my first book 
by Trish Burr, this is 
the project I fell in love with.
What is not to love about it, right???

Yep, officially my favorite!

A quick, simple project

It has been a while since I 
picked up a paint brush
so I decided to
give a little project
a try. 

I had seen some something
similar on Pinterest
and wanted to give it a try.

Stepping up my game


So I moved on to the next level in 
my projects from Needle Painting Embroidery
by Trish Burr.



This is my fourth project.  I am loving
how those leaves came out.

A non-paper contribution....

I decided to expand my
hobby/craft horizon lately.

I am trying my hand
at crewel embroidery
Trish Burr style.




Not too bad for a first timer I think.

Trying something a little different

I decided to try something 
a little different for me.

Not just a scene but
a little vignette using
so many stamps.......

Not even finished


I haven't even finished making this one
into a card yet, but I just love it.

I have ordered some of the new 
releases for this year and
still have some sets from earlier that
I need to use.  Don't you
just love mixing and
matching elements
from different sets.

Additional

I did this one at the along
with the previous ones, but
just now getting around 
to finishing the card part.


MFT Dome Stax die set, I don't remember
who did the Smile, and the bling is from
Doodlebug.

Who doesn't love sleeping puppies??

Birthdays

I had a couple of birthdays
coming up at the end of
February and the first part of March

I tried something different on each.


This is the Peony die set from Altenew.


And this one is from some stamps
from Art Impressions.

My Addiction

Ok, so I free admit that I have an addition.

But it's not a bad one really.....

I am addicted to Art Impression stamps...

I ordered several before Christmas and
they just released some new
ones for this year...

Of course, I had to order some of those
as well.

I am in love with this truck set.


They also had a doors set and
a window set.


This is one that I ordered before 
Christmas and I'm just
getting around to using it.

Another Altenew Love

WOW, I just think Altenew
has stepped up their
game on these last 2 die sets.

This one is the
Peony Dream 3D Die Set.


Have you seen anything so pretty?
Just think of the combinations
of colors you could do 
on the flowers.

Love it!

I am in love....

We are always looking for inspiration
from somewhere.  I watch a lot
of YouTube videos, and one of my
favorites to watch is Jennifer McGuire.

One of the videos that I recently
watched of hers, she used a new
die set from Altenew.

It was love at first site....


Rose Flurries 3D Die Set
This one I simply used cardstock
to cut the flowers out and
the one below I used Kuretake
Watercolors to paint the
paper, then cut the flowers.


I think I will be using these a lot!

This little Peony Cottage from
SVGCuts.com
I made for a friend,
just for fun.
