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!
