VIXEN

These reindeer by Nora Corbett are just too pretty and bright when finished. Vixen is finished for now (no border). One more of the original eight reindeer to go!

* * PRANCER * *

In all his sparkling glory! Just finished up the last little bits of snow under his feet. :)

Thanks to all for stopping by!

Dancin'...Dancin'.....

Happy Dancing - I put the last bead on my Mini Mandala Mystery II this morning! Remember all those Jessicas? Well, I did mine a bit differently than was charted. There are the Jessicas in the corners, the center and on top of the stems in the outer border. The rest of the pink flowers in the border are little Rhodes stitches.

Thanks for stopping by!

Eleanor

Done!! This little fairy is very sparkly!


(Geesh....and yes...there is a hair on her...not a cat hair this time...looks like mine!)

A little birdie. . .

This cute little bird has been stitched for a while..so I finally did the pinkeep finishing for it today.



The blue fabric is what I used for the back of the pinkeep.

Dainty Deidre is Done!!

I finished stitching on the last bead at about quarter to midnight...just had to finish her! :)



Say hello, Eleanor....;)

CUPID

All done!!

Done!

Here's my little Cassandra - all finished. I did not stitch the background or square outline for her.

...a little more on Ivy:

ANNABELLE

Lots of sparklies on this little fairy:


...and onto "C" (Cassandra). :))

TA DA!!!

MINI MANDALA 1

So sparkly!

I stitched on all the beads and crystals last night for Dancer (Nora Corbett, Christmas Couriers). A little close-up:

Something a little different...

I had a piece of "panel fabric" from Kathy Schmitz with some houses on it. I have had it for a while and just could not decide what to do with it. But now, I have decided....I bought a tote bag pattern last week, as well as some new Kathy Schmitz fabric. Now the regular tote bag pattern does not require a "panel" type fabric. You can use a few coordinating fabrics to make it. Take a peek! I'm really happy with it,

The houses are a bit brighter than IRL. Inside there are about six different pockets to store everything you might need. Here's another shot:



I can't wait to use it.:)

It's Done!!

Here's the final section of Souvenirs de brodeuse (minus the last couple of lines with my name...)



This is the back of the pocket just folded temporarily, until I can complete the finishing.

A Finish!

This is the Sampler Girl from Little House Needleworks. I finished her as a pinpocket. The braid is a metallic braid with the blue threads woven through it. It just matched everything so well. The backing fabric is, of course....my sampler fabric! And the color of the fabric was just right, too! I stitched her over one on Lakeside Linen's Bittersweet. Here's the front:


...and the back...

Lost and Found

I was looking for something completely different and came across this design that I had stitched a while ago. I never finished it into the needleroll for which it had originally been designed. I decided to give my ribbon ruching (sp?) a try. Here's the result:



I had stitched it with Six Strand Sweets instead of the recommended fibers. I used Gloriana's silk ribbon (Raspberry Parfait) to finish it off.

My Needle's Work

Finally!! I only had her apron to fill in....and I need a strand of thread to finish my border. I had to frog my border, so came up a bit short with Hickory Sticks. I know I have some...just have to find which WIP has it!

Ozzie ~ Done!

....and here he is.....Ozzie, all done!

and the inside of the needlecase:

"Ozzie"

I'd like you to meet "Ozzie" the owl. This is Cat's Whiskers Design, "What a Hoot." I started this one late Monday night and finished it up this morning. I had originally started it on the required fabric, but really messed it up. So I restarted it on a larger count linen than was required. My needlecase will just be a bit larger than the original design.

TA DA!!

Here is my Mystery X -Secret Victorian Garden:


Mystery 10

It's Done!! It's Done!! It's Done!!

Mystery X, Secret Victorian Garden, that is!! Major Happy Dancing going on here!

No pictures, just yet....but in the morning when the sun is shining! :))
