Finishes for ME!

Well i have a few finishes that i stitched for ME! and a couple that are actually "finished". LOL

Here is Halloween by La D Da from this years JCS Halloween issue. I stitched this one on 28ct vintage autumn gold over 1 using WDW Charcoal and Terra Cotta. I used the whip stitch (biscournu finish technique) to make this into a little pillow. I used the pack of needles next to it for scale.

I have also stitched and finished up Salem Witch by Primitive Needle. I stitched her on a scrap piece of fabric over 2 using DMC. She is finished into a pinkeep, the pins are just straight pins with different beads added to the pins. i like how she came out.

Practice Sampler by Milady's Needle i finished stitching about a month ago, just never took a pic of it. I really like how this one turned out and will probably frame it in a black frame or a mahogany color one. I stitched this one on 40ct v. autumn gold over 2.

Yesterday while having a bad day healthwise i had plenty of time to stitch so i stitched up this cute little breast cancer freebie. It is Hope by DMC, i stitched it on 30ct off white linen using Strawberry Shortcake by Carries Creations Threads and dmc black. This will probably become a pinkeep. This is a very quick stitch, just a few hours to do.

On the exchange front, i rec'd my fair & square halloween round from Jill F. last week. I really like the squares she stitched for me and am thinking pinkeep for them. Thanks Jill!

The next exchange i rec'd today from Kirsi in Finland. This is from the Lizzie Kate Exchange Blog the 2nd Round. Kirsi stitched a few different pieces from different designs and made 3 different finishes. I LOVE them and they are already in the craft room! Thank y ou sooooo much Kirsi!

And last but not least, a newer pic of the pups! this is from the other day when i actually was able to get them to sit still for a minute for a pic. LOL They are getting huge, almost as big as mama. Bella is on the left and Fannie is on the right.

Exchanges, exchanges

I am still here, just didn't have a camera to post. Hubby was out in the woods hunting for Elk (he got his, woohoo). He is now home and i have my camera back. whew!

I have been working on exchanges and more exchanges lately. I have a few i can share today and a few that i cannot yet.

here is my f&s halloween round from Marie P. Marie stitched this great witch from a PS pattern. I am sure it will become a pinkeep. Then i also rec'd my f&s round #9 from Lynda A. Lynda stitched this great piece that is in my favorite color, purple and this will definitely become a biscournu.






Well, i will be back with more pics later.

A Quick Finish Tonight

Well, i received the chart Long Spider from a friend today in the mail and started and finished it tonight. It was a very fun and quick stitch. I had a piece of 28ct banding in my stash, it was only 12inches long, which is the size of the pattern. I altered the pattern a bit to make it fit and it turned out great. Hopefully the pic turned out ok, i took it with my cellphone, DH has the camera in the woods for his hunt. :(



I also finished my Halloween fair & squares last night and they are in tomorrow's mail, so no pics yet of that one.

DH left today to go Elk hunting until the 21st of the month, so just the kids and me. we will be busy though, Dustin has soccer starting up and Caitie has a softball tournament all weekend long across town. So i won't be bored, that's for sure. LOL I plan on stitching on my Whitman Tin piece tomorrow, the bottom half that i just haven't finished yet.
