Scissors Fobs at Etsy!



I have had lots of fun lately making scissors fobs! I started with a few leftover charms from Isabel's Vacation Bible School, where they made little fobs to hang from their backpacks. Next thing I know I'm in the bead section at the craft store and adding lots of pretty little beads to my collection! I have a few for sale at Etsy, take a look if you are interested! I have lots more coming cuz this is almost as addicting as cross stitch!!

Fairy Flora update


I worked on Fairy Flora last night and got some more of the side leaves done. I can't believe how addicting it is! The top picture is my messy studio. Elinor is my latest folk doll. She is getting ready to go to her new home this week as her auction closes on Ebay tonight.

Fairy Flora



Look what Nicole started!!
After viewing her progress on Queen Anne's Lace, I started looking at Lavender and Lace designs, Mirabilia, and one I've never heard of before Passione Ricomo. I actually ordered a new Mirabilia design called Shimmering Mermaid to stitch for my DD Chelsea-who loves mermaids and fantasy designs.
Then I went into the WIP archives and pulled out Fairy Flora yesterday. I actually located the threads and beads much to my surprise! I started this design probably around 1996! I had a great time working on it yesterday. Isabel went crazy when she saw it! She had never seen this kind of stitching before. She said," Mom this is the best stitching you've ever done!" I started this design before she was even born! Ha! HA!' Hope I can finish it before she goes to college!!

Watermelon needle book







I stitched this for my secret stitcher in my local EGA guild. I love how it turned out. I stitched her initials on the back.
