I finished mine as a pillow, but it could easily be framed.

Thanks for looking!

What I did last weekend

Was to join over 300,000 protesters on the capital mall in Washington DC. This is a picture of my daughter and I. We chaperoned 2 busloads of high school students. It was awesome!! Please don't be offended if you don't agree with my view. I hope you will just respect it as I respect yours.

Block 2 of Days of Advent

We are having another snowstorm here today-it really is pretty. I would like it so much better if I didn't have to drive in it.  :^)
  Here is my second block of Days of Advent. I messed it up and it is like 2 stitches to the right-I just left it and compensated, because I would have had to rip out so much. Hopefully it is not too noticeable. I really love the colors in this piece.

Needle punched heart

Here is my finished heart. It turned out to be too big for my needle punch frame, so I had to put it on my rug hooking frame. I love the colors in this one! Thanks Lori for another great design-it was super fun to punch!

Some needlin' and some punchin' !

This is what I'm working on today:

Its a needle punch heart pillow. The design is by Lori Brechlin. I love everything she does. Its fun to work with her prim colors. I spent a 12 hour work day yesterday packing pattern orders for my 2 new cross stitch designs-coming soon-and finishing up some other things. So today it was nice to have a clean slate and be able to pick up a project just for fun.
I also finished up a doll order that was sent off today. This is another Jane...

I enjoyed working on her. In fact I started a new doll just to keep the doll mojo rolling. I used my Elizabeth pattern, but I will embellish and she will not look like Elizabeth when I am done. Its nice to be in the studio(ok, bedroom corner) again!
