Ornament finish

This was done mostly in Dr's offices and the hospital waiting on hubby. I carried this in my purse and did maybe one length at a time. Then one day I went to work on it and could not find the thread. So I put it up. Then when I was switching the computer I found it. So I finished this up. Only took about an hour. Now the glue is drying on the back and I will cover it with felt or foam to make it look better.

Have a great day!

My Plastic Canvas finishes

I finished 2 plastic canvas sets this week. A coaster set and a tissue box cover. The pattern is from AdorABLEcrafts










Also have been working on Joan's Challenge I put it on a piece of 14ct aida that I stole out of a garage sale kit that I don't know if I will ever get done. Well it didnot come out square. The count is correct so that means the materiel is not square. Looks alright just is rectangle. Now I have to get it finished Was thinking about making it into a small pillow. Got to find some material for back and get it done today.

We just had rain with hail. Large pea size. Don't know where that came from. Was not even supposed to rain today. Although it is solid cloud cover.

Got to go as the ferrets want out to play for awhile.

What I have finished this month

I have been doing quite a bit of crafting this month. A little bit for Online Angels 3 granny squares in the Plain Jane Pattern (it came from Melissa's Crochet site). I also made some cross bookmarks. Next for an exchange I made a couple of Christmas ornaments then made all 3 in the set for myself. They are part of the Woodland Wonders patterns for the Leisure Arts Leaflet #1735 150 Extra-Easy Ornaments in Plastic Canvas Book nine. I finished my cross stitch bookmark the June Celtic Knot Bookmark by Ink Circles. And I did an elephant wallhanging the Lotsa Heart Elephant from Wendy at the Craftastic_Free_PcPatterns Yahoo group. This was for my elephant collection. Now I have to get busy on some more things as I am signed up for another Christmas ornament exchange although I may have that one already stitched. Will know when partners are listed. I also am signed up for a biscornu exchange in the Brooks Books Interactive Group . This will be my first biscornu so I hope it turns out good for my partner.
I guess this is all for now. Have a great day!

WIPs

This is what I am working on today. It is a bookmark on 14ct vinyl weave with red and blue mystery threads. The vinyl weave is some that I got at a garage sale last summer. Pattern is a freebie by Ink Circles the "June Celtic Knot Bookmark" from 2006. I omitted the 41 stitch segment in the center to make it shorter. Have been working on this when I wanted a change from my exchange items. It is small enough that it is in the bag that I grab for travel. One of the Yahoo lists that I read was talking about the back of their projects so the second picture is the back of this one. As for how I make the stitches it depends on the patterns This one combines both styles to make the pattern. I do like how it is coming along.

Video test

This is a short video of some of our ferrets playing.

Haven't posted here for a while. Been busy. Haven't finished any stitching lately. Just working on some small items. A stamped baby bib that I picked up at a friends garage sale. She just gave it too me as we were helping with the sale. Also a plastic canvas christmas kit, and a sunflower magnet in counted cross stitch. I also got a box of granny squares and a few other items sent to the Online Angels. I have more to send but have to wait till after Friday as I have to get some boxes.

Lets see. Got some good news at the Dr the other day. Have been trying to loose weight and since February I have lost 22 pounds. That makes a total of 40 pounds in the last 14 months.

Took DH to the eye Dr today to get a check up and he is doing good. Had no change in the right eye and minor change in the left. Ordered new lenses for him and will have them in about a week. Now he can get his Drivers license renewed as I told him to wait till after his eye appointment then he doesn't have to do the eye test there. Also tomorrow he has a Dentist appointment. Will be getting his bottom dentures religned and new ones for the top. It really is about time as he has had them since before he retired and that was over 11 years ago.

Well I am going to post this now and see if the video works.
