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.

Exchanges completed

Of the 4 exchanges that I mailed last Friday, 3 have arrived safely to their new homes. One is still on its way but it is going to Canada so will probably take a little longer. This one was a biscornu. The first one I ever made. I will post pictures when I hear that it has been received.


The first one was matching coaster and magnet to Becky in the PlasticCanvasClub on Yahoogroups. The pattern was free from Mountain Harmony Creations I also made a set for myself.


This next one was to Chris for the same group. For a stitchers choice magnet. I made one of my Round Tuits. This one was my pattern. Instructions are here


This one was Christmas Ornament for Carla in the yahoogroup meadowspatternpalacefreeforall. I will also be sending a matching pair to Meadow for a charity that she is doing. The patterns was from a booklet called "Deck the Halls" (Copyright 1996 House of White Birches). They were part of a set called Cheery Winter Ornaments by Adele Magavero. I did the Snowlady and Snowman.


Well that is all for now. Good night all.

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!

Update on Patriotic Exchange




Well my partner finally received the things I sent. So here are the pictures. The star coasters came from crochetmemories . The Round Tuit I just made myself as I didn't have a pattern. Used a 3inch craft circle and just used the colors I wanted for the exchange. And for the poem I did a search on Goodsearch for "A round tuit Poem" and just used one of the poems I found.

~ ROUND TUIT ~
How many times have you said:
I’ll do it as soon as I get around to it!
Well, now’s your chance, now you can do it.
Now, at last, you’ve got “A ROUND TUIT!”
