Finished embroideries
Posted Tuesday, November 17, at 3:40 PM
I realized today that I hadn't posted in a while and that when I did last post, I showed something I had been working on that I have since finished.
It's a on a tote bag that I bought from Sublime Stitching, who by the way has a bunch of super cute embroidery patterns. This took a bit of work to finish, I used some glow in the dark threads in places as a little surprise should I ever use the bag in a dark place. I had originally planned on using it for groceries, but it took so much work, I don't want to wreck it...
I also ended up embroidering a bunch of sugar skulls, some with glow in the dark threads, some without. I LOVE sugar skulls! Most of these are going to be turned into spring/summer purses or make up bags - well, make up bags if I can ever get the hang of sewing zippers (any pointers would be much appreciated).
I also started and finished, but there's no picture of the finished product, yet...This is on a tea towel with small and smaller Russian dolls going up one side of it. It's part of a gift I'm working on for my mother-in-law. I hope she likes it.
Farm Town I think I am addicted to Farm Town on Facebook. I don't really know why, since it's not very complicated and there isn't really much to do other than click on different fruits and veggie to plant them and harvest them...I think I just like the satifaction of being able to delete eveything and replant it in a bunch of different configurations...
Good-bye friend So, last week my husband and I noticed that one of our cats, Bosie was acting strangely. He was being very affectionate...which for him was strange. We'd been having a lot of problems with him terrorizing one of the other cats for about a year. I wrote about it when it started, here...
Move over hexagons, it's embroidery time! I've put aside the hexagons and the quilt in the making for the time being to work on an embroidered gift for a friend of mine's birthday. I made her a set of embroidered tea towels (and a purse, but I didn't photograph that yet). I thought I'd share some of the pictures, since I think they're really cute. The patterns for the embroidery are all from the same place, Sublime Stitching...
Nobel Peace Prize! This morning when I woke up I noticed that a friend had texted me that Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. On one hand, I'm pretty excited about it. It's nice that the international community is recognizing that Obama has done some good and has the potential to do more...
Festival Of Trees and Holiday Bazaar at the Fly? I was looking at the Fly website this morning and saw a listing for their Festival Of Trees and Holiday Bazaar this December. Does anyone know anything about it? Also, do any of you know if the Fly has craft-y type fairs? The reason I ask is because I heard of a place in Huntsville, here, that sounds really cool. ...
touristy times Last week my cousin Julie was visiting from Montreal. Since she was here, I did quite a few touristy things that I normally wouldn't have done - like the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, but it was really fun. We had a great time with her and one of my dogs seems like she's going through depression without Julie to cuddle anymore. Anyway, I thought I would share some of the pictures I took at various places...
Will Ferrell video about healthcare I know this topic is really played out and we all have different opinions about it, but I saw this video today and it made me laugh. I thought I would share: Protect Insurance Companies PSA from Will Ferrell. ...
Non-American Politics As many of you know, Gabon, holds a place in my heart - not only is it the country that my husband wrote a book about, but it's also where, when I went over, he asked me to marry him. Anyway, the reason I am posting about this is because this past week there were elections held in Gabon. ...
