The Finishing Weekend!!

Wow! Two projects finished!! I'm amazed I got it all done! Both projects are for friends and I am glad they turned out so well.  The first one is a needle book, my first attempt at one and I am happy with the results.  The second project was a pin cushion and I really like its simplicity.  Here are the photos.

28 Ct Evenweave Threads Desert Dusk Dinky Dyes

The pattern I used for the pincushion is from Aurelle's Blog which has a ton of wonderful patterns for biscornu but I decided that due to limited time, just to make a pin cushion.  Next week I will attempt to make a biscornu for myself!!

Take care and happy stitching!!

Kooky Tanglewood Dog Finished

Hello!!

I am sorry I have not posted in quite sometime.  I have been very busy and have not done too much stitching.  What I have done though is finish that funny, kooky tanglewood doggie who is all caught up in a ribbon.  I added the grass and thistles and only have two more thistles to finish.  I am still waiting on my other threads, the important ones, the tanglewood tree threads!  Hopefully my stash will arrive this week because I cannot continue stitching my tanglewood until I do (sad face).  So to tide me over until I get my threads, I began a new project.  I thought it would be good for me to try stitching a needlebook!  I have seen some beautiful examples of needlebooks and am not quite decided on how I want to make it.  I used a freebie from the Swappon site and was inspired by Lynn B's blog.  She has a wonderful blog that is full of great tutorials and she makes the cutest, prettiest smalls. Hopefully my needlebook will be finished soon. I am the queen of procrastinating finishing! Remember that lovely Valentine's pattern I stitched?!? Well, I still haven't finished it into the little pillow I planned to make.  I think I will make next weekend my weekend of finishing!

Take care and keep stitching!
