What I have been up to!!

So while I have been home I have been "finishing" up some projects. None of these are actually to completion but they are close enough for showing!

Hairy Coo! I have to find some fabric to put on the
back to finish off the keychain.

Cross stitch fun!

So my blog has been fiber-less for a few days... Not anymore!! Here are my things to do with needlepoint and cross stitch!

Some new designs I am doing in my "spare" time.
Yeah I know I have a coo theme going on!

Some thread heaven!

My sample from John James Needles. I was going to have a Mary Arden Petites
but "cough" out of stock so they sent me more JJ petites. LOL.

So in order: Gold plated, Mary Arden Easy Threading, Threaders, JJ petites, and the Quick stitch twin pointed needles.

What about that random grey scale needle point, PPk? LOL. Here it is! I haven't updated the counter...yet.

Sometimes you get tired of stitching every other stitch a different color so I moved on to BIG blocks of color!

Hope you have enjoyed this first of many updates today!

Done: Flower Pincushion

So I got a new magazine called Cross Stitcher and there was materials in there to make a "vintage" pin cushion. I am not the best hand sewer anymore (I used to take sewing lessons but they were more for using a sewing machine). So... please forgive the hand sewing on this but I think the cross-stitch came out nice enough! Took me two days to complete.

Here is the pincushion in all its glory. It has a purple felt bottom.

Close ups of the flowers.

Done: Needle Point (Cross-Stitch)

So my mom was going through her stash of cross-stitch patterns. She has just as many of those as I have of yarn and fibre (well maybe I have a bit more). I found this one and whipped it up in an afternoon. I am very ADHD about cross-stitch and these small projects are good for me. Especially, since I mess up... a lot.

I think it looks nice. There are two different greens (sometimes
blogger does not like subtle changes in color).
