Strawberry House

Finished the Strawberry House, it was lovely to stitch. Not sure how I am going to finish it yet, probably frame it.

Also finished my first pinkeep using a SanMan design (forum member's only chart). It looked OK until I scanned it now it looks uneven along the bottom. I will have to pay more attention when I make my next one.

Not sure what I am going to stitch next there are so many I want to do. I really should finish one of my WIP but I expect I will start something new.

Halloween Tucks

Here are the Halloween tucks from SanMan Originals (forum member's only charts). I love these and so do my boys they want loads and loads stitched for Halloween. LOL

Batty

A Halloween Tale

I'm going to give Halloween a rest for a while as I want to stitch Strawberry House by Little House Needlework. I want to try a pinkeep as well so I have found a little piece I stitched a while ago and will see how I get on.

A few finishes and a disaster

Well it's been a while but with the holidays it's been a bit busy here. One more week and the boys go back to school. I have managed to stitch a few things and finish a couple of ornaments I stitched a few years ago.



Halloween Jars by SanMan Originals(Forum member's only chart. The chart has writing down the side but my boys just wanted the jars. I'm going to make it into a banner. Just need to find some material for the banner.

Not sure who the designer is, but it must be from one of the JCS Ornament magazines.

Snowflakes falling by Rosie's Garden

Scare Who? by Sanman Originals (forum member's only chart). Sandy from SanMan also made the tuck, it's so cute.

I have also stitched a couple of little SanMan Halloween pieces, I'll put them in the tucks and show you them tomorrow. Now for the disaster...........

I joined a SAL on OakHaven Designs. I stitched the first part, stitched the second part and then I realised I had stitched with the fabric the wrong way! I cannot believe it I have never done that before. Oh well I will leave it a week or two and then start it again. It is a lovely design. Here is the disaster piece.

I'm going to do something with this maybe turn it into a fob so that it will be there to remind me not to do it again. LOL

1st Flatfold

Been a bit busy with the school holidays but I have finished my first flatfold.

I was very pleased with it and have a few more stitched pieces lined up to be finished this way. Here is the back and side view.

I wish I had known about the flatfolds and cube finishes before now.

1st cube

Well I did it my first cube and I love it. I used a Christmas Cookies by Sanman Originals (forum member's only chart). I can see a load of these being made for Christmas and Halloween.

I also made a Floss Tag with another SanMan design (forum member's only chart), a Halloween one this time.

I also remembered to scan the Frozen Banner, another SanMan design (forum member's only chart).

I have almost finished a flat fold as well, just need to put the braid on then I will show you.

Needles and Teachers

Well I have actually finished my first needle case, not perfect but I'm pleased with it. I added some wadding to make it slightly padded and added a pocket for my scissors.

I have also stitched the teacher's gifts, just need to get them framed. Best Teacher is by Glory Bee and Teaching Is A Work Of Heart is by Lizzie Kate.

Just got a couple of SanMan's I want to do then I am going to try and make either a pinkeep or a cube.

Flip Flops

Well I was not going to be beaten by that frog so I have finished stitching the flip flops and will make them into a needle case after I have finished the teachers gifts.

Jack has picked Lizzie Kate's Teaching Is A Work Of Heart and Tom has chosen Best Teacher by Glory Bee. Hopefully they will not take long to stitch as I want to finish the needle book.
