February Cottage

Just finished putting the last of the stitches in on Country Cottage Needleworks ~ February Cottage! I dyed this white Aida 14 count fabric with cherry kool-aid and am tickled 'pink' with the great results. So much in fact, that I am going to try dying another piece with lemonade flavor for the April cottage chart hitting LNS's at the end of the month.

True Love !

I stitched this one up just today...! A real quick stitch.
Sam Sarah Designs ~ Pearls True Love. Used perforated paper and will attach a ribbon flower instead of the button and use in a paperweight. I'll post pictures as soon as I have it together.



Chart is for SOLD!

Winter Sheep

Here's another quick stitch for the week ~
LHN ~ Winter Sheep. I stitched this on 14 count Fiddler's with DMC thread. Changed the red border to DMC #930. Changed the cardinal button to a stitched blue bird, added pearl metallic to the snow and snowflakes, changed the words to DMC #680, changed the star from gold to red. I'm happy with the changes!

Here is another quick stitch I did ~ again on a fingertip towel, no button as I want the receiver to use the towel. This will be for Mother's Day.

My latest WIP (Work In Progress)

As a motivator to get some of the few WIP's I have started, finished this year...each Friday I am going to post 'bits' of the current piece I am working on. Can you guess what this piece is?

Christmas

Here is my latest finish...just a plain hand towel with the pattern from The Sunflower Seed called Lil' Christmas. I adjusted the height of the letters to fit within the stitching area of the towel. No buttons will be added because I want the recipient to be able to use the towel.

Old Glory

This was a quick stitch by SamSarah Design Studio. I've got to look through my stash to see if I have a star button. I will probably finish this as an item on a scrapbook page with some other patriotic pieces I have laying around.



Chart is SOLD!

January ~ Cottage of the Month

Here's Country Cottage Needleworks ~ January Cottage of the Month! What a cute little series this is going to be. I added DMC pearl metallic to the white of the snow and changed the JANUARY to a darker turquoise.



I've ordered the frame from my on-line LNS (123Stitch) and will change the stitching out monthly once the series is complete.

Chart is SOLD!

Welcome, Sit, Stay!

Hot off the needle! Just finished this and what fun I had! Between the dog stealing my chart and ocassionally my fabric....it was all worth it! I think I am going to do a flat easel for the finishing on this one!
