BETTER LATE THAN NEVER...

I am finally getting around to posting a couple of pictures of the cross stitch WIP that I mentioned in my previous post.  Where does the time go!  This is entitled Old Wise Santa, designed by Fiddlestix, and published by The Design Connection.  I am stitching this on 28 ct Olive, Cashel Linen, and it is stitched with all DMC threads.  I haven't had a chance to work on it lately, but hope to very, very soon.  It is a fun stitch!

Thanks for looking!

Same amount of stitching, just two pictures with different lighting.



BUSY

March and April (up to this point) have been very busy.  First I decided to combine the two blogs I have.  I am not a very good blogger, so doing two was just not happening.  So now you will get to see all of my crafts in one place.

I have had a very busy "fob" month.  For those that don't know, I make scissor fobs and sell them on Etsy.  You can see them here www.etsy.com/shop/beadedfobsbylayne
I have sold a lot of my fobs the past four to five weeks and I really appreciate the folks that have placed orders.

I started a couple of new cross stitch projects.  One is a fairly simple project that I am keeping for sitting in the doctor's office, dentist office, and when we are on the road.  The other one is a Christmas one, actually a Santa Claus.  I have had the chart and fabric for years and finally decided it was time to get this one done.  He has a companion chart also, and yes, I have had the fabric for it just as long.  I will do it next.  I will try to post pictures soon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Definitely Not a Good Blogger

I'm the first to admit that I am not a good blogger!  I do, however, have an update on one of my cross stitch projects that I have posted before.  It is small progress.  The tree beside the house took an extremely long time to do and there is one on the other side of the house to be done.  Here's a picture and thanks for looking.

RECENT PROJECTS

I have been working on few custom projects for various people.

These are for a rehearsal dinner and wedding.

They have been fun to do.

NEW FOB

I guess I don't have to say that I am really way behind with all my crafts. I'm sure my lack of posts speaks louder than words. I did manage to make a new fob yesterday. I decided to make a Christmas-related one a little early, at least for me. I have painted a few things, not for sale, but custom orders. After a few finishing touches, I'll post pictures of these.

CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT

It's really hot here in Alabama and very dry from lack of rain.
I thought I would paint a Christmas ornament and just
maybe the temperature would cool off just
a little.  Well, you guessed it, it is still hot and dry.
It was 97 degrees today and is to get increasingly hotter
each day this week and stay hot next week.
Here is the ornament minus the wire hanger that I haven't made yet.
Thanks for looking!

WIP PICTURE

Well, haven't accomplished much, but it is some.  This is the Lizzie Kate
I referred to in the post below.  Maybe I'll have more
by tomorrow to show you.

Also, I thought I would post a picture of the latest card
I have made.  This is for a couple who just
had their first baby, a boy.

Thanks for looking!
