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!

NEW SCISSOR FOB

I made several new scissor fobs for my Etsy shop a few weeks ago.
After I made this one, I liked it so much, and realized it would
match my Gingher Cheetah scissors, that I had
to make one for myself.
After clipping it on my scissors, I was really pleased
with it.

Thanks for looking,
Layne

NEW WORK IN PROGRESS

I have started something new.  It's not really
far enough along to post a picture yet.
It is Santa's Got the Goods

by
Lizzie Kate.
This was her Santa '08 Snippet.
I'm into simple lately....what can I say,
I'm getting too old to enjoy the more
difficult ones.  A lot of the
Lizzie Kate designs have always appealed
to me.  I'm finally taking the time to do some of them.
Check back later for a picture.  I'll post one as soon as I get
a little more of it stitched.
