SHORT UPDATE

Not a lot to report, but I do have an updated photo of Good St. Nick.

A little more progress on the at the bottom, of the houses,

trees, and soon-to-be snow.  There would have

been more to show if I had not had to take

out most of the reindeer.  All but one

of them had a stitch left out that caused everything

below them to not line up.  Got that corrected and moved on.

CROSS STITCH UPDATES

I have been enjoying some cross stitch time lately.  I always have multiple stitching projects going.  It is easy to work on many and never finish any.  I had started a new one and thought I might not have allowed enough fabric for framing; however, it seems it will be ok.  I got frustrated with it and put it up and pulled out an old one that has been packed up.  I'm glad I did.  It is easy stitching and a nice break from some of the others.  Since it is a Christmas project, I can definitely finish it in time for December 2013!

 

This is Prairie Schooler, Good Saint Nick.

 

 

The next picture is an update of a previous posted project.  It's coming along.  I had to take

a break from it, but there is really not much left to do on it.  It does have a

companion one that I will definitely do when I finish the first one.

Below is an updated picture.

 



 

Well, that's it for today.  I need to get busy!  Maybe I will be back soon with a finish to show you.
I did get a couple of new fobs made and listed in my Etsy shop, BeadedFobsbyLayne. 
I have a few more laid out ready to string.  I'll post pictures of them later.
Stay warm and stay dry!

GHOSTS

I finally made some progress on the next project.  These little guys were so cute, I just

had to make them.  I came up with my own faces for them.  It's

amazing what you can do with measuring spoons, measuring cups, and other various

things you have in your kitchen.  I will be moving these outside to the

front porch soon.  For now, they posed in the kitchen to have

their picture made.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking!

PUMPKIN PATCH

I finished the first set and I think it turned out pretty neat.  This project was really very simple, but just a little time consuming.  I'm currently doing a second set for a friend.  Hope she likes them as much as I do.

 

 



MESSY ROOM

Yes, a very messy room!  When you start to run out of work surface, it is definitely time to clean up.  It's hard to swap back and forth between beads and other fob supplies being spread out and paints, wood, brushes, etc.

 

Today before working on any projects, it is time to clean up, pick up, and put away!  That is where I will be for a while this morning.

 



NEW PROJECT IN THE MAKING...

This project is close to completion.  Just a couple more things to do.  I'm hoping it will turn out really cute.  It is super inexpensive to do.  That makes it even better!  Will post an After photo as soon as it is done.

OUT THE DOOR

A little background for those that don't read my Facebook page...I have been making and selling scissor fobs to a needlepoint store in Connecticut for a few months now.  The most current order shipped this past Tuesday and hopefully have arrived safe and sound.  The store is having a trunk show and guest artist there today, so maybe most of the fobs will sell also.  This was the fifth order I have done for them.  This one was five Halloween and five Christmas ones.  Picture below.

 

 

 

Thanks for visiting!
