Having fun with fabric painting and Embroidery

 


Yeah!! She is finally finished and she makes me HAPPY!!
Now I need to decide what to do with her, 
should I make her into a counted cross stitch design? 
But I'm not sure.
 I loved painting on the fabric...so maybe a workshop of painting,
 but I did draw her free hand on the cloth 
so I would need to re-draw here onto paper, 
Ugh....just thinking here!!
 Well I am planning on something for the late summer 
early fall so maybe she will be one of the options.
 And then of course a Fall design too.....
Oh my, well I'm off to think by myself HAHA
Have a good day

Colonial Home and Centerpiece Coming soon!!

 



I made a couple of 3D flower vases with fabric about a month or two ago and I loved them.
So I decided to turn one of them into a counted cross stitch design.
And then I thought oh!!! how about taking those same flowers
and adding them to a Colonial looking home.
I then took the same flowers from the vase
and put them around a little Colonial home,
and I came up with a place in my imagination to sit,
look out a little window and gaze upoon the basket of flowers in my front lawn
beyond my little white picket fence. I can see my big beautiful tree
with extra large blooms and vines all around.
So I enjoyed using my imagination to be in my fantasy home.
I hope you use your imagination with your stitched pieces
and imagine being in the middle of them
or if its a sampler how about living as the girl that stitched it in her Time.
Enjoy your day and keep dreaming!
:)
Design coming soon!!
