A few pictures to share

I went to Yankee Cross Stitch the other day and changed my display table from Christmas to flowers.
I have on display the Funky Flowers and a huge wool flower pin cushion that I made.

I also finished designing Stitch An Inch Spring and almost finished with Blueberry Hill. They should be available by the end of next week.

I will post peeks soon but for today I am sharing the photos from Yankee of the new display and the huge wool pin cushion.

Oh and yes my  Christmas Cactus is in bloom and Tobey posed for me so I could show how big he has gotten since Christmas :)

Have a wonderful day

New Home For Funky Flowers over (1)

I finished the framing for the 5 Funky Flowers that were stitched over (1) with the frames from Old Colonial. I needed them to be all together so that I could send them on trunk shows and not get lost. I hope you like it.

My mother just happened to find this frame for me which had a small inspirational poster in it. I took the poster out and went to the paper store to find something special  that would go with the colors. I needed it plain so it would not take away from the stitched flowers. I found a green(Just the right shade) and a brown corrugated cardboard that matched the brown in the frames from Olde Colonial. I glued the framed pieces down and thought that the in between spaces were to plain. So I got out my handy friend "the Wool" and I cut some circles, gathered them, stuffed and added lines around them. I also cut out leaves and stitched lines for the veins and of course dots for the theme of all the Funky Flowers. Then I glued them down and I am happy with it.
So just an idea to spice up some framing.

My classes are up and posted at Celebration Of Needlework site

We are waiting for our snow storm. We had snow before Halloween and then we have had no snow until tonight (so they say). Getting things from the store that we need and then I am getting ready to have a stitching fest. Yeah. But I have become addicted to a game on my Nook. I am making a zoo(I purchased the game on my Nook for my grandson but when he is not visiting he needs someone to take care of all of those animals, right ).  I need to stop :(
But here is the link to the site. CELEBRATION I would love to see you there
And dont forget this is the last day to use your coupon on Etsy. Last day of the month. AMAZING

This made me smile this morning & a reprint of a freebie.

I received an email from Daniela and she shared with me her photo of a freebie that I gave away on my blog. She finished it as an Easter ornament. It looks so cute I had to share it with you. She did a great job.

Here is the chart again if any one would like to copy it.

PICS!!

Happy Saturday,
It was my B Day last weekend and I wanted to share what my daughter made for me.

I just love it. A picture of us from my sons wedding and all of the things that i love, like birds, leaves, flowers, and of course the color GREEN!! with a touch of mauve. And it is 3 dimensional.  It was the best present ever. I just love handmade.

Yesterday was mail day for me. I ordered some wool from an Etsy shop called "Quilting Acres". I just love her selection of wool. Just the right sizes and not priced to high.

And here are the 3 classes that I will teach at Celebration of Needlework

I have a Link on the sidebar that says to click on the window and you will be directed to my blogoshere. I just had to many blogs that I love to check out so I made a blog just for those. I am always on a search for the interesting.
