It took some reworking and some final touches but now the reticule stitching is now for real and absolutely finished and all that remains is the the assembly. I got the original design for the monogram out of this Dover book of monograms which has a monogram for every pair of letters. As I mentioned before, the original monogram wasn’t […]
Thank you, Rachel, for hosting the FFO Gallery! Such good motivation for that final push to finish projects! Here is my Faby Reilly “Let It Snow” biscornu. Whew! So glad to have this one in the books. I think it’s lovely though and am so glad I stuck with it. I found the sew-on Swarovski crystals on Etsy from Crystallized […]
Foxy is finished!! Hooray! I put off that tail for months because I knew it would be hard and it was! But I persevered! I had to redo it several times and thank goodness designer Becky Hogg gave plenty of materials. I wasn’t even close to running out. I must say I am quite pleased with myself and how it […]
I finally finished the stitching on the Let It Snow biscornu from Faby Reilly. It is beautiful but I did not love stitching it. I’m not going to list all the reasons why, I’m just going to enjoy that it’s done! I’ve made several biscornus so I’m expecting this to be a cinch to finish off. Hopefully you’ll see the […]
I finished the Jiffy crewel “I Love You!” Ornament. So fun! My baby girl picked out this one to do next so I will make it for her. She loves going on a rocking horse. Whenever we go to Hobby Lobby we always must plan for 10-15 minutes to ride the rocking horsies in the foyer. They are the old […]
Many thanks again to Rachel for hosting the monthly “Fully Finished Gallery!” It is an opportunity to show off fully finished stitches and provides great motivation every month to keep things out of the “drawer of shame.” (that special drawer or box we all have of stitched pieces that never get that final touch!) I finished up 4 small projects […]
Who else stays up too late when you’re close to a finish? That was me last night, and I’ve finished Jump Into Spring. The basket and 3 rows of special stitches were fun, and quick! Here’s my backing fabric and a little butterfly charm to dress is up. I felt like this design just really called for a butterfly! The […]
Welcome to the May 2020 Smalls Check In! I hope everyone got some good stitching in this month! How are things going in your corners of the world? We are not quite emerged from our isolation…mainly due to personal comfort. We are a bunch of homebodies around here! Maybe next month we will go out! Here is my small for […]
Here is one final FFO for this month, double dipping with Jo’s Gifted Gorgeousness link up, a little present for my Sister-In-Law! Ta dah! She loves gnomes and when I saw this little guy I knew I had to make it up for her. It is just one of those little kits by Janlynn. I finished it nicely for her […]
I have a some small finishes to share for Rachel’s Fully Finished Object Gallery this month. First I finished up the JBW Spring Bouquet needlebook. See why I wanted to get this one? It’s such a pretty thing! The finishing materials were included in the kit. The fob is a tiny version of the needlebook and I’ll make that some […]
