Birds and Truffles

This is kind of a mish mash post- I have a couple other pics to add but don't have a lot to say about them. So without further ado... Some colorful birds. This was a European pattern that I found and I LOVED the colors. Pretty neat, eh?

And this is what might happen if you help me out with something- a "thank you" gift!

Until next time....

Futurama

Kicks ass. And that is why I made this for Cody:

This pattern was from a company called Wee Little Stitches. They rule! They have all kinds of cute nerdy stuff, it's pretty much heaven for me. You'll be seeing a lot more posts as I stitch more of their patterns. Golden Girls, Star Wars, Doctor Who... it's going to be amazing!!

Diner Update

The last post I made last year was on a diner cross stitch that I had started. Well, I've gotten more done! This project got pushed aside for all the baby stuff that I've been making the last 8 or so months. I picked this one back up recently, and here is the progress that I've made:

Man I love this pattern. I'll continue to update- hopefully the next time I post about this WIP it will be DONE!!!

Bookmarks, the Revenge

Hello again! I love making bookmarks while working on bigger projects because I tend to get burned out on the big stuff. Making (and finishing) a bookmark makes me feel like I'm still getting things done! Here is a round up of bookmarks I've made recently:

And here is one I posted a while back, but this time it's finished! See if you can see the metallic threads in this one!!

Up next: a diner WIP update! More than halfway done now!

Baby Stuff

Here is a birth announcement that I made for a friend this past year for one of the cutest little babies I've seen!!

I've made a lot of baby stuff recently because a ton of ladies at my work have had kids in the last couple months. I decided to try my hand at baby hats. Here is one I made from a fuzzy pink yarn that the baby's daddy specially requested. :)

I think birth announcements are one of the best gifts you can give a new family. It's something they can keep forever and it can be customized to the room's motif. Stay tuned for a plethora of bookmarks in my next post! Happy stitching!

New Year, More Posts?

Well hello there, bloggy readers! I see it's been almost a year since my last post. I'm hoping this year to post at least once a month, we'll see if that happens. I have plenty of things I've been working on, so what follows is an update of a handful of the things I've made in the last year (whatever I remembered to take pictures of, anyway!) I hope you enjoy. If you see anything you like, let me know! If you can think of anything you'd like to see me make, let me know! If you like exclamation points, let me know!!!!!!!!
