Christmas is almost here. I was able to finish and frame Mother's Garden last weekend. I used the recommended fabric and fibers. While I was still stitching on this piece, I was on the lookout for a suitable frame. On one of my visits to Hobby Lobby I spotted a frame that was in the discount section that I thought would work. I think that it worked out very well.

Blackbird Designs: Mother's Garden

This isn't the best picture, gets dark pretty early an it was raining the day I took the picture. So this the best i could do while avoiding the flash and reflections.

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

The Needles are Moving Again

September is here and there is a slight crispness in the air. I am grateful for the cooler temperatures we have had the last few weeks.
I have managed to mount my Berrie Pyn Boxe in the lid of the box. I still haven't gotten the wool for the pin cushion yet so that will come later.

A couple of weeks ago a few of us from my EGA Guild got together to bead a Christmas Ball. The project appeared in the December 2011  issue of Needle Arts Magazine.

Here is my finished Beaded Christmas Ball. It was a lot of fun and a quick finish.





I have started BBD Mother's Garden.

Thanks for stopping by,
