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,

I'm Back

It has been awhile since I have posted anything here.

Currently I am working on the new Loose Feathers, as well as making a couple of ornaments. I love the colors on the newest Loose Feathers and had to start it right away. This is my progress so far.

The only 2 ornaments I managed to finish this year.

This year my local EGA Chapter hopes to decorate a Christmas tree for the main library. This is one of the ornaments that I donated.

This ornament will go the Cath Lab at one of the local hospitals.

I will try to stitch and finish some ornaments next year. My list of the ones I would like to have done is growing, and growing and growing .........

August Recap

The month of August flew by. It is finally getting a little cooler here. The last week of the month I was finally able to finish Blackbird Designs' Flea Market Souvenir, a scissor fob for my new limited edition Gingher 'Glory' Scissors and a treat bag for my DS.

I started out the month of September by completing 2 ATCs that I need to mail. I have fallen woefully behind on my exchange. I would love to complete at least 2 more before this long weekend is over. Now I am getting ready for 2 classes that require pre-stitching. One is a new

class from Jane Timmers, Fancy Work and the other an on-line class from Jackie du Plessis, It's Fine-ally Finished. My local EGA chapter is sponsoring the class by Jane and Jackie's class is being offered through Lois at Elegant Stitch.
