TGIF!

Whew!  What a week.  I haven't had time this week to visit your pretty blogs or do much of anything on the computer.  Work has been so tiring and my DH has been having some health issues but I do hope to get caught up on all your creativeness this weekend.

My friend Norma posted on her blog that she was making Valentine ornaments so she could have a Valentine tree.  I couldn't resist the urge to stitch her a little something and here is the result:
This is the February portion of Sylvia's My Little Heart SAL.  Norma has received it and already has it hanging on her little tree.  :o)

I also managed to finish my Christmas ornament for February.

Brittercup Designs from the 2011 JCS Ornament Issue
I had no idea it would be so difficult to finish this in a triangular shape!  It really doesn't have the same angle on both sides so it took some "easing" to make this work for me.  I do love the bit of bling the Krenik metallic red adds and decided to carry that bling out to the trim.

Wishing you all lots of stitching time this Superbowl weekend.    Who are you hoping will win?

Cold and Icy

Hello friends!  It has been cold and icy here this weekend.  Work closed early Friday and the ice was so bad yesterday we didn't even open.  I took advantage of the extra time and did the finishing on my With Thy Needle Friendship samplers. Victorian Motto cluny lace trim for this one. Chenille - again from Victorian Motto. I completed the stitching on this "Bluebird Serenade" and finished it up too.  I tried a new technique for me with the ric rac - I wove two different shades of pink together. See how different it looks?  Love it! And here they are, so happy together! I also spent some time with my sewing machine and made up these mug mats for Valentine's Day.  This is the January Label Crew project by Sweetwater. I had several scraps left over and since I am not one to waste such pretty bits... I used them to make these sweet fabric valentines.  :o)   A winner has been selected....

I Stitched!

Something about this series really appeals to me. I just love the look of chalkboards but they are so messy. This way I get the chalkboard but not the mess! I have an idea for my finish using this little chalkboard I found at Wal-Mart. I think with a bit of Briwax and some ribbon it will be cute. I just hope it turns out like the picture in my head. Stay tuned!
