Brighter Tomorrows

So yesterday I actually sat down and stitched. I haven't actually stitched since I made that mistake on Brighter Tomorrows... I thought I could live with the line being down one extra... but I guess I couldn't subconsciously since it took me awhile to pick the project back up and work on it. I decided to try and leave it alone though. I stitched in the next line of verse and it looked bad...



So I frogged it... rip-it rip-it



And after another couple hours of watching the old movie Hook that I recorded on my DVR, I ended up with this....



So off it goes in the mail!

I haven't posted in awhile. I was kinda putting off working on Brighter Tomorrows. Instead I made this pattern.



And then stitched it into two different pins to wear. The right one is complete cross stitching, the left one is completely beads. I'm thinking of making another with the darker pink as beads and the rest stitched. I'm going to send one to Eleni with her Brighter Tomorrows (once it's finished) and i'm going to start wearing one and I was thinking of throwing the third into my giveaway.



On the Brighter Tomorrows topic. I buckled down yesterday and worked on those stupid beautiful flowers. I only have one flower left, the butterfly, a few leaves and a couple more lines of the words. I screwed up one one line and put it one square too far down... but I think I can live with it, so its staying.



I also started working on my Lizzie Kate meow and woof flip its. The meow is done but i'm not sharing til the woof is done and I have them framed.

I also painted a flower pot. We went to a local green house orchard about a week ago. And John really wanted something green in our living room. So he picked out Irish Moss. It's actually really pretty. It's suppose to bud small white flowers. After I painted the pot and put the plant in and water it, the next day it got all bumpy. Dad says its cuz of the paint. But it actually looks pretty cool.













And of course the new moon is today so here is my TUSAL jar. I'm starting to think I need to find a bigger one!

Breast Cancer pin

This is what I managed to work on yesterday once we finally got home had dinner and after I spent some time with John playing our mmo (massively multiplayer online). I changed the pattern of it just a little bit and i've only got a couple rows of white left to fill in. Now the question is... Should I backstitch? The pattern does not call for backstitch. But i'm just not certain it has enough pop as a pin. Decisions decisions.
