New Project

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I got to thinking awhile ago that I want to take a stab at making my own purse. I saw one that Blu did on her blog over at Therapy by Thread. And now I want to take a stab at one. I got turned on to this Korean company called Soda and I've wanted to do one of their patterns for awhile now and I figured it would make an adorable purse! But now I need to figure out which pattern I want to use. I've managed to narrow the field down to 7! Now if you all can be so kind and help me pick one, I'd forever be thankful! Otherwise I'll prolly still be sitting here deciding which to use a year from now.

Also it seems that a lot of people are having trouble posting comments to my blog. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Christmas Cards Finally!!

Here are 17 of the cards I made. I still have two more that need last minute touches and then ill scan them... Think i'll get them out before Christmas Day?!?!?!?!? On the envelopes I also did some stamping. I think most of them turned out really cute!

Christmas

Well I haven't really been able to stitch too much really. Right before Thanksgiving we found out my dad needs to have bypass surgery. They all kept saying they were so surprised at how well my dad is considering how bad it is (we found out he has to have five bypasses). But yet they didn't schedule the surgery til tomorrow (Dec. 8th). So I have been trying to just do what I can to help dad. I have managed to get a few more Christmas cards done. Which I will scan and post them all cuz most of them turned out lovely! And I did manage to do this Kyo pattern that Dawn gave to me. (I guess mojo designed it). I tried to see if I could fit Yuki next to him but hes too big. I wonder if I can shrink him down? Well i'm packed with stitching stuff to sit and try to do tomorrow in the waiting room. Wish us luck!

It has occurred to me that I have never scanned and posted Mokona finished. So here it is. I got the pattern from Dawn over at Anime Stitching.

New Template.

I know its a little early but I had time to search and find a new background for Christmas.

Contest

I entered a giveaway at Be-Stitched. You should enter it also. You don't have to have a blog to enter. It's for a gift card worth $75! Thanks Erynne your so generous!

Batch 2... Christmas Cards

So here are some more of the Christmas ones i've gotten done. I'm kinda upset it seems that some of the ones I picked out are too big.

Christmas minis

I've also decided to make my own Christmas cards for kicks this year. Yes Emily you can pick which ever one you want. Here is what i've stitched so far. I have some Disney ones to do also.

Mom's birthday present

Well my mom's birthday is Nov 17th so I decided to make her a bookmark.

Finished Car

Dad loved his car I did for his birthday. Here it is finished.

*sighs*

Well i'm back. My boyfriend accidentally broke our brand new computer. It cost another $300 just to fix it. I'm so upset about that. Then to make it worse I lost everything! And I mean everything! Teach me not to backup my stuff again. I can pay another $120 and the computer place can get my stuff for me. But who has the money. Well since i've been gone I finished the car for my Dad and he loved it. (i'll have to scan it later so I have it on here) I've also started and almost finished my mom's birthday present. And i've decided to make my own christmas cards this year and have done 4 different ones already. (i'll also scan them later)

Just Backstitch

Yay! I got all the stitches done now just to do the backstitching. I would of gotten more of the backstitching done yesterday but I hurt my shoulder working out. Just a few more days til Dads birthday.

The Cat & Harbor

Well Eleni & Yapani (John's mom and grandma) got their stitched pieces yesterday in the mail. Eleni was so happy and his grandma just loves her Greek harbor. I'm glad they like them. Well I almost have the car completely finished I need to go pick up some more 817 (red floss) and get the colors today for my next project which is for my mom's birthday.

Break from Car

I had enough with red, so I took a break from the car and stitched this small autumn pattern. It turned out pretty good on black.

Another Car update!

It's moving along very nicely. I am getting very sick of red though. But i'm pretty much done with all the red. I did take a break and stitched more on Mokona. Believe that's pretty much done. I do need to sit and try to figure out how to switch the '58 in this pattern to a '59.
