Some Finishes

Monday, February 16, 2009

Happy Valentines to all my readers. Hope you had a great one. Here is the card and plate of cookies I made for Dennis. I used the quilling for the blue hearts and cross stitched the heart a while back.

Dennis had a few finishes this week. The photos don't do them justice. The deer was a freebie from a blog I either ran across or some one led me to it in one of my groups. Freebie

I finished this one on Saturday (2-14-09) night. Barb I hope this puts a smile on your face and great memories of your friend come through it. This was such a great joy to work on but I'm glad it's done. 3 weeks stitching one piece is a little overwhelming for me at this time in my life. Haven't decided yet what it will become. I thank you if you left me a comment about your thoughts on this piece. Think between you all and Dennis I have concluded that this piece is a January thing. not ready to give up Christmas and ready for Valentines Day

Until next time Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments. Love you all Lot's.

Finish, start & a gift

Monday, October 27, 2008

OK as if I don't have enough WIP's to do right now I started another one. I plan on having this done by Christmas 08. I was gonna do this one on a yellow fabric but wouldn't ya know that's the only color I don't have. didn't want to go to the store so I went with a green and red glitter.

Halloween Addition by SanMan Originals. You will not find this one online. This was from the group secret shop and you have to be a member to get anything from there. Sorry ladies. This will be my last Halloween finish of the year.

Next up you should really click here and read what Lillie wrote about this. She is so funny and kind.Kerobi Made it here on 10-27-08 and he sends Hugs and Kisses to Textoad and his Auntie Lillie. Kerobi had lots to tell me about his travels here though he didn't see daylight for many day's. He said his papers cleared customs just fine and he is now enjoying his new home. He got a sniff from the kitties and a big hug from his new mom then set on the shelf where he will watch over my stitching and bring me lots of luck. The other photos are of him as he first got some sunlight and then all the stuff that was sent with him along with his travel bag.Thank You Lillie is really all I can say.

Now if you have kitties you know you have to give them gifts from time to time. Well Lillie provided them with one this time...LOL...LOL

Show and Tell

Thursday, July 31, 2008

This is how I decided to organize my special floss's such as SSS- WDW ..ECT.

With the help Of My sweet Friend Lillie I added to my stash and the kids got a Necklace from Malaysia. I got a meshuring tape hand crafted by Lillie And some Chocolate goodies.. Wahoo
Guess she figured it would take me a while to get this done for myself. Thank You Lillie.

Close up of pattern.

Other stash added by me just because I want to stitch it next year.

Stash I added because I was 1450 post winner on ESC. Wahoo that was a fun contest and I'm glad I can be a part of such a great group.

My stitching project for July 30 & 31. It's a SMO Doddle and I used WDW - Independence and DMC - 930 on the hearts in the center + the boarder. This will be ornament 5 of my 4Th of July tree.

I'm off to stitch some gifts so they will not be shown for a bit. Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my goodies with you.

Gifts to & New Finish

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

This was sent to Sue V. my Book mark exchange partner in ECS. Sue I'm glad I got you as a partner.

This was just received by Lilly in Malaysia. She was my only PIF person in 2008. Lilly Thanks for doing this with me and you are most welcome.

Here it is Day 7 completed.

SMO, 14 count Aida
Hand dyed fabric in light blue and outer edge of dark blue. This one was very fast think it took about 4 days to stitch. Very nice color combo though you wouldn't think it was a Christmas design until you read it. I love how Sandy brought together the Valentines colors and the Christmas saying.

Day 8 done!!!!!!!!

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

Day 8 is now complete and joins all the rest in my drawer till I deside what to do with them all. This was a fun stitch and now have to wait till next month for the next one to start. I changed the outline color of the bear as to show the detail better. You really can't see much from this photo. Guess that's why I never became a photographer by trade...LOL

Friday morning I got up and started my first bookmark. Got all the stitching done late in the afternoon like around 5 pm or so. Saturday I got up and put the backing fabric on and stitched it all around the edges. This is for a Book mark exchange with ESC group so I'm sorry there will be no more of this one shown till it has been recived from it's new owner.

Personal news and stitching

Saturday, May 03, 2008

I have been doing temp jobs for the last 7 years all the while wanting a more permanent position but not finding one. About a year and a half ago I got this job working at a cell phone packing plant. I have done various jobs at this plant and then about 4 months ago I was sent to the cage. Here I refurbish what phones I can and send them back to stock. About 2 weeks ago the department changed and the supervisor told me he was gonna make some staffing changes. I kinda knew what this meant but wasn't totally sure. Well a few days later he asked me to fill out an application and so I did. 1 week went by and I heard nothing then Wednesday 4-30-08 he handed me a paper and it read.
Dear,Ms. Bowers
We are Very pleased to be able to extend you an offer of employment With Cinram Wireless LLC. We believe you will make a strong contribution to our team and look froward to working with you.

Date of Hire: Mothers day
Position: Recovery Tech
Compensation:$10.25 per hour.

Friday I went and did my drug test and have orientation scheduled for Thursday 5-08-08
I normally don't like getting personal on my blog but this was just to big for me not to tell.

Another SanMan group freebie done. Finished this on Friday 5-2-08 so that makes 8 so far this year. I really fell in love with this one though I don't even know why. I don't like the color green. Done this on a hand dyed pink fabric I dyed for some valentines stuff. Guess I'll have to dye some more for that. Oh well. I used the Focus on finishes blog to guide me through this one. I was gonna make it into a book mark but found out it was to wide for that.

This is a SAL I was doing with Cherie but other then the final finish it's done. We agreed to do this about 2 months ago. I stitched mine for her and she is stitching hers for me. For the final finish I was thinking pillow but now I think I wanna do a wall hanging instead. I would like to be able to see it hanging where I stitch.This is contingent on Cherie's opinion.

My weekend wrap Up !!!!!!

Sunday, April 20, 2008

I worked on this one for just a little while this weekend and then I went out and played in the flower bed. Photos of that next time.

This was my quick stitch project for this weekend.Did this in two day's but have not made it into an ornament yet. It's a SanMan group freebie and a very easy stitch. The gadget laying across it is my brand new Boo Boo stick. If you don't have one I highly recommend you get one from here

So Come on little Froggie I'm ready for a reason to get out my new Boo Boo stick and show you how it's done...LOL...LOL
I also added to my stash this pattern and soon on it's way is my Stitch Opoly game. Wahoo !!!!!

I've been so good this year about not buying patterns so I figured one wouldn't hurt.

Lillie Sticks again..Thank you bunches. I had forgotten that she told me she was sending another Birthday gift. She sent BF some spices and this great bruise and pin cushion. Thank You so very much I love them.

Just my quick stitch weekend project. It's a SanMan ornament all finished up. This one was a fun stitch.

This morning I got a polymer clay bug and this is the result of it. A little froggie sitting on his Lilly pad looking at the ladybug and flowers of spring.

Last but not least this is my newest WIP. Day 9 for the SanMan originals group SAL. Not much done yet but not much stitching time this last few days.

Stitching Monday

Monday, March 31, 2008

Lillie is such a good friend but she's funny too.She felt bad that she had not gotten this in the mail in time for my birthday but it doesn't matter to me. I got it just the other day and love everything very much. I have tried to e-mail but think they are getting lost in cyber space so if your reading this Lillie Thank You so very much.

My gift included a little kitty charm with holder, A pattern from my wish list, some blue floss, card stock, a kitty phone book and best of all she stitched me a little kitty in a basket. I bet this one behaves much better then the 4 I have running around the house right now.....LOL

This is how I spent my Monday afternoon. I made the cording for this too and that's the first time for that. I think It turned out good. It's a SanMan Original design and was very fun and quick to stitch. Now I'm gonna go and collapse on the sofa and go to bed. I have been racing the clock all day and it's time to stop. Hope you all have a great evening.

MARCH is A good month

In the mail on Monday I received an envelope from a good friend Lisa S. You can see what I gave her for her Birthday on her blog. Now her gifts are always wonderful but I really think she out did herself on this one. It was a PIF/ Birthday gift and I am thrilled to have been the recipient of it. I'm glad our Birthdays are in the same month as well.

Now I can say I have my own private stitching room. The card was hand made by Lisa s. and it's outstanding.

This hanger was also in the envelope and as you can see it holds my MA just fine. Oh but I'm gonna need another one if I get any more MA.. (Hint,Hint Lisa)..LOL

Thank you Lisa for the wonderful envelope and all that was in it.
Thank you also for another Year of Friendship it means the world to me.

Guess what I finished Day 10.
Messed up on the blues so it's not the right colors but I like it this way. It kinda makes it different from all the others...LOL
This is the 3rd one in the SAL so we still have 9 more to go. I'm having so much fun with this SAL with the SanMan Originals group.
