Cross-Stitch & My Non-Art Skills.


Preview of my next cross-stitch project. My mad drawing skills as well.

Popcorn is my 2nd favorite snack. Ice cream being my first favorite. I'm thinking of stuffing the felt popcorn so it pops out a little bit. I'll have to see where this project goes. Usually I run with things and figure it out along the way. I like having complete control over my project and hate directions.

I have a few other things I have created embroidery wise but have not update the shop with them yet. Hopefully I get time this weekend to do that.

Have a great weekend everyone!

New Etsy Layout.



I am so in love! My amazing and talented friend Dawn created a new Etsy banner for me and avatar. I love it completely. Just had to show off the new threads for my Etsy shop. I will now stare at it a little bit longer and then head to bed.

I also won a great giveaway over at Magnet Games Flickr account. She has a amazing Etsy shop as well.
What I won:


The hearts were hanging out with me for Vday.


The magnets are now on my refrigerator right next to a picture my niece drew for me.

Happy Vday & Swaps.


I'm early but I wanted to make sure not to be late! Happy Valentines Day to everyone. This lovely V-day photo card is from one of my guinea pigs Ethie.

Oh! and below are the items I worked on for my Etsy Team: Etsy Tea Party V-Day Swap. I haven't heard yet but hoping the swap partner enjoyed them.

Crafting.

Here is something I just finished for my sister for Vday. I know it's late but at least she can have it hanging all year long.
The pattern came from St. Vicious Blog. Amazing artist and she was offering this as a PDF V-day card. I thought it would look amazing with embroidery work.


Oh! Here is my recent tattoo. I love it completely. MyPaperCrane's husband Tom. He created the design and did the tattooing for me. He is a amazing guy just like his wife.
I have another tattoo planned as well. Oh and I'm sure my mom will find out somehow. She hates all of my tattoos. I love you mom!
