A Frame for my cross stitch

I used to cross stitch a lot.  Somewhere along the way, I got away from it, my lighting and seating changed, I got busy with other things.  You know how it is.

Since we got our new couch, I once again have a good seat with great lighting, and I've been back at it.

I've done a lot of wedding and baby samplers, and for myself I love to do houses, barns, buildings, etc.  I also like to do cats.

So here is the one I just finished - and I made this frame for it from the same fabric I used for my dining room valances.  Although I didn't put it in the dining room - I put it on my 'cat' wall in the sewing room.

Happy Stitching!

Halloween Costumes

When my two nieces were little girls, I made them Halloween costumes every year.  For some reason, I'm the one who still has most of them.  Now that their kids are getting to be the same ages, I need to give the customes to my nieces so their kids can play with them.

While I've been on this non-sewing for business kick, I made Snow White for one of the little girls.  As I got started on it, I bagan to wonder about my sanity - kind of like the year I made a fur rabbit, and sneezed for weeks.

I pushed through and now it's complete!  I think she will like it.

Now I just have to get it and all the other stuff packed up and shipped to them!

Until next time!
