I've finished!!!

I finally finished my All Our Yesterdays Lighthouse today, and I am so pleased with it!! It's only taken me just over 6 weeks, and has stitched up a lot quicker than I'd expected!

It still needs framing, but I just wanted to share it with you in it's "just finished" state!!

Birthday Card for my Mother In Law

I did this card this week for my Mother in Law's birthday tomorrow, and I'm really pleased with the result! She loves Oriental things so I thought this design would be perfect for her!! I finished it by adding a square of handmade paper to add more oomph.

Update on my Lighthouse

I've done quite a bit of stitching on this the last couple of days.....and I'm pleased to say that all the cross stitch is done.....just the backstitch to go!! Yay!!! I hope to get it finished in the next couple of days.

And look what I received!!

This was made for me by my exchange partner, and I love it!!!! I chose Somebunny as I think he's adorable, and this gorgeous picture is now on my window sill for everyone to see!! It is beautifully stitched, and the frame & mount fit the design perfectly!!!!

Character Exchange March 2009

I have been involved in a Character Exchange on the Stitch & Craft forum which has recently finished. The posting date was Friday so I posted this to my partner. She chose Eeyore as her favourite charcter, so I did this kit for her, and then had the idea of turning it into a pin cushion. I'm quite pleased with it, as it's the first time I've ever attempted one!!

It's Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day to all you mummies out there....whether your children are little or big!!!

I've been thoroughly spoilt by my girls, they love making the day special for me.

I got a beautiful snowglobe from my eldest, and a big soft teddy from my youngest, along with a sewn card & a flower she made at school. They also gave me a card with a lovely verse in it which made me cry!!!

And they also prepared breakfast for me....with my darling hubby's help of course!

Mother's Day Card

I made this for my Mother in Law....I finished it at 11pm last night!!!

It's such a pretty card, the design was fun to stitch, and the pink card works well I think.

I finished it off with pink brads in each corner, it's the first time I've used them but I'll be using them again!!
