Pastry

Another pastry feltie tonight. I tried a white background with blue frosted seed beads. Sadly, you can't really see the beads against the white felt. In the future, I'll try a dark color for the 'frosting' so the beads show up well against it ;)

Until next time ^____^

English Pudding

I wish I had a holly button for the top of this one! Or maybe even a cherry button. (sigh) I really need to build a nice stash of buttons for my finishing :)

Until next time ^____^

Let Them Eat Cake!

Well, not really, but you get the idea ;) This is my experiment at a pattern in Jeanette Lim's Big Little Felt Universe book. The only thing I didn't do was the cardboard insert which would have given my feltie a bit more stabilization.

I wish I had a thread color that matched the brown felt more precisely, but it's all I had in my stash of DMC threads.

What do you think?

Until next time ^____^

PB & J

A little PB&J cutie even though I'm not a fan of grape jelly at all!

Don't Eat Me!

Isn't it cute? I found a template for an egg-shaped plushie online. I decided to partially stitch the egg on the top and then add some stuffing to it before stitching it up completely and continuing on with the rest of the plushie.

Are you watching the Oscars tonight? I'll watch as long as my eyes will allow....hopefully I won't fall asleep before the end!

Until next time ^____^

Feeling a little witchy!

Design: Witch House 1642 Salem, MA by Marion Dove Werth
Fabric: 28ct unknown light blue linen
Threads: DMC
Start/Finish: Sometime 2010, restarted and finished 2/7-26/2012

Good afternoon! I've been quite diligent about finishing this design this month. Since I'm waiting on my order of black felt circles for my felties, I decided to spend my time this weekend on the Salem Witch pattern.

I was able to put the finishing backstitches on the lettering at the bottom a few moments ago. As you can tell, the design isn't a large one, just a bit cumbersome with all the same colors over and over again....not to mention the ancient chart it comes from. I'm sure some of you stitchers out there know what I'm talking about when you have an older chart where all the symbols look alike, it makes for hard deciphering when stitching.

I'm so glad to be able to take this sampler off my WIP list on the sidebar! Woohoo!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Until next time ^____^

Breakfast goodies!

Another jam and toast feltie tonight and an experiment with making a breakfast pastry feltie. I used Mill Hill seed beads as sprinkles on the tart ;)

In other news, I found a seller on Etsy that sells die cut circles. I've ordered 1/4" and 3/8" circles to use as eyes on my felties. I'm horrible at cutting circles so I'm glad to have found someone on Etsy who sells them :P

Until next time ^____^

Package Received!

This year it seems that Valentine's Day crept up on me. Don't know why, but it did...possibly because I've been busy crafting and stitching....LOL

I sent my friend Amanda a small package on Saturday and it arrived in CA today. I sent her a cute red dragon, two books (The Masque of the Black Tulip by Lauren Willig and Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey by Countess of Fiona Carnarvon), a magnet menu/grocery planner, and a box of chocolates.

I'm glad you liked all your gifts, Amanda ^___^

Jam and toast

I took a break from stitching tonight to make this cutie!

Until next time ^____^

Sprinkles bracelet

I made this bracelet yesterday morning with sprinkles and Magic Glos resin. For those of you who don't know, Magic Glos resin is a polymer/jewelry resin that sets up in sunlight. It's perfect for bezel settings!

The only thing I don't like about this bracelet is the tiny air bubbles in the resin, but otherwise it's quite cute ;)

The bracelet cost me $1.25, the resin was $6, and the sprinkles were sitting on the shelf in the kitchen begging to be used >___<

Until next time ^____^
