Messy Rabbit Finish

Just added those last few stitches tonight, while watching the Red Sox! I stopped at Joanne's Fabric and picked up some cute fabric for him. I think I'm going to turn him into one of those no sew cubes and display him for Easter! I'll post a picture of the cube, when finished. Don't hold your breath waiting, it takes me sometime to do the finishing. I have a project I finished stitching last December and still haven't done the finishing work. It's ok, there is still 4 months til Christmas!

WIP~ Potting Shed

Here is my WIP~ Potting Shed, I haven't been stitching much on this, as I've been busy stitching up a pair of ice skates and crocheting. The ice skates are almost complete,so I will be able to continue on this WIP.

Thrift Store Find!

Look what I found yesterday at my local Thrift Shop. Its in perfect condition, not even opened!

Best craft item I've found there yet!

New Arrival

Look what just arrived in the mail! I cann't wait to stitch them!

I can not believe all the different color of DMC floss that are used for the Christmas Chickadee. I think I'll be changing colors after every stitch! How can something so small contain so many colors!!!

I just love the holiday season!

Granny Squares

Yep, I've started Crochet again. I've been busy stitching Granny Squares to make an afghan. I have trouble with my arm, so I'm limited as to how much I can crochet in one day, so this will take me sometime to complete, but I will be worth it.
