I was going to post last week...but I kept putting it off because I figured I'd get these sweet witches & kitties done. I'm sure you know how it goes each day passed without me getting enough time to finish them. Well last night I finally got them done.... with one small exception. The witch on the far right is missing her little basket of goodies for her potions. I ran out of baskets but that's not a big deal because she's staying here with me. I always make dolls that I love and want to keep myself. :0) The other witches and kitties will be going to family members with the exception of two....they will be listed in my Etsy shop soon. Anyway I used a lovely pattern from Pam Gracia "Soft in The Head" called "Elvira Stump & Winthrop". I have always loved Pam's creations and I'm proud to say I own several of her originals. If you love these sweeties and want to try your hand at her patterns check out her website http://www.softinthehead.com/ .
I also finished these three Easter pincushions..they're for a few Easter baskets. I loved the way Rene's turned out so much I decided that I needed to make a few others. I stitched them on Osnaburg with DMC threads and then stained them with walnut stain. You can get the free pattern on Primitive Betty's blog http://primitivebettys.blogspot.com/
Finally last of all a work in progress. I've been working on this beautiful cross-stitch since last October. It's a Notforgotten Farm pattern http://farmhousenotforgotten.blogspot.com/ called "Salem Village". It's been taking me so long to stitch because it's 40ct linen and man is that small....good thing I have a daylight and bifocals other wise I don't think I could stitch it. I love how it is looking though. Plus I have to admit I've put it aside to do smaller projects. I hope to finish this sweetie soon though and have it hanging near our fireplace....maybe even over it...who knows. Well I guess that's all for now. I hope all of you are doing well and that we'll see you again soon. Take care my friends. :0)
Hugs,
Theresa

You have been so busy. Everything is wonderful and I sooo love the witches!!
ReplyDeleteYour witches and kitties are so cute! That is a lot of work! The Easter pincushions are very nice, I love the walnut stain on them. That is a cute pattern, but I haven't tried it yet. Your Salem Village is going to be beautiful when you are finished with it! A lot of work but it will be worth it when you see it hanging by the fireplace.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific week~
