I stitched this for a swap--a fellow Pretty In Pink lover.  We would both have chosen Duckie.   He had a much better fashion sense than Blaine--as noted by the rad shoes he wore. 





Thanks as always for taking a look.

I finally got around to stitching up some the awesome Tara McPherson patterns.  I stitched it on a linen I found at a thrift store with a cute crochet border.

 




I love the little stars.

Thanks for looking!

I finally finished this cross stitch!  It took me a while!!  I made it into a pillow with some colorful fabric strips and fun fringe.   Thanks as always for taking a look!! 

The pattern is from the January 2001 issue of Cross Stitcher magazine.

I made a cute wreath for my door for Valentine's Day!!  I bought the pink wreath at Target after Christmas for 25 cents.  I was just going to keep it until next Christmas--but since it was pink I thought why not make a Valentine's wreath!  I just made some little layered felt hearts and added some cute foam "love bug" stickers"  Simple but cute!  Thanks as always for taking a look!



And a little detail of the hearts and stickers

I stitched this pattern onto a Sublime totebag for my sister's birthday.  The pattern is from here <a href="http://www.colonialpatterns.com/product_info.php?cPath=88&products_id=1114&osCsid=74f5bd7b3b486f9994311d0cc00c3803" .  I'm really pleased with the colors and how it turned out!

I made this for my sister's birthday.  The pattern is from "Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments 2010 (Vol 28, Num 6)"--originally meant as a Christmas ornament.  I changed some of the colors and to make it not just for Xmas.  I think it's totally cute...

I stitched this on a towel for myself for Thanksgiving.  It's from the great Holiday set from Aunt Martha's.  I thought it as really cute.  Thanks!

I've been wanting to do these for myself for a while now--finally got around to it.  Debating on whether I want to make them ornaments or put them in little frames.  Hmmm. 








Thanks as always for taking a look at my stuff.  You guys are great. 

I've started my Christmas gifts.  Like last year, folks will mostly be getting handmade things this year.  I've started with these two sweet patterns from Aunt Martha's; Little Angel and Choir Boy.  They will probably be made into ornaments. 

I thought she needed to be stitched in cotton candy colored thread. 

He's too cute. 
Thanks for looking! 

I totally love these bizarro Julie West patterns.  Finally got some spare time to try them.  These will probably be made into ornaments also for Christmas.  Thanks!!
