EVERYONE GATHER 'ROUND!! Come out of hiding to fall in love with what PJHerbert made!!



The most beautiful, sunshiney, colourful, vibrant, DEE-LISH-EE-US!!!! looking quilt ever! Did I mention how bright and happy it makes me?





Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I love it!

Hi guys! I got word from PJ that she received my quilt on the 5th, but she's got some family stuff going on. So I'm going to post a few pics.

I was really nervous, because this isn't my usual style. But she said she likes it and I hope her little grand daughter (who it's for) does too!


A butterfly, in a collage, crazy stitch, kind of style. My themes to go with were butterflies, pink, and purple.





Some detail shots of the wings.

I actually had some spare time while at work, so I'm posting pictures now instead of tonight!


Wonderful work funthreads, thank you so much!

What a cute design!


These ACTUALLY light up!! There's a battery pack at the top!


Love the tongue!


The stitching, is it free motion? Those intricate stars look awesome!

Thanks so much!

Had a little fun with some henna last night! It's basic, but I thought I'd share anyways.

I tried out a super fun design on my nails!




Oink oink!

Just received a great hat from Miss Barbara! Thank you! I'll post pictures later.

This is the wonderful slouch beret that Miss Barbara sent to me! It fits nicely and matches perfectly to a bolero I received for Christmas - exact same yarn! How AWESOME a co-incidence eh?





Thank you Miss Barbara! I love it!

Hi there! I made this skirt for phnxreign99 in the January Birthday swap!

It has a crocheted flower that I made in layers to attatch to the wrap around. The wrap around is bias tape I made out of some quilting cotton.


The skirt is a basic full A-Line skirt with an elastic waist. It has a retro feel I think!


Thanks for looking! Love to hear what people think.

This is the wicked awesome cell phone case that sweatereyes made for me! I love love LOOOOOOVE it!!

And she sent some cool cards with it too!


And Embroidery floss!


And a lovely card complete with yoshi eggs!


Thank you so much sweatereyes! It is a lovely birthday package! I'm very lucky.
