sorry to post this so late I have been uber busy 

thank you for my hoop mlookyloo1

I've done lots of little embroidery projects for several swaps that I would like to share with you all 

First up is a little gnome and mushrooms. He was done in a 4in hoop as a christmas gift for a hoopla swap partner. this was a direct design I copied off of her wist and she loved it 



this is the other piece I sent the same partner its in a 2x2in frame (one tiny hoop swap)



Rudolph the red nosed...Hedgehog?! he was done in a 4in hoop for a swap partner


Zombie Santa!! also a swap hoop, he is in a 4in hoop, the edges are stitched and the insides are color pencil. the fluff on his suite and hat are batting that I glued on. I love him and my partner loved him too 


tiny mustaches! done for a swap partner in a 2x2in frame


this one is the one I love the most because I made it for my husband. The wolf is his favorite animal and he was deploying to afghanistan for a year so I wanted him to take something with him that would remind him of me while he was gone. I made this for him and he folded it up and kept it in his chest pocket all the time <3 Its about 2.5in by 3.5in


let me know what you think of my projects    C&C always welcome!

ok so I have a crazy amount of embroidery to share! I've been stitching and stitching and not sharing, shame on me  Hopefully you will enjoy looking at my pretties 

I stitched up the sloth for one of the hoopla swaps my partner was sloth003...I was late sending it because I went in to labor with my daughter and had to finish it in the hospital! lol its almost completely split stitched, back stitched and satin stitched.
The different shades of grey in the body were done by taking a few different colors and making them one strand. I really wanted him to be special.

hooped up at her new home


This green ferret was done for a good friend of mine, its all split stitched and the words are back stitched. Green is her favorite color so I did him all in green

all finished with text and ribbon wrapped around the wooden hoop (the text is the her tag line on her email)



these next ferrets were stitched up for christmas presents for my ferret friends, turned them in to ornaments. each one is a different color combination.



this one is modeled after my dearest friend Florences ferret Zeus (he was my boyfriend <3 he would come out of hiding every time I came over and give me ferret kisses every time I saw him) this is true to his coat color, he is a "champagne" color


the ratty I stitched up for myself because rats are one of my all time favorite animals. It hung in my rat room above the cages until all my girls passed away. now it has a place of honor on my hoopla wall. <3


thanks for looking! hope you liked them all 

Did I mention Im plus sized to begin with AND was pregnant when I made this dress? lol
    suppose I didn't considering that would make my title entirely to long! 

This dress was born out of a lack of things to do and an intense urge to make something for myself, which I rarely have time to do.

I looked at my stash, pulled out an old bed sheet and started working. I wanted the top to wrap because Id been eyeing a shirt in that style so I took a stab at it. It was all really eyeballed honestly. I made a circle skirt and with the left over fabric (it was a king size sheet) I made the top and attached the two. there is a long wrapped belt part that I made from the top part of the sheet and from making my own bias tape (which was CRAZZZZY and wont happen ever again  lol) but I love that whole thing because it hides all the flaws that I made in attaching a wrap top to a circle skirt.

anyhow here it is! thanks for looking

C&C welcome

Im a bad girl! I recieved on monday and havent posted because I have been feeling bad and also having to take care of a friend who just had surgery on monday too.

Im not gonna lie...I cried like a goober when I opened it! I love love love it and it means a lot to me.
I am about to have a baby, and to make a long story short, this child is a miracle...shortest version is Ive been told since I was 16 I couldnt have a baby and we concieved this child 2 weeks after my last chemotherapy treatment...

so here is the little hoop...


and this is the larger hoop...and the one that had me sobbing like a baby!


here is a close up detail of the letters (they are amazing!) and of the hearts!


thank you so much pjherbert, you are amazing!! (and Im gonna stop talking now and finish your second hoop so I can get it in the mail monday!! ) (*slacker*) lol

HUGS thank youuuuuu!!!!

whooot!!! AHHH!! Im sooo excited!!! got my angel package from pinkmichk today!!

ok so are you ready for the awesomeness?!

here is the whole package:



ok so first is a set of edible cake topper! might have to make dr who cupcakes very soooon!!


I got 2 sets of Dr Who themed jewelry and I love love love them! and I got the most crazy awesome Dalek keychain, which by the way I have wanted forever!!


a great little tardis stuffie that is wearing a bowtie, cuz bowties are cool! and a tardis tissue holder!


and a tiny tardis tote bag!!


she also sent some awesome candy

thank you soooooo much for being my swap angel!! I LOVE everything!! you ROCK my socks!!

ok friends I havent heard from my partner but the DC# says that she recieved a week ago and I asked padfoot what to do so she said to post pics of what I made

ok so here goes!!

I found some 8x10 canvas and have never painted on canvas before so I figured now would be a great time to start! lol
I decided to do the Fob Watch that the Drs soul was trapped in...


the bulk of the package was composed of 3 reusable shopping bag totes that I painted/stenciled images on to. Here are all 3 bags together:


bag one was a tardis...didnt come out as crisp as I would have liked it, but I think it still came out good


bag two is K-9. I made him with some shiney paint and I outlined him with silver to make him come out really nice


last bag was made with the recycle Dalek image in lime green shiney paint!


I always feel overwhelmed by craftyness when I think about Dr who so the package got bigger! Imade a silly little box that I painted blue and wrote WWTDD on the top (what would the doctor do!) did get a pic of that thought 

Ambermoony has the steampunk tardis t-shirt on her wist and so since I already stenciled the bags I didnt want to do more fabric so I got the canvas back out and made my version of it the paint is gold and silver, so its shiney and looks great!


and since she has a little boy I made this jacket for him
front


and back


I had a fantastic time crafting all of these things and I hope she really likes everything  I also sent some extra cloths for her little man that I planned on crafting on but I didnt get too

Hope you allllll like everything!!!!
