Queen, Buzz, and more!

Hello!~~  I hope all is well with all of you!  

First up, a couple finishes---

Winter Wonderland, Primrose Cottage, stitched on unknown blue evenweave with DMC floss.

Queen Bee bag by Shepherd's Bush, lilac colored mesh bag, DMC #5 pearl cottons, JABCO buttons.

I had some bee charms, so put one on the zipper pull.  SO cute!

Buzz mini bag, also by Shepherd's Bush, lilac colored mini bag, DMC #5 pearl cottons and JABCO buttons.  And yes, another bee charm on the zipper pull.  These were so much fun to stitch and worked up really fast!

Some ric rac I found at Joann and Hobby Lobby.  Left to right, silver metallic, gold metallic, orange, 2 shades of pink, 2 shades of an iridescent metallic, gold, and white pom pom trim.

Found these at Hobby Lobby,  Heart charms (3 in silver and 3 in gold - may have to go get more to make earrings with!) 2 bee charms, which the colors match the next finish, and paw charms in crystal and silver.  They sparkle so much!

Bee My Valentine by Primrose Cottage.  The bee charms it's hard to tell, but the colors match almost perfectly.

Can't see it in this picture, but they do!

Close up of the bee charms.  SO cute!

And more ric rac, green, black, white, purple, blue, and red.  I hope I can match these to future projects!

There's the messy craft table and room picture!  

And the small couch that is in the craft room.  I think it is covered now.

I think that's it for now.  Maybe I'll get that craft table cleaned up again - and the couch!

See you soon!~~

More of what I've been up to

Hello again!  I couldn't find where I shared this, so forgive me if you've already seen it.  I ordered the DMC box and it was filled with DMC floss.

A few quick finishes.  top is Love by Lizzie Kate.  Second is Love - 2014 Valentine freebie from The StitcherHood.  The Lizzie Kate piece is stitched on an unknown taupe colored evenweave with DMC floss.  The Love freebie is stitched on an unknown pink evenweave with DMC floss #99.

Stargazer earrings, a freebie by Deb Roberti.  Top is turquoise picasso superduos and gold seedbeads and earring findings.  The bottom left is red wine superduos, gold and redwood seed beads, and gold findings.  The bottom right are violet rainbow superduos with gold seedbeads and findings.  Very fun design to stitch!

Another from Needlework Galleria.  Jingle all the Way by Praiseworthy Stitches

Silent Night by Mill Hill.  These look like so much fun to stitch!

I thought I took a picture of the messy table in my craft room before I cleaned it up, but I didn't.  That table gets messy so quickly when I just want to put stuff in there instead of putting it up,

See you soon!~~

What I've been up to

 Hello!!  I don't know if anyone has missed me or not, but that's okay.  This may be a long post, so grab a drink and settle in.

I went to the Needlework Galleria in September in St. Charles, Missouri.  Had a blast!  I just drove out Friday morning and came home Saturday afternoon.  But boy, I did some damage, lol!  $$$   Some of what I got .....

I don't remember which doll this is for, but it is one of (I can't remember her name!) - GPA are her initials.

My Spooky Bag by Romy's Creations - I took her class and it was fun!

A bead kit - Honeybee Kaleidoscope

Another doll head, I believe this one is for The Chocolate Girl by the name I can't remember.   I remembered her initials - GPA.

Another bead kit - Poinsettia Ornament.  Should be fun!

Believe it or not pincushion kit - contents below.

And I have a finish!  

Hannah Stephenson, by Just Stitching Along on Etsy.  Stitched 1 over 1 and 1 over 2 on Soft Ivory New Castle linen using DMC floss.  Started in September and finished last night.  I love this one and wish my pictures turned out better.  A photographer I'm not, LOL!

I know I missed a couple things from Needlework Galleria, so may post again in the next couple days.

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas and now it is SO COLD here!  It was 9 degrees F at noon!  At least the sun is shining and the sky is a beautiful shade of blue with no clouds in sight!

Happy New Year, too!  See you soon!
