A few things I have been working on:)
\I snatched up this sampler from Rebecca Ringquist when I saw it on a bunch of blogs.
I started it and got most of it done on our road trip to Colorado. I just finished it on Friday evening when I had the house all to myself! It was wonderful!!!:)
This is for a rosette swap I am in. I used my hand died velvet ribbon that I got in San Diego at Paper Tales. I love the ribbon and hated cutting it, but I think it looks great with it.
I put together the necklace from my French General Kit that I got for August. It is very wine country:)
I am going to give this apron that I made in class to my mother in law today when we go to her lunch for August birthdays. I hope she likes it!!!!
I have been tempted to buy that sampler from RR, now, I must! I love the apron!
ReplyDeleteOh, Shelley, everything is fab! LOVE that rosette and that apron is grand!! Years ago and I'm talking 40 some I used to do needlework. Your sampler is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day today!
xxoo
I bought the same sampler and haven't started it yet. Now you have me motivated:D
ReplyDeleteWOW GIRL! YOU HAVE BEEN SO CREATIVE!!
ReplyDeleteThe rosette won my heart. I know what you mean about not wanting to cut the ribbon, but look how pretty it turned out. I sometimes hate using my favorite trims and and vintage pieces, but that's what they're there for!
VERY, VERY well done!
A+
