**EDITED**Cory's birthday, a SMO finish and my first dishrag

Cory's birthday was Friday. I took him a personal pan pizza and ate lunch with him and played on the playground then brought cupcakes later in the day. We had a good time together. We had his party Sunday. I thought this cupcake cake would be idea and it wasn't SOOO learn from my mistake. These were so messy. The icing was everywhere. There was literally enough icing for another cake.

Here is a small finish from SMO. I'd like to make it into something special. I think I'll look through my ribbon and make it into wrap for a candle jar.

Here's what I came up with for a candle wrap. I think it turned out pretty good for just an idea, lol. My fabric was too small to go around the jar so I pieced it together with some ribbon. Thinking now I want a new wrap for every holiday.

My daughter came home from school one day wanting to crochet. Like always she gave up so I thought I'd try again. I watched a few videos on youtube and made this dishrag. It could def. be better but I'm proud of my first try. Cory liked it so much he wanted 2 so he cut this one. Nice huh???

Finishes and Exchanges

This is going to be quick, I'm too tired to think....

San-Man Originals has a Halloween SAL on the forum. Here is the first part of mine. Haven't see the other parts but I am assuming one is a pumpkin and one a tombstone. New parts come out on Sunday.

Made a biscornu for a fall exchange. I bought the pattern from the floss box for .90. Can't beat that. Here is the back.

And here is the front :)
This last little bit is some goodies I received in an exchange. I was def. spoiled. Cory grabbed a few things right away. He is loving the pumpkin headband, lol.

Thanks Georgena :) You have spoiled me my friend!!

Finish

Got two things done today, boy am I on a roll, lol. This first one is for a RR in Krafters Korner. I cheated and stitched the second tree. This one is really cute. Love wintery things.

Halloween is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to stitch. Happy Jack Day is offered in the San-Man Originals September newsletter. This was a quick stitch, maybe 3 hours.

Latest Finishes

This cute little snowman has been sitting unfinished for months. Got it out and finally finished it. Not sure what type of ornament I am going to make this into but I love him and am soo happy he is finally done.

This is by SMO. Isn't lime so cute. I just wanna eat him :)

Here Lime is under Orange. Not sure how many there will be but if I don't like them all together they will be perfect for magnets.

Friday Finish

First here's a little pic of my boy. He made the hat and apron in VBS this week. He's been wearing them all week saying he is a baker :)

If you are a member of the SMO forum theres fun stuff going on now.

Today Sandy posted the chart below. The first to stitch it gets a prize. Guess who that was, lol. It took me 2 1/2 hours to stitch it. I got distracted by the phone once but I was on a mission. I am a slow stitcher and wanted to get it done in a hurry. Going to wait to see if there is another before I decide how I want to finish it. Right now it is looking to be made into a magnet. I love this :)

Finished SMO Merry Dinky Doodles

Here is the SMO SAL Merry Dinky Doodles all finished up. This was fun to see how everyone changed the colors up. Now I just need to get a frame for it and it will be ready the Holidays.

Part 4 of Novalee. I'm loving this one. The little pictures are perfect for smaller things. Can't wait for it to be all finished!

Progress

Here's the latest on just a few of my on going projects....

SMO Sal

Novalee Sal

I've been working on this for a while to get caught up. It is a SAL from AAneedleworks called Race to Christmas. The fabby was given to me by Mary so I can stitch the whole thing in one piece. THANK YOU MARY!! This is going to be LONG when finished :)

SALs Progress

I've finished part 2 of the Novalee sal and part 8 of SMO last night. I love quickies :)

SAL Progress

Pictures aren't so great. It's been rainy and cloudy here and I just can't get the rooms bright enough.
Here is a closeup of the SMO SAL. I chose my own colors for it. Its cute and fun :)

• 
  This one is by Carole at http://novalee02.over-blog.com/ If you want to join better hurry it up cause it closes on the 7th. It is in French but there is a translater on the side. Part one is on the blog and you have to send her a finished picture of that to get part 2. It is going to be cute all finished.

Here is a picture of the updated SMO SAL. It is hard to stop each part but at the same time I love doing a little at a time. Its going to be great finished.


This is a freebie from Vee and Co. called "I Snow Love You". Let me just say I LOVE this. I'm pretty sure I will be doing more of this one on different aida. It was a quick and fun stitch.

January 30,2011

I've gotten a little bit done this week. The month is over and I'm no where near my goals but still think I got alot done.

This is Grande Marquoir. I wanted to get 5 sections done this month but I think this is all I'll get done. I am doing it over one and my eyes yell at me after a few stitches and let me just say it is reallly hard to frog over one and then I have red fuzz every where. I was about to give up last night and get a bigger piece of fabric and start from scratch, but I'm going to stick with it. I think it looks nice over one.

Here is the start of my second ornament for this month. It is from gazette94. I "might" have this finished before the end of the month so I can meet my 2 ornaments a month goal but I doubt it.

I finished my 15 sided biscornu today. It is far from perfect but it could def. be worse, lol.

And here is the latest part of the SMO SAL. You don't have any idea how hard it is to quit, lol.

January 22, 2010

Here's this weeks progress.

This is the second part to the SMO SAL. A new area is done each week.

Here's all the parts for the 15 sides biscornu.

Here is the top and bottom all stitched up.

And lastly I've finished A Time for Christmas Cookies by SMO. I'll make it into a cube before Christmas, lol...
