Stitching Progress, Beading and Christmas

Made several beaded rings in different colors. I love the way they turned out. Dara picked out one and she wears it on her thumb. Dara has also put in an order for more.

This is what Earthdancer looked like last Sunday. And this is what she looks like now. I was getting tired of stitching on her so she had gone back in the cabinet and I pulled out Kayden's blanket.
This is the top part of his blanket and what it looked like when I brought it out to play.

And this is what it looks like today.

Christmas was a busy day. First we had Christmas at home then to my MIL's and then to my sister's. Brandon, Dara and Kayden was still doing Christmas the day after on Brandon's side of the family. My house has been over ran by Kayden's toys.

Progress

The first picture is the last progress picture of Earthdancer. When I brought her out to do more stitching I found that I had to rip out more stitches from the top of her head. The next picture is what I had ripped out and the progress I made on her. Funny that her hair grew even though she was scalped. Tee-Hee.

Total progress picture. I tried to see when I started stitching her and it was some time either before 2006 or during 2006. In Jan 2007 I restarted on new material, because the material I was stitching on had a small hole in it.

Caught Bob napping with Kayden yesterday.

During the week I worked on my Etsy shop, trying to get better pictures. We had one real sunny day and I redid most of the pictures of the ornaments and jewelry. Also made several pairs of heart and post earrings and added them to the shop too. And I made the jewelry in the picture below. But haven't added them yet. Will add them to the shop when we get another sunny day, the pictures always turn out so much better in the sunlight.

My seed bead order arrived and I continue to work on the beaded Christmas tree. But I didn't order enough beads and run out already. Also placed an order for sterling silver and gold filled wire and earrings to make more of the "Love" pieces.

I found the snowman pattern that I want to stitch for the snowman SAL at ILCS group, next month. I will be stitching "Winter Blues" by Stitchy Kitty, it was a freebie in 2005 . Will be picking out the material and threads soon, so I will be ready to start in January.

Until next Sunday, stay warm, hug your Moms and kiss your babies.

Special Orders

Remember if you see something in my shop at Etsy, but you want a different color just let me know. I had two special orders this week. Beaded necklaces in red, blue and green and a Christmas spider in red and black. Thanks so much ladies!!! I do hope that you like them. And added a few more for the shop.

When I was making the necklaces Dara saw them and asked if I could make her an anklet .

I also make a necklace for myself.

Not much else happen this week. I did finish a beaded ornament yesterday, but haven't taken a picture of it yet. The ornament is larger and it has picot with crystal drops.

Thanks so much to everyone that visits my blog and leaves a comment.
