ThanksGiving?

Thanksgiving
It didn't seem like Thanksgiving at all. I did go to my MIL for dinner, but Dylan had to work and so did I so, we didn't make it to my Sister's. This is the first Thanksgiving that I didn't spend with my family since the beginning of time, will my time. LOL!
Beading
This week's new patterns are...
Star Ring
Flower Ring and Bracelet






All patterns can be found at my Etsy shop, Artfire shop and The Bead Coop
Christmas Tree
Friday I put up my Christmas tree. Kayden came over Friday night and he told me he wanted one too.
Stitching
Wednesday eve I started a new project Bobbie G Designs "CrossStitchAholic" I moved a few things around and of course I had to add something about beading.
I stitched it on a sweat shirt, it took me three times to get the waste canvas on right. The first time I had it on the shirt too low, by my belly button. The second time I had the canvas totally out of wack. Third time charm!
So I started stitching it and pulled my first thread through it would look great using Rayon threads, which is what the "Hi" is stitched in. But it was a pain the the neck. So I didn't used the Rayon on the rest of the shirt, I switched to regular DMC. Had to change a few of the colors from the pattern so it would look nice on the color of shirt I bought. But once I took off the canvas, I wish I had used a lighter color blue. But it is done and I don't think it's that bad, that I would take it apart. What do you think?
Well, that was my week. Hope your week was a good one.

I love your beadwork. The other is good, too. Just don't have the patience for the cross stitch. I will have to look at the patterns for the rings. I think they are super cool.

Your tree is wonderful - for the second year we have no tree, as the bad weather has stopped us getting to the garden centre, and now they're all sold out :( Never mind, lots of hand-made ornaments around from the kids :)
