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.

Thanksgiving Week

Kayden on Bob's phone. I still don't let Kayden play with my phone.

Still trying to find places to put everything. I put this up in my bathroom, because the theme is summer and beach.

Then I added all the summer, beach things I could find. So theses pieces were an exchange we had in ILCS a while back.

Yes that is right my bathroom! No one else likes it because it is small. But I love it and I have my own bathroom!!! So, what do you think?

Wednesday morning when I was looking around I found that one of my items from Etsy was in the Treasury!!! What a wonderful surprise.

Thanksgiving we went to my MIL then to my Sister's.

Friday Bob and Kayden put up the tree and I decorated it.

A very busy week for me. I added 24 pillow tucks and 25 hanging tucks to my Etsy shop. And still have a few more to add. I now have 102 items!

Fabulous Friday

Started off the week beading another ornament.

Green bulb, gold and green seed beads.

Decided I was done beading the large Christmas bulb, because I can't find any more beads to complete it.

But I have gotten a lot of complements on it, so I guess it is done.

Wanted to add a mistletoe, but couldn't find a small one.

This is the ornament that Coleen and I bought at the H.S. retreat as a joke.

Thursday my sister Carol called--Heard your Christmas tree was ruined when you moved. We have one that was left behind by the previous owners. Don't know what kind of shape it is in but if you want it - it's yours.

Bob went and picked it up, carried it in and started putting it together.

I think it looks pretty good!
Couldn't find the tree skirt so I used a blanket. LOL!

Been working on Bob's Christmas stocking, until I ran out of DMC 4010.

So, I pulled out Romeo and Chicks by Frankie Buckley, Leisure Arts.

And happy to say I finished it Friday!

This piece was a UFO and a BAP.

That is what made it a Fabulous Friday!!!

Having a finished was great, so I pulled out Kayden's baby blanket and started stitching on it again. Click here to see what it looked like.

Below is a picture of what it looks like today.

I kept running out of floss, using 6 strands - the floss goes fast!!!
