I am the best friend ever, again.

Here is some more stuff I've done. And old friend from high school is getting married on November 7th, so I made her this. It's from the Sublime Stitching Craft Pad. Sorry for the crooked picture, I took it crooked and I'm too lazy to fix it. I might at a later date. Here is something I've done from the Tara McPherson/Sublime Stitching collaboration patterns. I am pretty happy with the way it came out.
I just bought the Sublime Stitching Country Cool and Word Balloon patterns, and three skeins of glow in the dark floss from a local shop here in Austin. They said they think she's discontinuing the Word Balloon pattern. I've learned that I'd better get my grubby paws on her discontinued patterns or I'll never, ever have them. Boo! I think she discontinued the Handmade Nation one, and I'm sad that I didn't pick it up when I had the chance. :( Anyway, I have Christmas present ideas for those patterns and I can't wait to start them. That's all for now. Thanks for reading, Kristi, since you're mostly the only one who does ;) haha! And if anyone else happened upon this, thanks to you, too :)

Wild Olive's Teeny Tinies- Image Heavy!!

Here are the rest of the Teeny Tinies from Wild Olive. Not sure what I'll do with them... Sorry for some of the weird stitch work. These are so wittle tiny that it was hard to do some of them.

So Many Patterns, So Little Time

I have so many things I want to stitch up. I have a ton of Wild Olive and Sublime Stitching patterns I've not done yet. I have a ton of other stuff as well that I've just found or people have passed down to me as well. And I've drawn up a couple of little things myself. I never know where to start, and I always get overwhelmed, so I decided to make a list. I have friends who have moved into new apartments, birthdays, and Christmas coming up, so I made a list of people I'm doing embroidery projects for, and I started on it Thursday. I did this one from an Urban Threads pattern. Yes, I know, they are evil, but I got this stuff before I knew they were evil and I'm not about to pitch it! I made it for my friend who's just moved into a new place. I think
it's adorable. We all love Cthulhu. This is another for his roommate. Here, I tried my hand at coloring the fabric. I'm a terrible color-er. I have the tendency to color in one direction and then totally switch it up, and I have to learn that is a no-no. But I think it came out okay anyhow.
That's it for now!

The Cake is a Lie

Here is something I made for my boyfriend. I have to iron out the hoop mark, and then I'm gonna frame it for him.

Deathwish Dena

Ooookay, here is a Roller Girl that I did for my friend Deathwish Dena, who just joined a roller derby team here in Austin. I forget which team. So see, I'm not that gooda friend.

Anyhow, this is a Sublime Stitching pattern that I borrowed from a friend. For some reason, I was sort of intimidated by this one as well. Maybe because it's so detailed. But I think it came out nicely!

Mystery Gift- Thank You!

So I was sitting here at home, watching those horrible Judge shows on my day off, when there is a knock at my door. When I opened the door, there was a dude who handed me a padded envelope. Inside that envelope was the Sublime Stitching Craft Pad, which has tons of rad embroidery patterns. I did not order this. There was no invoice for this in the package. Using my amazing skills of deductive reasoning, I came to the conclusion that SOMEONE has sent me a gift, and for some reason, did not include anything telling me who they were! I love mystery gifts. If you're reading this, thank you so much. It makes me feel special.
