Let's Hug!

I know I promised tons of pictures from the shower, but I haven't gotten around to them yet.  Instead, I've been doing this cross stitch pattern.  It's from a French cross stitch app I have on my phone and it's full of super cute things like this!

And if you would like to do your own, here is the pattern!

Gothy Hand

Jenny Hart from Sublime Stitching is awesome.  She makes the cutest patterns, and oftentimes, gives them away!  I have purchased many from her, and they are totally worth the $3-$5 I have spent on each, but it's also cool when I am broke to get a free one!

Here is a cocktail napkin I did from one of her free patterns.  For some reason, I just REALLY like this pattern.  It's so cute!!

I like the colors I chose for it as well.  I didn't want the trademark black glove and black or red nails.  I can't wait to finish the napkins I bought from her.  I plan to order her blue ones and black ones next!

That Stitchin' Life

I have been working on a lot of projects.  My sister and future brother-in-law's wedding shower is coming up and I've been working on decorations for that.  I can't really do pics now, because she may see, and also, it's a constant work in progress.  I'll be sure to post plenty of pics at the shower, though!

I have done a few more cocktail napkins from Sublime Stitching!  I have really enjoyed doing these. 

Sadly, our boss at work is moving to another department.  She is the best boss I have ever had.  I will miss her, but I am happy for her, because she's been offered a good opportunity.  Here is a cross stitch I have done for her.  I see that it's crooked, yes, and that TEARS me up, but what can I do about it really? It's already all stitched up and put in there... maybe she won't notice or care that it's crooked!  It's cute anyway.  "Best Day Ever!" Not when you leave us, Erica :(

And here is a gift for my sister and her fiance, all framed up and pretty!

I've been experimenting with knitting bows.  I like these!

I think I'll take a break from crafting and work on these thank you cards for the shower!

Getting Back Into It

I am glad to get back into stitching after having settled into our move and taking time out for myself!
Here is a cute skull stitch from Makoto Oozu's book, that is Not Lame and Very Cool.  

Here's another cute hanky from Sublime Stitching's Gothic Grandeur pattern set.

 

And here is Cosette's name all framed up.
