Happy Valentine's Day... A little late.

Here is what I made Allen for Valentine's Day.  It was honestly a rush job.  I had planned to work on it over the weekend but things came up.   So I framed it in a crazy hurry.  Ugh.  But I think the cross stitch itself is mighty cute!  I think I got the camera from Andwabisabi and I added my own letters. 

Doodlin'

I've been doing a lot of doodling and not enough stitching!

I am thinking about doing a series of these and selling them on Etsy. 

Rad.

Art Exchange

 I want to start stitching more things on cards.  I've been thinking about maybe getting some blank cards at the craft store and creating my own greeting cards and selling them.  I dunno... but I made this one for my friend Rob.  We were supposed to do an "art exchange" and we have managed ONE piece of art each so far.  I can't keep up with stuff... 

I love drawing and stitching random kinds of trees.  I also love stitching those random trees!  So I made this for our art exchange.

And bows!

I've been making more bows.  They are a little uneven and wonky and at first, I was irritated, but I dunno... it kind of gives them character. I'd wear every damned one of these.  I used $1 fat quarters for most of these. 

And rings!

I made some covered buttons and thought they may make some cute rings.  

And here, of course, is one made from dollhouse miniatures again.

Soapy love!

I have been making tons of soap.  I knew I said I was giving it up, but I lied.  I found some really nice soap molds to use and also, I saw an idea where you can use rubber bands shaped like various things in your soap.  I thought I'd try it. 

I used silicone ice cube trays for these.  They are too easy to make!

I Do The Weird Stuff

I stitched this up over the past week!  I like it, but it's uneven, and that makes me a little sad.  I need to fix the pattern. I made it for Haylan's birthday.  Inspired by Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. 

How I spent my Saturday night...

Rings and Things

I love putting miniatures on hair clips or rings. I wish more people appreciated my artistry.

And here are some more bows.
