Lullaby

As I said in my previous post, I'm working on quickie project.  I'm planning to have this little cutie completed by the end of the week!!  I needed to take a break, so I thought I would post the picture that I took of her yesterday...

She is a little different then the design photo, I have given her black hair w/blue highlights (sorry you can't see them from the picture) her skin tone is a little darker since she is Indian.  Also, her sleeper is a little different too.  Here is the design original...

I'm a little further along then what the photo shows, but this is a teaser!  I'll post more again later this week ;o)

Happy Stitching!!!

New Piece Going On the Hoop

Ugh!  We just got an invitation to one of my Hubby's co-worker's wife's baby shower!!!  The Husband is throwing this bash, and a friend of ours has asked me to make something special!!  I HAVE A WEEK!!!  I really wish that I had given more time, I usually make baby afghans for the new baby's along with a cross stitch piece.  I think I'm going to have to come up with a new strategy this time.  I'll get a small cross stitch piece done, and then make the afghan.  I know that they are having a little girl, but I don't know what colors the baby's room is, I'll have to get that information.

I have enough colors in my stash to substitute for the design colors, so I'm off to get this going!!!

This is what I found...

Happy Stitching :o)

Stitching Updates

I got a start on my Taj project!!  I'll admit, I'm now excited about the piece and not so overwhelmed with it.  Now, as I'm making that for Hubby, I can only work on it when he is at work :(  On the positive side of that, I have been working along with the butterflies!  Here are some pics to share...

I will say, when I try something new, I dive in without checking the depth :)  This Taj piece is a bit more then I bargained for, but I'm determined to stick it out!

This will be going into the guest bedroom when it's completed :)

So, there they are!  I'm going to get off the computer now and go back to stitching...

Hugs...until next time!

Idle Hands...

Ok, so we have been back from the Bonnie Blue for a couple of weeks.  Mathai did GREAT!  I can't believe how hard my 6 year old worked :)  He ended up in walk/trot (no leadline) and took second in both his classes!!!

As for me, I'm picking up my cross stitch again.  This time, I'm finishing the butterflies and starting the Taj Mahal Mandala Garden.  I have been sitting on the Taj for almost 2 years, a little intimidated by the whole "embellished" aspect of it.  I found a great forum, and the ladies have been such a huge help!

I'll post pics as I go!!

Also, I'll get some pics of The Bonnie Blue too :)

Until next time!!
