I've been sick with tonsillitis twice in the last two weeks, and that has taken a lot out of me. I am back in the saddle and have been working on stuff for a swap over at Craftster. I think some stuff turned out pretty nifty.When it arrives at it's destination, I will post some pictures.
Other things I have made in the mean time - lots of embroidery. Kind of obsessed with it. I am also very slow at it. Here are some of the things I have made - all for swaps!
Embroidery on a tee shirt: (photo credit-atsuko on Craftster)
This is a vintage pattern. There are so many super cute patterns available online that are generally out of print! Hoop Love Vintage Transfers is a spectacular flikr resource!
And some hoops.
This first one, I learned new stitches for. This was for an ongoing hoopla swap and I created her for burstofpanties (to whom gets photo credit). I think she is lovely! This is a sublime stitching pattern.
One of my favorite images.
Another hoop for the same swap - a Star Wars theme. I am a Star Wars junkie! I just wish my stitching on letters was more refined.....
This was for dewshinedrop, who took this photo
These next pieces were also sublime stitching, but I made them for my nephews and niece. My older sister has 8 month old twins! C (a boy) and K (a girl) are freaking adorable. They have an older brother, R, who was turning three at the party these were made for. Not to be out done, my younger sister has a 6 month old little boy, E. It was a cowboy/farm themed party and I decided all the little ones needed matching onesies. And I had to embroider them. Finished them the morning of the party. Right on time :)
I really need better pictures, but I only had a camera phone!!
I have another project to post, but it's more complicated, and I took some in progress pictures. Will need to get those up.... I will.... I swear.....
