Crocheted Doily

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the West Texas Fair and Rodeo and I 'scouted' out the needlework competition. I decided to begin for next year now in case my hands had a long bout of not working. So.......here is my first finished piece: Small Chanukah Doily from www.freepatterns.com . It is in size 10 thread and 6" in diameter.

This week's challenge is Falling Leaves . I used some leaves I cut from a sheet of House Mouse paper, fall leaves paper from my stash, and Dustin Pike's new scarecrow freebie. He was colored in BIC markers and Prismacolor pencils.

Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge #14

This week's challenge is a color challenge. It is an unusual trio - orange, teal, and pink. I went simple to accent the colors. I used digital papers by Kay Eflin and a digi-stamp by Tracey Miller at Fred, She Said.

Digital Tuesday Challenge #22

This week's challenge is Lace and Pearls. I used a digital image by Tracey Miller (Fred She Said), paper and lace from my stash, and pearls from my jewelry-making stash. It's hard to see in the scan, but the pearl loops hang freely from the corners.



Simon Says Challenge #19

This is my first time for the Simon Says Challenge, so here goes.....this week's challenge is Heidi's Choice . It is a sketch to use as a guide. I used old stamps, paper from my stash, vintage trim and flowers from a lei. I used my 'old faithful' of comic book backing board to make it a plaque.

Stamp Something Challenge

This week, the Stamp Something Challenge is Animal Somethings . I decided to make a Halloween tag. Both stamps are by Stampin' Up! and the tag and papers are from my stash. The bear is colored with Prismacolor pencils.
