25 Motif Challenge

Well, I've decided since I'm going to be doing a lot of tatting from some new books I've bought and working on projects for the fair next fall that I might as well re-join the challenge. I'm also trying to use up a LOT of unknown brand and sometimes unknown size threads I inherited, so who knows what may wind up here.

New Embroidery

Sorry for not posting much recently. I've been feeling poorly due to some medication I've been taking for a health problem I'm fighting.
Pardon the poor quality photo, but this is the best I could get. I recently finished this embroidery piece and just got it hooped the other day. The design is by Andrea Zuill at http://zuill.us/andreablog/ . I used a variety of stitches to set it off. I used split stitch on the birds, stem stitch, lazy daisy, satin stitch, French knots, and fishbone stitch.

Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge #20

This week's challenge is a sketch. All the papers are digital scrapbooking papers, the flowers are by Tracey Lynn Miller.

This week's challenge is Things With Wings. I decided to make an ATC using dragonflies and butterfly.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

This week's challenge over at Digital Tuesday Chalenge is "BOO!" Rather than make a card, I chose to make a tag. The background with pumpkin was created digitally, then I added the bear by Dustin Pike and dahlia by Tracey Lynn Miller
