Cross-stitch Bib

 

My cousin is having a baby this spring.

 

 

So I thought I would stitch up a little bib to give to her.

 

 

It was quick and simple

and doing baby things are always so much fun!

New Projects

I have been looking for some baskets with lids to hold my x-stitch projects that I am currently working on and I finally found some :)

The bottom basket is bigger and holds the extra cases of floss and projects.

The smaller top basket holds the project I am currently working on.

It keeps it tidy looking and clean.

It is also really easy to grab and move to where ever I want to work on it, upstairs or downstairs.

There are a few couples in our church who are expecting babies this spring and I realized that if I want to make them something I had better get busy.

So I temporarily put aside the pillowcases I was working on and will be starting on a bib.

I am customizing the picture abit.

By taking the bottom picture but leaving off the skunk in the cart.

And adding on the bottle cart and making it two bottles instead of one.

The colors are so nice I can't wait to see it completed.

It has been warming up here and has me thinking towards gardening.

I have very few seeds left over from last year so I need to put in an order for more seeds.

I have such a hard time narrowing down the flowers I want.

Really, I'd love to try them all.

And of course, the choices of vegetables for the garden.

I have wanted to put in a flower cutting garden for many years and I think this is the year I am going to do it.

This book gives me a sample and I'm ordering the flowers they suggest.

I can't wait to get the seeds planted and see how it turns out.

Besides, how can you go wrong with flowers? :)



X-Stitch Pillowcases

I finally completed a set of pillowcases I have been working on.

While working on the pillowcases I only see a little bit at a time.

It always amazes me how pretty it looks when I take it out of the hoop.

And once it is washed and the print is removed it is even prettier.

And the colors become so much more vibrant.

They are very cheerful.

And will brighten someones pillow.

I just had to see what they looked like on the pillow.

And they definately brighten up the room.

So onward I go onto my next set of pillowcases with butterflies and flowers.

Hopefully I will complete them a lot quicker than I completed these :)
