A Gift for my Father-in-Law

My father in law is retiring this year and loves golfing. I made this keychain for him to celebrate the momentous occasion!

Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my birthday this month and my mom managed to snag a copy of this book for me off of eBay. Thrilled is an understatement.

Newly Wed Canvas

I wanted to celebrate my marriage but couldn't find exactly what I wanted to stitch already available, so I went ahead and painted it for myself! We got married in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee and this felt like the perfect way to commemorate the occasion.

Now it's time to stitch! I plan to use vintage star beads that I have from my husband's grandma's stash to complete the look (included in the picture).

This will be an ornament for our Christmas tree once Finished!

Do Not Disturb

I made this as a "baby sleeping" sign for the first niece who is on the way in September.

I've never attempted to finish anything quite like this before but I'm feeling super proud once again! My fingers hurt from seeing all the pieces together but I love the way it turned out!

Margins? Never heard of her.

It never gets old. This is atrocious for so many reasons. Not everyone needs to be a canvas designer.

Vintage Butcher Sign 🐄

I finally finished blocking this and was able to complete the framing!

​

Shout out to Hobby Lobby who cut the mats for me. I was able to get the professional look I wanted without the price tag.

Cow is done in Milan (white) mosaic stitch and the background is Bella Lusso (linen) done in stardust stitch.

Thank you to everyone who commented on my previous post and helped inspire the final piece. Now I just need to decide on where I'm going to display!

Now I need to decide how I'm going to frame so this can live in my kitchen!

Hi everyone!

For the majority of my projects, I have self finished - but for my most recent finish I would like to get it professionally done.

Does anyone have any recommendations for who to use for a keyfob with leather? I was debating sending to Lycette.. does anyone have any examples done by them?

Thanks for your input!!
