Tea Time Embroidery Biscornu

I made my second biscornu this week.  I want to make several to get familiar with the process of finishing them and to maybe have some holiday themed designs.  Plus they are just an addicting project.  They work up quickly and turn out so cute.  Quick little gifts, they look nice on display, and they are useful.  I'm shopping around for some lavender flowers to make my next one into a sachet.  I love lavender.   

 The other side has "Tea Time" words and flowers that are like what is on the teapot side.  I embroidered this one in all one color with a raspberry color for a redwork look.

Very pretty! I'm not sure why it never occured to me to do one with embroidery instead of cross stitch!

Really sweet project Kathie! I had never heard of these but I love any kind of sachet but especially one with lavender in it! The scent of lavender is so lovely and feminine and who doesn't need more loveliness in their lives!

Touching the Autumn Sky Complete!

Image
I am very excited that I finished my "Touching the Autumn Sky" Mirabilia cross stitch pattern over the weekend. Whew, took a long time. I can't even remember when I started it. I'm looking for just the right frame now. I have completed two of Mirabilia's patterns in my cross stitching career, the other one is "Under the Friendship Tree". I really like her patterns of children. I have started the letter "C" of her letters series, however I am using Weeks Dye Works flosses instead of Crescent Colors. Looking forward to see how that turns out.

Rise and Shine Hand Embroidery Pillow

Image
This week I finished my "Rise and Shine" embroidery pattern that has a very bright theme, some orange butterflies and a few wildflowers.  I'm making a set with "Sweet Dreams" to go with it.    After finishing the pillow i wanted to do the crochet border around the edge.  I found a great pattern for it on the You Go Girl blog.  I've seen it on so many pillowcases lately and it turns out really cute!  First I did a blanket stitch around the edge.   I hemmed the edge of the pillow fabric first and used a large needle with "Comfy" fingering yarn from Knit Picks  in Sea Foam.  It is a little heavier than crochet cotton and I liked the softness of it.    Single crochet in the blanket stitch around.  I made a change here from her directions.  I only put two single crochet stitches in each blanket stitch because it was starting to ruffle a bit and I didn't want that. Five double crochets in a sin...

Illustration Friday - Juggle

Image
I wanted to draw something to correlate with the season and I thought about a lady trying to juggle all of her equipment back so she doesn't have to make another trip, ever feel that way? I felt like using red too, such a strong color and not in my usual palette, so apples came to mind. Have a good weekend. Nice and cool here in Nevada.
