See I told you its adorable!
Next up is my March LK Monthly. At least I am posting it in the correct month! Thought I would just go ahead and post Aprils so that I am actually ahead of the game...is that even possible.
I made this as a flatfold. It has an opening in the bottom to insert a little plastic L-shaped thing.
I don't know if everyone has seen these but I think that they are awesome especially for monthly type things. You can just pull that out and insert it ino the next months and the others will store flat. I really like it. I hope you can see it in the picture. I tried to get a close up but its clear. They come in 2 sizes. Great find!
Here is April...I really like making these little triangles.
I just realized that my Easter Exchange partner has received her package so I will post my pictures here.
I stitched 3 eggs from Homespun Elegance. I finished them as little egg pillows. It was my partners first exchange so I wanted it to be special for her. I also included some extra things some hazelnut chocolate carrots, some beads some fabric and a little kit from Bent Creek, Life is Good. i found a relly pretty box from our local Michaels. It looked like spring and held everything perfectly. Fun to do!~
The top one I rouched chocolate ribbon for trim. It really turned out awesome. The blue one I had the perfect piece of old lace, same color as the bunny and the green one I had a very old piece of green ric rack that was the perfect color. I used wool for the back sides. I think I might have to do them again.
I think this one is my favorite. Pink and brown!
The box and now I am done. Wow...lotsa pictures.!
I'm so pleased you like the exchange Blyn. It fascinates me that something that I stitched here in my living room is now hanging up thousands of miles away in the USA! Happy stitching, Christina X
ReplyDeleteThat little stand is brilliant! I think I've seen them at Michaels, I need to buy one. Such a great great idea.
ReplyDeleteWow, everything is just beautiful. But those eggs!!! I am drooling over those fabulous Easter Eggs and can imagine what a joy they were to receive!!!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching and finishes are just marvelous! I am in such awe at all of the different finishing techniques in this post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, as always!
You always have such amazing finishes Blyn. Have you thought of doing a tutorial on your triangle and shaped finishes. I was the lucky recipient of your Halloween exchange and my shaped finish is coffin shaped, I cant for the life of me work out how you finish them soo perfectly, they are amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove your work.
