Ahh, it is good to be home from vacation, but my goodness. I am overwhelmed with all that I need to do to catch up on the computer. And I have plenty to do in the next 3 days for Christmas. But Happy Birthday Jesus. You gave us the bestest gift ever.
Hi Cuties from beautiful Florida. We finally have Internet access so I can catch up with my Cute family. We had a wonderful time in Rhode Island seeing friends and family. I know that if I still lived in Rhode Island, Suzanne and I would never get anyt
Suzanne and I had a wonderful,but too short visit,last night. I so enjoyed being able to see her family members and listen to our husbands laughing and entertaining themselves and us with their funny stories. So much to treasure. Sorry, but we were havi
Yea, My handsome hubby and I are leaving today to see friends and family in 2 states. We only get to see our loved oned once a year, so this is a real treat. See you tomorrow, Suzanne (sdrise). But I will be keeping up with my Cute family while we are t
Fabric bowl from Stitch4stitch This is another Christmas present I did and is ready to pack. I made it so the design can be seen from the out and inside views. It was double the work but worth it. Now can it survive my niece's 4 year old son?
Beautiful FSL rose bowl This is one of the Christmas presents I have been so busy making the last few weeks. It is one of the bowls form Yoriko's website, My Garden. I did change the colors. It stitched up with no problems. I have no doubt my n
sand dollar coasters A nice gift for someone who lives by the ocean. These are stitch intensive but worth the thread and time. I am sorry, but I can't remember where I found the design.
A tip for all of us who are trying to get everything done. Take rest breaks. When we embroider when we are tired or in pain, bad things can happen. I did a rookie mistake the other day that could have easily been avoided. So also be sure to check that
I am thankful for a Lord and Savior who loves me so very much and a great handsome hubby and the best friends ever. What are you thankful for?
Yea! I only have 3 more projects to do and 3 days to do them in. Life is good. And just to make my southern friends feel toasty. It was a balmy 5 degrees here in North Dakota this morning. It is good to have time to spend at Cute again.
Ah five minutes before I start straightening up. I have been racing to get Christmas presents done by Thanksgiving. They have to be ready to pack by December 2nd. What a whirlwind it has been. But I make sure to give out flowers to as many of you as t
Machine embroidered back of the quilt. I love combining 2 of my favorite hobbies. This is 1 of my combined projects. It is so much much prettier with 2 right sides now. And these birds are all from Cute. I hope you can see them since they are multi-
Hand embroidered lap quilt I love to do hand embroidery. This is one I finished recently. There are a total of nine hand embroidered birds and around the edges of the quilt are the hand embroidered names of each of the birds. Very pretty, but I will
A little more info on my Hoop Holder that I posted in Projects. I knew it would be heavy with so many hoops, so I used a double layer of thin wale navy blue corduroy for the backing that I had lots of. (slightly damaged so $1 a yard, gotta love it). I
Hoop Holder Sorry you have to turn sideways to see this but I don't know how to rotate it. I designed this as I went to fit all 11 hoops to my combo machines. This includes 2 continuous hoops that take up a bit of space. I could not fit the ent
