Busy busy..... (finishes....!!!)
How did Sunday evening get here so quickly? I would swear it was just Friday a few hours ago....
I did do some stitching last night & some finishing & sewing today - but first, look at how pretty my Amaryllis is! I bought it a day or two after Christmas and it has 3 blooms open with 2 more to come. I've never had one with 5! I think it's lovely! :-)
I decided to try to make a couple of zippered bags - just wanted to see how they would come out. Both are fairly small & odd sized - just using some zippers a friend of my mom's gave me to see which I prefer to make. Both worked out - so either one works - I guess that's good! What do you think? The bottom one is a Moda Blackbird "Madeira" fabric - love it!

I was listening to an audio book last night & just stitching up a storm. I did the 3 following pieces and finished them this afternoon. The first is a freebie in the latest San-Man newsletter. It's on 32 ct Ruby Wine Belfast with CC Spun Sugar - might look familiar as it's the same thread/fabrics as in the exchange I just sent out.
Next is my "Funky Bird"! I think he's just the cutest thing.... he's from a big thick cross stitch book - don't recall the name of it right now but I can pull it back out if anyone is interested. I changed the colors (of course) and I like it! It's stitched on 32 ct White Belfast w/DMC floss & filled with crushed walnut shells - so that makes it a pin pillow doesn't it? ;-) I don't understand why it looks wrinkled in the pic - it doesn't in person. :-( Oh well, I'm happy with it!
Last but not least is a freebie from "The Stitcherhood", isn't it cute? I LOVE the new red paisley fabric - got it yesterday at the quilt shop. I think the ribbon is a bit wide but it will do until I can get something else. All I had in white was too narrow or this, and all I had in red was either too bright or too dark. Can't win sometimes huh? Again, LOVE this red paisley - I see a tote bag or maybe a purse in the near future from this fabric... **YES** I am a fabric addict!
Yes, that was 3 full finishes in 24 hours - I can do it when the mood hits - which isn't very often. I just decided I was in the mood for Valentine's Day.... and didn't stop once I got started! :-)
Okay - off to stitch a bit and listen to more of my book - Diana Gabaldon's "Dragonfly In Amber" - I'm LOVING this series - and I can stitch & listen at the same time, so that makes it even better!
Have a great week ahead, thanks for stopping by & happy stitching!!!
