I was a very lucky girl today - look what I received from my very lovely friend Alma! Thanks Alma, I really love it.
I also put a last few stitches into my cross stitch so that it made sense for when I showed it! Not sure whether I will need to outline the dog, it isn't in the pattern, but it maybe doesn't pop out enough without. I will see how I feel when I have done a little more.
I also managed a short while in the Crafty Corner, and made these!
Over the last couple of days, Morris has been enjoying time outside, and I have managed to get a few good pics and a few funny ones! These I am saving for a day when I don't manage to get to the Crafty Corner!

OMG! Carole's crafty corner works it magic once again!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, what a lovely surprise from Alma, it's just lovely!!!!!!
Secondly, these little birdie houses are just AMAZING!!!!!!! I just love your style Carole, so homely, country cottage, rustic, whatever you want to call it, it's just scrummy!!!!
Also, I adore your cross stitch, how do you do that?
I told you once I made a Winnie the Pooh cross stitch when I was pregnant with Zach, and nearly flung it out the window mid stitch, counting all those little holes to stitch in the right place nearly drove me nuts and I got it wrong soooo many times!
I got there in the end, but am totally amazed at how you do it so quickly and beautifully too!
Well done Carole, as Alma says, you really are a girl of many talents!
Perhaps if you were to put a thin stitched boarder all the way around, it would highlight everything for you and give a nice finish, rather than having to outline the doggy, just a though. But I'm sure whatever you do will be amazing!
Well done Carole, I sooooooooo want a crafty corner too!

Hi Carole
ReplyDeleteLove your little birdhouses - you have a very distinct style and I jsut love it! Cross-stitch - hmmmmmmm. If I had a pound for every one of those I;ve started and thrown away indisgust, I'd have as much stash as Maria or Sue-Bubbles LOL!!!!
Love Alma's tag as well.

Oh dear ladies, how disappointing!!! I love cross stitching, I find it really relaxing, even with all the counting and fractional stitches! I'm also one who will always finish one project - completely - before starting another! Can't help it, wouldn't feel right to put one down and start again on a new one (and yes, I do know that there is a name for people like me!!!)
ReplyDeleteYou should dig them out and have another go! I'm here should you need encouragement!
