Good Morning my friends! I hope you are well. Some of you are not, and I am praying for you. =) It has been sunny and hot here. Today it is rainy and cooler though. I stitched up a small freebie the other day. I did some finishing work this weekend too. Got one piece done, and the other piece is 80% done. =)
The small freebie I stitched was found
here. I changed the colors and shapes a tiny bit. I also came up with the little envelope. Because of percocet, I totally forgot to do all the black backstitching you see on the envelope! I did it AFTER the tin was finished! As in, this morning. Right before this post. =( Not fun at all.
This was stitched one over one on a light blue 28ct evenweave. I used one of the tiny Altoid mint tins. They call them smalls. I used a white quilted material to make a padded bottom.
This is a gift I am giving to our mail lady. She is so very friendly and nice. She leaves treats once in a while for the dogs. Do you see my broken needle? No, I am not giving that to the mail lady. ;) This is the needle I just used this morning to get the backstitching done on that little envelope. Well!! Half of the needle's eye is now embedded under the evenweave, in the batting. Oh well. She will never know. The back stitching is not perfect, but I am happy with it considering it was stitched after the fact!!
This morning I will complete framing a stitched La D Da piece. Hope to show you that real soon.
Finishing and Praying,
Vickie
