1st finish of 2011

Yes, I made my 1st deadline of 2011. I made the butterfly kit for my SIL for her birthday on Feb 5!! I am going to get material this week and try and make a pillow out of it. If anyone wants the pattern and all the left over floss, let me know and you can have it. It did come with a printed Aida but would probably look just as nice on a hand dyed fabric.
The other 2 pieces I've worked on is Winter White Woodland.













and I haven't posted a picture of Karen's HAED World Tree since November, so here's my progress. Color is more true in the before picture.







Short and sweet this time. Need to pack up to head to my parents and help my Mom out. I hope to be back home by the weekend, we have an ice sculpting festival in town on Saturday and I'd like to take Amberlyn to it. Here's the latest of our Granddaughter at 19 mos.

  3. The butterfly piece is just so pretty. I've this kit - I think at Joanne's, but never realized that it would come out so nice. It will make a wonderful pillow. Your winter piece is so cute and World Tree is just stunning. I can't imagine doing those pieces.

    And it looks like your granddaughter is a little ham for the camera. She's a cutie!

  6. If for some reason your SiL doesn't want that pillow, you can send it to me. In fact I'll even make my own pillow . Georgeous. So is your DGD.

  12. Congrats on your finish. Your WIPs look good. How was the ice sculpting competition? I went to the snow sculpting comp in Rockford, but I didn't think it was that great.
