Miniature Sock - facing right4841 viewsI want to wear this as a pendant! It's so adorable...my American Girl doll was looking on in envy, but thank goodness, it wouldn't fit her, anyway! ;D

Little Red Riding Hood cape - a different angle4837 viewsThis is a different angle of the Little Red Riding Hood cape.

The Earthdancer4809 viewsThis is my version of Marilyn Leavitt Imblum's incredible piece, the "Earthdancer."  I took the suggestion on the pattern and used only one strand of the specialty thread for the dreamcatcher (the picture on the pattern showed it made with at least three strands, perhaps six).  This is not quite finished...one thread from the dreamcatcher became loose, so it needs to be tightened and woven under again.  The other thing I haven't finished is figuring out what color to make the two feathers under the dreamcatcher.  Because I changed fabric colors (the designer's color choice was a beigy brown I didn't like because it somewhat obscured the dancing Native American woman), the feathers then blended into the fabric color.  I tried outlining the feather on the right, but don't really like it, so will have to someday rip out the stitches and change the floss colors to something else.  LOL, am I too picky?  Probably!

Get Well Soon Bear4781 viewsThis was from a pattern in a British cross stitch magazine.

DeGrazia4761 viewsThis is a cross stitch pattern that was based on a painting by Ted Degrazia.  It may have been called "Hanukkah," but I'm not sure of that.

Picot lace choker4738 viewsThis is a picot lace choker, made from a lace pattern in Beadwork magazine. I made this as a choker.

OMNI Bookmark4728 viewsThis is my own design.  It's been out of print for many, many years now, but OMNI magazine was my absolute favorite magazine, so I made this bookmark for myself.  It looks just like a title from their magazine cover.

Dolphin Name Tag4658 viewsThis is the only one in this album which didn't come from a kit.  It's a dolphin name tag created from a pattern in Mary Hickmott's New Stitches.  IIRC, I found a cross stitch alphabet that I liked and plotted the letters for my name in the middle.  (I don't remember if one was supposed to put a name in the middle.)

Picot lace choker4654 viewsThis is the happy client wearing her picot lace choker.

Floral Wreath4610 viewsThis was a kit I had bought on sale at a craft store.  I really liked the colors.  (LOL, not that I don't still like them...it's just that I bought and made this a very long time ago.)
1266351027eaglesunset.jpg
Eagle & Sunset4610 viewsThis was from a Dimensions pattern - that's right, a pattern, not a kit.  I purchased a special color of fabric that was recommended for it.  I love this pattern.  I did have trouble with this fabric, though.  I prefer not to use a hoop or frame (and Q-snaps weren't available at the time), and I had to use a frame to stitch this.  I fought with it a lot, though I'm happy with the end result.  You can't see, but there are tiny, tiny beads stitched on the fabric to represent stars (in addition to the stars stitched with blending filament).
