Roo Bear Pocket

Here's the latest canvas on the Roo Bear.  There are 10 and I have now completed 8....meaning only 2 more!





I seem to have an endless supply of half finished projects which I am slowly working through.  Here's the next one.  Another Valentine House - sweet!  A change of color scheme for sure.

There!



This weekend I will continue on with Roo Bear's pocket and another Christmas ornament.






I have to say it is nice to work through my unfinished projects and stash!

Almost there

Hi there,

I'm almost done with my fall basket - just have to do the inside of the sunflower now.  I had to overcome my brain block with the raised fishbone stitch on the sunflower leaves.  Mary Corbet has the best videos on every stitch.  I just had to watch and watch and watch until the lights came on.  Even though the lights came on I didn't take out the original leaves.  After several months they looked  good enough!



Now I'm going to try and finish another Roo Bear canvas - this is the candy pocket on the front of the bear.  I had to do some ripping last night when it didn't line up correctly so this is what it looked like at 11:30 PM.  It might still not line up but I'll check it again this afternoon.  There comes a point in everyone's day when you just need to put it down 😅

Yet Another Finish


Hi there,

Here's Elsie!  She's going to be framed because the tail and the flowers are too delicate.  I just love how this turned out.

Bottom of the Box Finishing

Hi,

I pulled this one out of the "to be finished" box and decided to finish it Saturday.  Mainly because I was afraid of misplacing the crystal that goes in the center.

Thanks to Susan Portra for the stitch guide AND for the crystal.  She just happened to have one in with her beads when we took a class at Needlepoint in Paradise last year.




Not sure what I'll tackle next out of that box!
