It's a part of who I am...

Creating heirloom pieces at present - leaving my footprint behind, and perhaps a little something extra for my loved ones in the future

Victory Dance


I always do a little "victory dance" after completing an embroidered project because it can be so darn time consuming which I guess is part of the reason why I like it. You have to be dedicated and spend many hours creating something that will hopefully stand the test of time to be passed down from generation to generation...
Anyways....my peacock is done...kudos goes of course to Dimensions Gold for creating a fantastic pattern....so today, my present to myself was to buy the frame, and now it hangs proudly in my home.....

so....on to the next!



I love the colours in this one....very  "happy" little picture. :)

Well....I have been posting....




It's funny...I just posted new pics on my blogger here last night; however because they are on one of my extra "pages", it apparently doesn't count as a post....so I will show you what I have been up to. I have been working on a few 3D origami projects lately. I love this particular craft because you can make so many lovely things...all with tiny pieces of paper....just take a look...:) and happy Easter everyone...


This type of modular origami takes ALOT of time. The swan took 16 hours to complete..The  Easter egg took considerably less time. My next 3D origami project will be this huge Peacock. Can't wait  to share it with all of you here.  But for right now, I'm going to go downstairs, make some tea, and cross-stitch.
