Older Projects

Okay, here are some projects I have done, that I found in a drawer the other day. I had forgotten about some, don't remember doing one, and want to add the finishing touches to at least one.
This would be late 1980's early 1990s. Just confirmed this is accurate with my Lil sis, as she is really good with dates.
These are GM & my wedding vows that I designed. I want to add pics to the two lower corners, and framing it would be a good idea. . .lol

My mil got me this kit for my birthday several years ago, they are gang gang cockatoos, and I think they are gorgeous!

My surname, done in Australiana. Love it! I will turn the pic the right way at some point. . .lol

A gorgeous winter scene, did it not too long after I moved to Australia.

Roses- this is supposed to be a pillow. I did the embroidery, liked them, and didn't put the pillow together. Must be from the 1990s.

A Tram- a beautiful design I found in an Australiana book I have.

This is embroidery I must have done it in the late 1980s also.

Gumnut Babies. So cute. It will be a bookmark when it grows up!

Precious Moments, I love this one. I bought the fabric with the pattern on it, cut it out, attached it to a piece of felt, and then embroidered the design.

A Platypus kit a girlfriend got me for my birthday a few years ago. I love wildlife!

Stunning butterfly. I found the pattern, but no idea when I stitched it. . .

This one is special. It is Precious Moments, and is the very first cross stitch I made for my mom. I framed it in construction paper, and it hung above her nightstand for ages. I found it while cleaning out after my mom passed away, and brought it home with me. I think I will frame it, and keep it hung in my house, near a pic of mom!

More Gumnut Babies. They are so cute. This was actually a pattern for rug yarn, on tapestry, but I used it for cross stitch to see what it would look like. I think it turned out okay.

I have no idea when I stitched this one either. I know that I want to finish it, and I have a beautiful idea in mind. I won't give it away just yet. But will, when I get to the finish line. :)

That's it for me for now. My blog, my drivel (–noun meaning: childish, silly, or meaningless talk or thinking; nonsense; twaddle.) New word of the day. :p
