Key holder. I was inspired by Tattfae's projects - especially the key holder she had, so I designed up one of my own. What do you think? I will share my design if you are interested. The black holder has a snap with a grommet for the keyring. The bro
Another Couch Potato quilt done. Embroidery designs from Kreative Kiwi Embroidery. Judging from the smile on my great-neice's face, I think she likes it!
Cat butt key chains. I had so much fun making the shamrock key chains, I decided to try my own hand at making a pattern. I saw a crochet pattern for a cat butt mug rug, so took that picture and drew my own. You can't see it clearly in the picture, bu

Well, I won"t be able to do any crafting for the next 3 months or so, and it's not warm enough to do gardening yet (it's below freezing today here in western Canada). Why? Well, I had to get my pinky finger joint on my right hand fused yesterday. I
Halloween tea towels. Bought the towels last year from Nancy's Notions and finally found the perfect designs. The designs are VERY stitch heavy (over 25,000 stitches per). The ghostly trio has over 32,000 stitches and 200 jumps!!! Needless to say, th
Fall tablecloth & napkins Here's a fall tablecloth and napkins I made for a client. Her son is getting married in October and will be moving to the US. She wanted something that would remind him of Canada. The design is from Embroidery Library.
Pillow cases for charity. I have been busy trying to get some Christmas gifts done for the cancer clinic patients. Here are some of the pillow cases I have made. They all fit a standard/queen size pillow. I am making some quilts as well and hope to ge
