I'm Still Stitching

I just wanted all of you to know that I am still stitching and participating in the TAST Challenge hosted at Pin Tangle.  Unfortunately, I can't post pictures yet...so I'm gonna have to leave you hanging.  But don't worry, when the time is right, I will post pictures.

Giveaway at Nicki Lee's

Nicki Lee is having a fantastic giveaway on her blog!  Check it out: http://cqnickilee.blogspot.com/

She also has a fantastic etsy shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ravioleedreams

I must say that her hand painted/dyed lace is fantastic!  I have had the opportunity to use some before and it is perfectly lovely and well painted.  You should stop by her shop sometime!

What I've been up to...

This block was done for a DYB round robin on CQI.  I stitched this whole block.  The snowman was my favorite.












This is the for the same DYB, but I only stitched a bit of this block.  I did the wavy beads and the straight stitched circles.










This is for a traditional round robin on CQI.  The lace was already part of the block, so I did a herringbone stitch around the heart.  I also did a stem stitch heart in the center with some spider web roses.








Here I did a yo-yo heart with a button center and a beaded ribbon coming out.











A while back, it actually snowed here!  So, what better thing to do, than snow paint!! So, I did...
