Another Drum........

I really like making these drums.....I wonder how many Stacy Nash designs there are for them.  I love the flower basket in this one.....there is suppose to be a bird on top but mine didn't look like a bird so I left it off.....  Linda

Drum Roll.......

I finally finished one on my own.  My first drum I stitched on the wrong size of linen so it turned out pretty large; my second I had help from Stacy in class and this one I did on my own.  The drum below is designed by Stacy Nash.  I have had this in my to do pile for quite some time but after taking my Stacy class earlier this month I pulled it out and stitched it up this week. You would be amazed at the amount of saw dust you can stuff away in these.......

I might have to do another one of these....turned out really cool.

Stacy's Class was sooooo fun!!!!!

A week ago I took a class from Stacy Nash in Sycamore IL.....here are some pictures that were taken during the class.  Stacy Nash Class Pictures.  We had a great time and learned a lot of little secrets.

Her sister also joined us and shared some of her great cakepops.  She has a dessert business lillycakes1.com.

Enjoy the pictures.

Sampler Finish

I finally finished this sampler I have been working on since this winter.  I took it with me on vacation last week and made some progress.  Sorry for the glare on the glass.....I'm not a great photographer...... on to my next one.....  Linda

Secret Envelope Swap

Thank you so much to Wendy from Ravenwood Whimzies for being my secret envelope swap sister.  Look at all the neat things she made......

This Vine - Hooked Rug

Finally finished....I started this rug back in November in a class I took with Maggie Bonanomi.  I really struggled with finishing it because it felt too "green"....  the pattern is This Vine by Janice Johnson, http://www.woolywoolen.com/patterns_ww_thisvine.html.  Here is a picture of Janice's version - it's fun to see how the same pattern can turn out so different.  I guess it's not totally finished I still have to finish the edges.  Linda

A This and That Necklace

What a hot weekend.  Stayed inside and worked on my hooked rug and put together this necklace from odd ball pieces of old jewelry and misc parts.  This was sure fun to make...made another one just like it but with a yellow brooch for the center.  Stay cool!  Linda
