iPod and Cellphone holders

I found the pattern to make these on DMC.com, and they really turned out cute.  I had to adjust some to make them fit properly, plus I figured out how to leave a space at the bottom of the iPod case for the cord to plug into it.  I kinda like having something that no one can just buy in a store - people have asked me where I got them and it is so cool to say, "I made them myself!"

Heart cross-stitch

I made this for my dad and stepmom when they got married, but sadly among those that somehow haven't made it into the frame. The problem is that I discovered from one I had made my mom many years ago that marks from the hoop showed up after awhile. I wanted to figure out how to clean that one and this one before I put this one in a frame. Oxi-clean seems to have worked, but I'm still afraid of putting it in the frame my stepmom got because she has an adhesive backing that if it does show marks down the road I may not be able to fix it.

Cat Home cross-stitch

It has been entirely too long since I've posted something here. I made this cross stitch for myself just because when I saw it in the store I thought it was so cute and so appropriate for my love of cats. It took FOREVER because it is huge - I had to get a 11x15 frame for it. The picture is a little blurry - I'll try to take a better one with my new camera (a Kodak EasyShare Z812!) soon.

The Hamster Dance!!

My Monday needs some amusement and energy to get the day going. I saw "Office Space" for the first time in my life this last weekend (yes, I know, where have I been?), and I would say that I definitely have "a case of the Mondays". So without further ado, here is the Hamster Dance just because it is cute and catchy.

Rose, Blue & Cream afghan

I made this one for myself, too, a few years ago and I really love how the blue and the rose colors go together. What was really fun about it is that each square is a different crochet stitch, so I got to learn a whole bunch of different stitches and make something beautiful at the same time.

Mah-na Mah-na

I had to put this up here sometime or another, and this is to all the youth from Faith UMC in Twinsburg, I miss you guys.

Lion & Lamb cross-stitch

I made this several years ago for a friend who was adopting a girl from Korea. It took me way too long to get it done, that then when I finished the stitching I felt embarassed that it was way after she got her daughter and so never got around to framing it and actually giving it to her. One of these days I need to just get over my feeling ashamed, and just get it framed and give it to her.
