A Couple Finishes

Here's two that I finished a couple years ago.  The first is Something in Common Woodland Owls and the other is Stitchy Kitty Meow Spoken Here.   The first one hangs on our tree and the kitty one my daughter and I gave to our vet for Christmas.   I have another kitty one finished on smaller count floba for us, just haven't gotten around to finishing it.
 
 
 

 
I'm currently working on Goode Huswife Currants Coxcomb and Rose, Just Nan Winter Hearts Humbug and Cinnamon Heart Needleworks Cinnamon Samplings that I'd like to make into a stitching bag.   I have a yellow one but it's too pretty to take anywhere, so I would like to make it from wool felt and put a zipper in it and pockets ... it's gotta have pockets.  The other two that have been waiting for a while are Bent Creek Quaker Thankful and Jeremiah Junction Nutcracker Factory.  I also finished two humbugs -  and filled them with those crushed walnut shells.  One is a lavender freebie and other is an unknown design - I have more pictures to take so just in case someone finds my blog ... they will have something to look at.   I'm surprised the cats haven't gotten interested in them yet.   But then walnut shells don't smell very tempting.
 This is Sweetheart Tree Blue Mountain Bunny done with assorted Waterlilies and chose instead those tiny pastel buttons and heart charm instead of the ones in the pattern.  I moved things around a bit to make space for the year and my initials.   Those silks are so much fun to work with!


 
 My daughter and I have also enjoyed going out looking for rocks.   I've always wanted to make a rock garden ... well that still hasn't happened but I found so many pretty ones.   These are, of course, my favorites.   I found them at a nearby river just like this along with other small chunks.

I have joined the Just Nan SAL so at the end of this month I will be posting a picture of something, probably Winter Hearts.   Here is Wildflower Wishes that I finished a couple years ago, done up as a flatfold.
