Free Style Embroidery Started

I finally started my freestyle embroidery and am almost done with it. I LOVE IT!!!! It is so much fun and now I have a bunch of themes I want to do. Once I decided on an idea it just snowballed and it works up so fast. I have pics to show you but our computer has died and I am using a borrowed laptop. But I will get pics posted soon. My main theme was from a talk Chad Hymas gave and it has really stuck with me and made me more aware. It is " THIS LIFE WAS NEVER ABOUT YOU". If you ever get a chance to hear him speak it is SO worth it. Look him up and his story. He's AMAZING!!! I've also been making domino necklaces with the characters from Bonanza and The Monkees, for my daughter and her friends. They are quite fun. Gotta run for now. Have a great weekend. Remember to be the same person on your feet as you are on your knees.

I Found Her!!!

This is where I saw the tutorial and kind of changed mine around a bit. Thanx

Look What I Made

These are now in my etsy shop.....http://www.etsy.com/shop/smellikelli
I call them You Hold My Heart and then I've given them each a name.This one is called Green With Envy. These I saw at a blog  and now I can't find her. If you find her let me know so I can give her credit. She inspired me to make some and I'm still perfecting them. Let me know what you think... Thanx

This Is Why I've Been Missing

 

I've been babysitting my little granddaughter Addy since her mama started a new job, and today they moved to a new apt, so we all went to help. I've been working on some cute spit rags for my Etsy shop and I did make some domino pendants to sell. I'll show pics as soon as I get a second. I want to wish every Mom a GREAT MOMMIES DAY  and will be back soon. Thanx for visiting.
