Unfinished Projects...

1. Butterfly Breakfast Towel. (I just can't make that fourth butterfly right)





















2. This blue dishcloth. (This was actually the first thing I've ever done in cross-stitch. That's probably why I've never finished it...)
  








3. Orange and Yellow Table Cloth. (For this one I have an excuse: it is huge!)

Flowered Bookmark

 





 Another small project that I was able to conclude. 
 Although it is a little bit crooked, I really like how it came out, especially the color combination.
 This was the first project of this kind that I've made and I would love to make some more to sell because it's relatively easy to get them done and at the same time the result is always something unique.

Here is the final product before leaving my house to meet its new owner.

first sale

In the past days I've been working in a little project that was ordered by a colleague of mine. 
We were having a class when she looked at my cross-stitch pencil case (that my mom did ten eighteen or nineteen years ago, or something like that). Then I had this crazy idea of asking her if she wanted me to make her one and... she said yes!
So I spend one morning searching for cute samplers of houses, then she chose one and I started stitching. 
Today I made a customized tag - that will probably be one of a kind, since the Husband offered help to make another one - and now I just have to sew it all up!
