What I have been up to...

Haven't posted in a few days as I have not been feeling well. Today I mainly layed around and watched "That 70's show" marathon That we recorded the other day.

I did start embroidering on one of the heart patterns, could have finished it but my head was pounding so bad I just couldn't do it anymore.

This is what it looks like so far~




Should be able to finish the roses in the center sometime this weekend. I haven't yet figured out exactly what I will be making with it, I am using the pattern for the sachet but I think it will probably just be a small wall hanging. I may even try and quilt it when it's done, don't know for sure.That is one thing I like about these type of patterns, you can put them on any fabric, and you can use them for whatever you want. I have been checking out some of the BOM's out there right now and have been saving up and printing out many of the free ones. I am really hoping to make some nice small wall hangings to practice my quilting on. I want to make something for my craft room and have decided that the room will be pinks and white's. The walls are white and my shleving is white so I plan on finding as many things with pink or even red to go with that. I have changed my mind so many times on what color I want in here, but I really want it to look country and to look girly, so I figure pink and white will do. I have some patterns that have sewing and quilting things on them so when I have finished up with my Valentine's day things I think I will start on that...

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I have lots of housework to catch up on but Roger has said he will help with that..

I finished reading the Duggar book a couple of days ago and it was real good. There were some things that I wanted to say about the book, things that I read in it that were very interesting but right now just don't feel like typing anymore..
Enjoy the picture of the heart embroidery..

  4. Joann,
    Your embroidery project is looking really pretty. About the only embroidery I have done lately is some primitive embroidery. I usually use red floss so I guess you would say it is redwork. LOL Hope you feel better soon! Winona
