The Bride

I absolutely loved this Lavender & Lace pattern - I'm a sucker for pretty dresses, especially bridal gowns.  I ended up listing it in my Etsy shop and someone bought it for a wedding present!

To Love and Cherish

I made this beautiful wedding sampler for my little sister.  Her wedding colors were pink and green and her middle name is Rose, so this design was perfect.  And it was fun including an actual photo on top of the stitching.

Baa Baa Black Sheep

This was a little project, but since it was for my mom, it gets a spot in my gallery, too.  She spins her own yarn, so loved these little designs and asked me to stitch them for her.  Very quick and fun to stitch - especially the french knot wool on the sheep!

The Lord's Prayer

Beautiful pattern!  I made this twice to sell in my shop - one of them is still available.  Always a joy to see each little flower and bee come to life!

Gloria red rose

I found this pattern at my local cross stitch store and HAD to have it, since I love roses!  After it sat half finished in my stash for awhile, it became a candidate for putting in my Etsy shop.  Such a joy to stitch!

The Lord is my Shepherd

Another WIP that I finished up to sell in my shop.  One of my friends actually found it on there and bought it - she was looking for some scripture to decorate her apartment and this fit the bill!

Needleart Silhouette

Around this time, I was gearing up to open my Etsy shop - mainly as an avenue to motivate me to finish some of the WIPs in my stash.  This was the first one that I got out to finish - very pretty!
