Design Wall Monday

A look at what I’ve done this past week, and what I’m working on.  Here is a close-up of one of the 28 Valentine’s Day cards I stitched up on Saturday.  Nothing fancy, to be sure, but I thought the fabric was adorable for an at-the-beach card.

Our “crafting group” (such a catchy name, don’t you think???) made these easy coasters from this tutorial.  They were a huge hit, and a fun easy way to use up some stash and have some gifts ready to give in the process!

I’m working on this Patricia B. Campbell Tree of Life 1 applique’d wall hanging.  Not much progress, I know.  I had a comment last week about perhaps not having enough contrast between the rocks and the background (although not many of the rocks are in place yet this week).  For better or for worse, this is intentional.  I am hoping the rocks look like they are coming forth from the “ground”.  We’ll see how it goes…I may end up changing fabrics out…I’ve been wrong before! 

Socks:  I’m STILL working on the same sock as I’ve been working on for quite a few days now…ready to do the heel flap, so that’s always exciting!  It will start to really look like a sock.  No photo this week, toooooo boring!

Other News: I have a give-away starting today, so click here for the give-away posting. Your comment(s) MUST be on the give-away posting(s) to be included in the drawing, although I would love it if you commented here also — it just won’t be your entry in the drawing.

Give-Away!!! Day 1…

In celebration of the 100,000th visit to my blog, I thought a give-away would be in order.  In thinking about a theme, I thought since the whole country has had less than ideal weather this winter, it would be fun to take you all to the beach!  Well, that’s not quite in my budget, so one person will get a package containing some items from the beach town of Port Aransas, Texas.  There are lots of gift shops and fun places to explore in town, and here’s a selection that I’ve put together from my shopping forays:
