WHAT I’VE BEEN UP TO LATELY

Hello everyone! I hope life is being good to you all. I haven’t been very active on here lately, but I want to show you all what I’ve been working on. These past couple of months I’ve been very busy and I have too many WIP’s (works in progress). My problem is I see way too many cute patterns or I get an idea for something and BAM…I have to start it right then.

One of the projects that is near and dear to my heart is this piece designed by @vikasspace on Instagram.

year long project hosted by Vika

It has been a year long project that feels like I just started yesterday. I swear this year has went by way too fast. Every week I fill in a space and there are only two weeks left! I decided to use a 12 inch hoop for this project but there are others who decided on huge hoops. I’m also using Perle thread as that is what Vika prefers. I can’t wait to frame this and hang it up in my craft room.

I remember when the album Songs in A minor by Alicia Keys came out. I wore that CD out! I loved that she played the piano and she seemed so easygoing and cool. I remember going to one of her concerts and crying the whole time LOL!

So I hope you all like otters because if not…….we can’t be friends. I mean, look at their cute little faces!

So this is my unfinished work. It still needs a lot of love!

I love needle painting but it’s a slow process!

My final WIP is a simple free pattern that I got off of DMC website. I wanted something simple that I could do on the sofa while I’m watching TV.

I decided to use lace as my base fabric. I did trace my design on some water soluble interfacing because it was kind of difficult to trace on the lace.

I hope everyone enjoys their holidays. I have a lot of plans for the new year. I really want to open up my store and sell some cool merchandise. So keep your eyes peeled for that! I hope you all have an awesome week :)!
