Cross stitch anniversary cards

I nearly forgot about the anniversary cards for Leslie and Anders and for Emelie and Matthias.

Kreative Kiwi haunted houses

These haunted houses by Kreative Kiwi seemd to be quite popular on their FB page. I had to give one a try to send to Emelie. She had said she needed some Halloween decorations. I liked it so well that I decided to make one for Leslie, then I went ahead and made one for myself. They stitch out beautifully; and they use a rather unique technique to create an in-the-hoop design that is actually much larger than the hoop size I actually have. It's done by using several hoopings and connecting them to each other as you go along.

Fall decor

In changing over my décor from spring/summer to fall, I decided I'd like to have some napkins to coordinate with my pumpkin-print table cloth. I found the perfect fabric at Joanns. I made 6 dinner napkins, 4 cocktail napkins, 4 coasters, and a small candle mat.

Embellished towels and birthday card

Cross stitch birthday card

I embellished these towels for Emelie for her birthday and used the same fabric on her birthday card. I had used this fabric years ago to make placemats for her.

Mother's Day cards

Three Mother's Day cards: One for Leslie; one for Emelie, and one for my friend, Shirley.

Here are the calendar hangers for Sonja and Julia for November and December. "That's All Folks!"

Knit wedding afghan

This afghan was a wedding gift for my nephew and his new wife. It was knit with Lion Brand Heartland Yarn, Color Olympic. The pattern was Premier Yarns' Dakota Throw.
