Info on past, present, and future crafting projects that I've had my fingers on =)  More to come soon, really!

"Cat on Quilt"

So I started this 'little' cross-stitch project (finished size will be roughly 10"x12") back in November as a therapy of sorts.  It was going to be a kind of parting gift for the mother-in-law I didn't end up having.  She's a wonderful lady =)  Anyway, along came April and spring, and I didn't feel the need for such therapy anymore... Thus one of my latest stalled projects.  I'm hoping seeing this here will prod me to finish it someday soon!

"Tree of Life"

Yet another confessed stalled cross-stitch project... and I started this one ten years ago.  Note that this is not the actual stitched piece because that's packed away right now.  The central image is done as is most of the work under it, but I have yet to begin stitching the border.  The border shown is one of my own design that I made after the original design was lost...  Since I found that old copy, now I'll be forced to choose between one and the other =)  Maybe it'll be done in another ten years!
 
 

Necklace in a study of amber browns

This is a necklace I started putting together probably a few months prior to the '02 Christmas season. As you can see, it turned into a study of amber brown beads from my collection =)  Two of the larger ones I remember buying about 7 years ago for a pair of earrings that never happened...  After staring at the beads off and on for a few months, I decided to focus on turning them into a Christmas gift for my mother.  I think the nicest thing about this project (next to satisfaction from actually finishing it) was hearing that mother has actually worn it several times already!
