I’d like to say I’ve been busy. But unless being busy being lazy counts… As an apology for being away so long, few words many pictures.
Lizzie Kate Flip-Its complete through June. One day I’ll get a good picture of this. Threads as charted, fabric Bo Peep Pink lugana.
Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow, over 1 with NPI on 40ct. Tape measure so you can see just how small this works up.
Snow Queen’s Slipper. Stitched as charted, 2010 taken from Black Velvet sampler.
Matching scissor sheath. The scissors are from Dinky Dyes. There is a matching fob, I have it stitched, but still have to do the finishing. I do have a step by step photo tutorial on my Facebook account, message me if you need help in finishing. (note, you will need to buy the kit! my tutorial will only help you if you own the design)
Box I made for the Chatelaine smalls exchange. The top is from Medieval Town Mandala, the box itself is made from yellow silk dupioni (which is a match for the yellow silk in the roses, it didn’t photograph well). Making Hand Sewn Boxes is where I found the directions for box making.
And this was what I received in exchange! It’s so much prettier in person. Stitched on Opal fabric for extra sparkle. Japanese Box is one of my favorite Chatelaine designs so this made me extra happy.
I’ve also been doing some reading (as always). My current favorite series is Downside Ghosts, the series starts with Unholy Ghosts and book 3 City of Ghosts is releasing on Tuesday. If you like Urban Fantasy at all do yourself a favor and go buy these.
I have more photos (somewhere… need to sort things) and I have finished Mom’s quilt. I’m hoping to be back more often, but don’t count on it until school starts. And since we’re starting to get close… Yes, there will be a Halloween giveaway this year. So don’t quit on me when I don’t have much to show for the next 2 or 3 months. 😉

Wow! You have been busy! I am in love with that shoe!
No kidding! You’ve been totally busy! Great job on the flip-its. Love your shoe/sheath and the Chatelaine box? Oh my! Great job!
Wow! That slipper is too cute!
Great work on every thing else.
Lovely eye candy! That little slipper is just gorgeous.
Well, with all your pretty finishes it looks like you’ve been busy to me! LOVE that slipper, it’s absolutely darling! Keep up the great work girl!
Wow, everything looks gorgeous! Love the slipper and love the box!
Wow, no wonder you haven’t had time to blog…you’ve been busy stitching and doing incredible finishing. This looks great Missy! Now, don’t be a stranger around here girl!
Only because I behaved myself like a good little exchange organizer you or Shell were not my partner. I KNEW it would be amazing.
Lovin’ the project progress, but totally feeling guilt that my Snow Queen Slipper is languishing stitched but unfinished on my table….
Did you enjoy making the box? It turned out beautiful. Wonderful projects, so you’ve been busy with more than being lazy, although this summer has lent itself very well to the whole “be lazy and don’t move from the air conditioning” frame of mind I find myself in a lot.
Woo! You’ve been very busy. CaHRH over one? You’re my new idol.
Darnit, your “question” got me again–It’s been so long that I’m out of practice, and of course my comment got tanked. It was mostly about That Shoe! Amazingly all-done and wonderful. Everything looks great; good to hear from you and looking forward to Hallowe’en. 😀
So good to hear from you!!
Well, it looks to me like you’ve been busy! 🙂 Everythign is just beautiful! I especially love that shoe, and the box. Awesome finishing m’dear!!!
And, kudos to you for tackling CHRH over ONE on 40ct!! I think I might be tempted to stab my eyes out with my needle, lol. 🙂 I did 1/1 on 40ct on a teeny tiny little project… and I’m not sure I ever want to again! YGG!!
You’re forgiven since you brought pictures:) You have been busy, I love the box you made for the Chatelaine exchange!
Ahhh – all is right with the world again – you have blogged. I am so freakin’ in love with the MTM box. And the yellow silk, the yellow silk is my kryptonite. Gorgeous. I am so glad that you went with the yellow. And CAHRH over one on 40ct!! I can’t even manage to get my Shores worked on over two. And the exchange piece you received in return – I would be thrilled too!! Glad to have you back!
Hi there – you say you have a tutorial for the Snow Queen Slipper. I would love to see it. Can you tell me your facebook name – pretty please. Your stitching is outstanding and I love your choices of projects.
OMG! ALL of your stitching is fabulous! Love the blue slipper! CaHRH is looking fabulous! I have yet to start mine as I’m feeling compelled to finish a couple of my big WIPS before I start any other huge ones.
oh wow!!! you did an amazing job with your slipper, i luv your finishings and you did a great job with all the beads especailly around the pincushion……i know how difficult putting the slipper together is, and i have to say that your slipper is the prettiest one ive seen! :o) ……well done!
luv from olga. (uk)
