Ugh I find myself lagging on this, partly because my projects are long term and because I feel like I'm writing to myself. Well, self, here are some projects I've finished recently. My friends birthday last week and her favorite animal is a giraffe, it even has a fring-t mane :]

New favorite recipe- Caprese pasta. Here's a picture before it went in the pyrex dish. All the mozzerella melts in the oven and is sooo yummy.

Made a book wreath for a friend by request. This time with pink buttons, hope she likes it!

Now off for a week in San Diego going to Sea World and the other parks! Yay!

new embroidered canvases.

For my little sisters birthday, she's 14, I started making a set of canvases to go in her newly painted purple/lavender room. I painted the canvases and used a lace detail to add some extra character. I then embroidered the things she had picked out. I like the way they turned out and still have one more to make, I need to find a pattern that we like.
The picture doesn't show it but there are some seed beads sewn into one of the black lines, and a chain stitch was also used on one of the upper silver strands.
My favourite, I used the satin thread too which really makes it pop when you see it in person.
