Great minis everyone.

Finished this one a couple of days ago--not sure how I'm going to totally finish it yet, but the cross stitching part is complete now. This is called Here Comes Treble, and it is an Ink Circles Design. I used some of the antique white 18 count aida that Carole had sent me

Very pretty!!!!!!!!

I like that!

Love it! And so glad that the fabric was put to such great use. Very pretty!

LOL and that is just a small bit of the fabric--I'm currently working on more from that same piece--a design that Rick made--Night Owl --Thanks again Carole---I will get loads of use from what you sent

Really the person to thank is the one who donated the fabric to the Habitat Resale Store. I'm sure it must have belonged to someone who loved cross stitching to have gathered that much stash. I don't even have to look for it at the store since the staff bags it up and saves it for me. I'm hoping one day a stash of specialty threads show up. I am not likely to be so generous then

Very cute stitching and great find at the Habitat store.

Here is a needlebook cover I stitched up awhile ago. I put the 'pages' in today so it is finished.

I love it, especially that brilliant pink!

Wonderful!!!!!!

Lovely work!

@karen: I have that one too, I really like the look of the earth tones on that antique white... hmmmm

lovely stitching everyone

I made this graduation cap to put on a card for my friend Rachel...first time I tried fringing the edges, pretty happy with the result.

Also I haven't tried uploading photos on a forum before, so I hope this works! The preview isn't loading the image for me properly, could someone explain what I'm doing wrong?

What an adorable card. I'm sure your friend loved it.

To post the picture from photobucket, click on the image size you want (I usually click on IMG Thumb. You should see a fading "copy" appear. Then come back to your thread on the forum and paste it hear. You don't need to click on the Img box in the reply. Just copy and paste. Clicking on the thumbnail should take you to the larger photo. I don't remember if you have to change any settings or not. You can check this out by going to User settings (click on your user name to get to this) and click on Albums.

I'm pretty sure this is right, but if it isn't, someone will hopefully correct me. I fiddle a lot with programs and don't always remember exactly what I did.

Thank you, Carole! I'm just testing this again, think it will show up this time.

Love the graduation cap stitch!!

Very cute design and a thoughtful card!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely work everyone. That graduation cap is so simple but so effective

Agree with Mags and the fringing is so effective.

Thanks for all the lovely compliments! Here's another one I just finished last night. It's my friend's birthday on Weds, and she has a food blog and is always trying new recipes, so when I saw the pattern for this a few months ago, I saved it for her birthday present.



Now my minis are done, I can get back to my bigger project, which has been feeling rather neglected.
