Just a couple of things

This is what I have been working on for the past week in the little spare time that I have.  This is a Victorian Style heart that I made with a spray of Silk Ribbon Embroidery (SRE) Roses on each side of the heart.  A Victorian Photograph that I printed out and then cut out the lady.  She is perched in the pocket and looks like she is sitting comfortably.  There are more Silk Ribbon Embroidery Roses on the pocket and on the hearts that are spilling out of the pocket.  I had some beaded string which I sewed to the hearts as a border.




 The following are ornaments that I made for my Victorian Style Christmas tree.  They are a crochet pineapple design and then I added flowers and ribbon.  They look beautiful on the tree and fit in very nicely with all of my other Victorian Decorations.

The Etc. Part of Crazy Quilting

I am on a roll.  I am doing better than I thought I would... my third posting.... Wow!  I wasn't able to work on my crazy quilting projects but I have noticed that this blog makes me want to do more, so that I will have items to post.

Since I didn't have any crazy quilting to display, I thought that I would post some other projects that I have done.  This is a set of doilies that I made over the summer.  The design is from Leisure Arts Leaflet 2177 "Pineapple Doilies".  The instructions were very easy to follow.  I just had to make sure I marked where I left off when I set it down.  Otherwise, it took me a while to figure out which row I was on to continue the pattern.  I am very happy with how they turned out and I love the pineapple design.  I am torn as to whether I will keep them or give them away as a gift.
