Valentine Stitcheries

Wow! I could get used to only posting just a few pics, as opposed to the 50 million I usually do, LOL!! This will be another quickie, so be prepared...HA!

Here's just a few things I've been working on lately...now remember, these are a bit more darker tea-dyed than what it shows here, cuz of my wonderful flash again... these are adapted from a Chestnut Junction pattern. I added a little bit of lace to this one and some buttons.
A little birdie w/X's and O's around the bottom. I used an old piece of Debbie Mumm fabric on the bottom to give it a little more color. Sorry it looks a bit washed out.

Here is a cross stitch from the very talented Christine of Preferably Prim, which she designed herself and gave out as a freebie. I loved the way it turned out. I used 18 ct. linen, worked over two threads and # 8 pearl cotton for the thread and if you look closely, I used 2 ivory heart buttons, which don't show up too well in this pic, but thought it needed something on both sides to even it out.

Thanks again Christine, you did a wonderful job designing this one!

And to keep w/the Valentine theme, I recently made this Sour Cream Cherry Coffee Cake. It was a little sweet for hubby's and my tastes, but oldest son loved it! But then again, he'll eat almost anything. LOL I found the recipe over at Mommy's Kitchen on my sidebar.

Well, I'll be back w/a few more Val. things to show ya real soon. I've got a candle mat I designed and a few more stitchy things that are almost finished to share w/you, so don't forget to come back and check them out.

Here's your quote for today: "Happiness is.....opening the door to see the smiling face of an old friend."

**P.S. Just a reminder ~ don't forget to contact me if you want to be included in my RAK's this yr. The info is on the previous post. I've already sent out a couple of things and I plan to send out several more, plus a give~away coming up soon!
