I've completed my very first Biscornu!
I've been admiring these for so long and was pretty intimidated about trying to make one but after going through Mary Kathryn's instructions, I can't believe I haven't tried one sooner! Her website is awesome and very easy to follow. I started stitching Monday night and by suppertime yesterday, I had it completed and fully assembled. Since I have never made one before, I wasn't really careful with my sizing so my Biscornu turned out to be 2" x 2"! LOL! The above picture shows it with my embroidery scissors to give you an idea of size. I love it though. It's so cute :o)
I used 28 count Flax Cashel linen along with The Thread Gatherer's Silk 'N Colors Finnegan's Fog. I got the pattern at My Aunt's Attic but I'm not sure who the designer is. For the bottom of my Biscornu, I just improvised. You can bet I will be making another one of these in the future :o)
I talked to my lawyer yesterday after he had a chat with J. Unfortunately I cannot get a new caseworker at this time because J is the one responsible for my company :o( She is, however, to deal directly with my lawyer for the next little while :oP Apparently she did an about face with my lawyer explaining that she hadn't looked at my file for six months and that she made a mistake. Apparently she wanted me to continue working so that I could keep my stamina up. Ya, right! Nice try J! J, your words are so full of crap that I can smell you from here. There are a few more things to wrap up but it looks like things are getting straightened around. Unfortunately more money is being spent on the lawyer but I have to say, he is worth every penny just to picture the look on J's face ;o)

Go "good guys"! (rasberry to bad guys)
You stitch so fast it seems. Do you have enslaved elves, or have you taught Brie how to stitch?, lol. Nice work! ;)
Now that I think of it, I'm probably stitching so slow because I'm always on this computer ;)
Your biscornu is very pretty. Nice job ;)
I love it !!! That is so cute.
Very cute!
You're lucky to have found a good lawyer to help you through this.
Very pretty! You did a great job. I'm gald that J is now sining a different tune...wouldn't you have loved to be a fly on the wall when she had to back track over her words. :)
glad the lawyer is doing what he is paid for
nice b thingy ;O)
I love your biscornu!! It turned out so well. I used Mary Kathryn's instructions for the one biscornu I made and they're excellent. I like the small size..the one I made was quite big so I'm going to make a smaller one next time.
I love your biscornu--very pretty!!
