On Tuesday, I finally got to pick up my ceramic Doxie from The Clay Cafe :o) Even though this was my very first time painting ceramics, I'm quite pleased with the results -
It's so hard to tell if you have every inch covered when it's in the matted stage. I do see where I will have to improve my technique but that's okay because this is a learning process and I'm having so much fun with it :o) I hope that I will be able to give this to my Gram this weekend.
Brie, on the other hand, is none too thrilled with the new addition -
She couldn't quite believe her ears when I told her it was her replacement ;o) Btw Karen, I hope this is a good Brie fix for you. LOL!
I have a non-stitchy finish to share with you. Since Becky received the scissor fob that I made for her, I can now post it to my Blog -
I just couldn't resist making this for her when I saw the little silver bees :o) The charm at the end really comes from some bee soap that I was given and it represents part of a honeycomb. Cool huh?
On our trip, I tucked a Mill Hill kit into my purse so I could stitch while DH drove. I'm happy to say that I FINALLY have my first stitchy finish for 2008!!!! WOOHOO! This is My Best Friend -
I'm not exactly sure just how I want to finish him off though. He comes with a pin but states you can only attach the dog bowl or the bone. Well, I want to attach both so it might end up being an ornament. We'll see. Since the kit had beads, it was good practice for me. With Stargazer's beading looming in the near future, I figured it was a good time to sharpen my skills. I even managed to bead while travelling in the car! How's that ;o)
