A few new projects

Didn't get much done in the past few days. A few things, but not a lot. My hairdresser is moving to California and she did my hair for the last time yesterday. I made a few parting gifts for her, including a wreath and an altered sketchbook. I have to admit that I was crying a little bit when she was done. She's been such an amazing friend to me. Ladies, if there is ever someone that you should trust entirely, it's your hairdresser. She even did my hair for the wedding and really made me feel beautiful. So thanks for everything, Ally! Hope things go great for you in California!

Now for the things I did get done! For some time I've been wanting a needle book. I need somewhere to keep them seeing as they kept finding their way to my feet! I did some looking around and didn't really find anything that I liked. So I dug through the scrap piles and made my own!

I also made another one that I intend to sell.

Also bought some vintage metal buttons on ebay. I'm hoping to make a bunch of these needle books up for the craft show I'm going to on November 12th. It's taking place at the Armory in Dover, OH. Feel free to stop by and see me!

I'll also be at Valley Merry Christmas in Magnolia, OH on November 26th and 27th. Lots of vendors, food, and fun! For more information visit this site.

I tea stained some fabric scraps today and made the bases for rag ball ornaments.

In cross stitch land, I've been working on a few different projects. Two are Christmas presents, so no showing those yet! The other two I can share. I've been working on Tux (the linux mascot) for Mr. Husband as a belated birthday present. It's been laid aside so I could work on a gift for a mug exchange I'm in. Shout out to my fellow redditors! I'm working on a coffee cup sleeve for my giftee. He listed ufo's as one of his interests, so I'm running with it. Here's what I have so far.

 

Tomorrow, Mummsy and I are heading to Amish country to pick up some home-baked goodies. Hopefully, we'll stop in a few antique shops, too!

Cheers!
