A Halloween Finish

I did this stitchery some time ago and then never did anything with it.

I recently came across it and actually had some Halloween fabric to use with it.

So, Hooray!! I got something completed. lol


I used the backing fabric to wrap around and make the binding on the front. I'm not sure if I'll leave it like it is or if I'll add some buttons in the corners or something like that to jazz it up.

If you'd like to stitch one for yourself, you can find the free pattern at Feeling Stitchy. I used crayons to color in my stitching and then ironed (with a cloth covering the colored portions) to set the color.

It's a great way to add even more depth to your stitching.

Boot Cuffs

I made these cuffs for my daughter, Kirsten, last year for Christmas. 


Or maybe I should say that I crocheted them, but didn't get the buttons sewn on until just recently.


How sad is that? The problem was that I couldn't find any buttons that I really liked. Frankly, I'm not crazy about these, but I figured I really should finish them so that she could have them.




It was a really quick and easy pattern, but I've since lost it. I've looked everywhere and just can't seem to find it - online or in print. If I come across it, I'll be sure to come back and post it here.
