Crown for Cattleya

Hi Tywanna here!  Time is really flying by since my last post.  I have been busy making this cute lil' hat for Cattleya.  3-step process:

 Making the brim

Shaping the crown

Final product

And I will say job well knitted, gorgeous!  

Strawflower

I finished Strawflower and framed it myself.  I know the person that wins this picture is going to treasure it for many years to come or so I hope.  This is my second time cross stitching this piece and the third time will be for me.

Next project working on is for the NC State Fair, titled Clowning Around.

I added the finishing touches on Strawflower.  Next, I will shop around for a particular frame to go with the picture.

My next project is 1865 Freedom.

Today is a good day to lay in bed...., rain for some reason makes me want to take a snooze.  On the stitching side of things, I am coming right along on Strawflower.  Once completed, I will shop around for the perfect frame.  Thank you God for giving me this talent to make art.

TGIF, I am so ready for the weekend.  Time to relax, take more time out for myself and enjoy life.  While I am doing all those things, I will be stitching on Strawflower.  After two days of not stitching, I started back on this piece last night. Take a look

I love how this piece is coming along and I even love the colors.  I even love this woman with her hand on her hip.  As a child growing up, I remember being around ladies like this.  These women took no mess, handled their business and kept it moving.

Once I finish this project, I am trying to decide on what to cross stitch next.  Maybe I will do a lil' crown since the NC State Fair is right around the corner or maybe I will do a tribute to Ford.

WIP, Strawflower

I have started on another beautiful cross stitch called Strawflower.  I stitched and framed this piece many years ago that I cannot remember the year and sold it on Ebay.  This one will be given out as a raffle at our family reunion.

I finally finished Sitting Happily Together.  This is my 2nd cross stitch conversion to African American and what a cute face.

Next, I am going to begin stitching Strawflower, Designs O'Bryan, for the family reunion to raffle as a prize.
