Wedding Gift

Savanna and Chris' wedding present, from Sublime Stitching's Ryan Berkley transfers, were a perfect gift (and a nice distraction from my Twin Peaks marathon). The couple's cat is named Navy and Savanna made Mr. & Mrs. Fox outfits for Halloween this year, so I chose to make the cat and fox transfers.

Ms. Kitty: Split stitch, satin stitch, stem stitch, French knots (in gold), backstitch

Mr. Fox: Split stitch, back stitch, stem stitch, French knots

The happy couple, ready to go to their new home.

Dr. Seuss

Triple C and I made these from a kit we found at the store where we bought a mat for my Master's diploma. Celebrating adult accomplishments with Dr. Seuss!

Duvet

A few months ago, I bought a three-way futon from my neighbor. After stuffing extra padding into the futon case, the zipper broke. Solution? Duvet cover for the futon cushion!

I left a lot of "stuffing room" for more padding if I want it.

Truly

Does a Master's thesis count as a craft? After months of research, writing, and revising, I finally had a moment for embroidery. Here's a little present I made for Ingrid.
