Starlite & Mr. Monkey









 
Monkey on my back.

Starlite & Mr. Monkey
Designed by TammyK
Sewn on 14 ct. plastic

I didn't know whether to call this one Rainbow Brite or Starlite - as you can see I went with Starlite. This one's pose-able like the others, only difference is, the monkey's head is also pose-able. The monkey is stitched using Fuzzy Stuff (which I love!) but it can also be stitched using DMC floss.

Any Grey's Anatomy fans out there?  I'm sooo addicted to this show.

Until next time, keep on stitching :o)

Kirsten & Mr. Bear

My house isn't cleaned & I haven't done my daily exercise routine BUT.... I did manage to finish my latest cross stitch ornament.  I threw some dmc floss, fuzzy stuff, beads, golden rings, plastic canvas, snaps & a hint of Tammy creativity into a pot, said abracadabra & here's what came out.

Introducing Kristen & Mr. Bear. It's not often that I really like the way something turns out but I simply adore this little ornament & as you can see she & the bear are pose-able. She measures 5 & 1/2 in. tall by 2 & 1/2 in. wide. The perfect size for an ornament. If you are interested in this pattern just leave me a comment on this post letting me know that you want it & be sure that I have your e-mail addy  and I'll get it e-mailed out to you asap. Until next time, keep on stitching!

Frankie & Friend Pillow

I've been busy sewing this little pillow for the past few days. Sadly to say it didn't turn out like the one in the magazine. I just can't put material together & sew - these hands were made for cross stitching only. I took a pic but I'm not happy.

We took a trip a few days to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky near Cincinnati Ohio. It was really cool & I highly recommend it if anyone is in that area & looking for something to do. This is a pic of my son (in the white shirt) & my nephew.

Been working on a Christmas ornament, maybe I'll have it finished in a couple days. Keep an eye out for it. Until next time, keep on stitching.

With October coming up & it being breast cancer awareness month I thought I'd design a little something to remember the cause. My mom's presently fighting the disease so this is for her & all the other women out there that's fighting too. Hang in there. This is offered as another freebie so if you want it, you know what to do. Until next time, keep on stitching :o)

Froggy Went Trick or Treating

Froggy Went Trick or Treating
by ~Tammy K
Sewn on 14 ct. plastic & 14 ct. aida.

This little guy turned out cuter than I had anticipated. Plastic canvas & 14 ct. oatmeal aida makes this one up. It's hard to see in the pic but the circles on the sides are suckers. The sucker sticks are white beads. I got a feeling froggy may do more things in the future :o) Want the pattern, leave me a message on this post & make sure I have your e-mail address.

I knew she had a name but didn't know what until Lori brought it to my attention & so shall it ever be :o) This one brought out my dark side a bit :o) I designed this chart, got some dmc floss, plastic canvas, beads, golden rings & went to work. Measures 3 1/2 in. x 3 3/4 in. The golden rings are just jewelry making accessories that's found in Hobby Lobby or Wal-Mart's craft section. Leave a message on this post if you want the chart & make sure I have your addy. Until next time, keep on stitching!
