Crowned

I put a crown in the middle of the pin keep for the June Retreat (next week!).  I wanted to put an "A" on the other side but I couldn't find one that I liked and that was the right size.  I really like how the crown turned out so I could just put it on the other side too.  I used over dyed thread and wasn't sure it would look good but I love it.  Might as well do the other side the same.

I finished up the stitching on the Stitching Chair Necessaire.  Yeah!  Now I am withdrawing threads for the hem stitching.  There is weighted cording to put in the hems on the ends.  I've never even heard of weighted cording.

  This baby is almost d-o-n-e!

I printed out some designs for my casket.  Now I need to snip them apart and arrange on a sheet of paper.

 I went to a website that will graph out what you type in.  It is called Stitchpoint.com. You can choose between four different fonts.  I put in my poem for my casket and printed it out.  Of course I accidentally left out letters, for got to space correctly.  Actually, I think their keyboard messed me up.

I should get the temari kit today in the mail.  The first lesson has been posted.  It will be fun to try!
