For Cindy, the Bees Knees

As requested by Cynthia in a comment on my last post, here are some of the cross-stitches I have done. I have also posted a few bad pictures in the early days of my blogging career HERE.


I am reposting this one again, because I want to show you the back. Awesome, huh?

I made it for my Mom and she LOVED it. She spent more money than she should have to frame it, and now it's home is right where everyone can see it from her living room. (I'm just a little proud of it, can you tell?)

Both of these were done for my sister in law. Her boy is half black, and I had to kind of guess for the skin color on the baby. When he was born, that kid was almost as fair as mine, if you can belive it. Oh well, I tried.

You. are. incredible. seriously.

Remember that one time you cross stitched Noah's name in a cute Noah's ark pattern type newborn thing, you know what I'm talking about. I still haven't even SEEN the finished product, do you happened to know what happened to it? Just curious...

Uh, really? I don't know. I think I gave custody to Mom. Don't worry I'm on the case.

Luckily, I am the proud receipent of several of Leslie's art work. I sure do love them. They are all wonderful. Well the mystery has been solved as to the where abouts of Noah's birth announcement cross-stitch. It is here in Minnesota. I located it the other day after reading the blog. Sooo, Emily, I know I said I would frame it for you. Never did! Your taste in frame selection is better than mine, so I will let you do it how you want. Here's hoping I get it to you soon.

Hey Leslie, what the crap!! I didn't know this was something you did. I'm so impressed.

Emily said...

I had no idea you cross stitched. I have been cross stitching since I was in the 5th grade. I used to think it was an "old lady" thing to do so I never told anyone. I love the united in marriage piece. Did you do that on linen?

Scrappy Girl said...

How beautiful! You are so talented!

Leslie said...

Emily,
yes that is on linen. I've been doing it at least that long too. And I've never met one old lady that cross-stitches;)

Happy New Year
