Candy Dish done!

I finally got another project done that has been waiting for awhile!  I had this candy/coaster dish from Sudberry House I had been meaning to put some crazy quilting in.  Done now!  I love these pieces that are ready to accept needlework.  This one has a mahogany base and a glass dish that fits into it.  The needlework fits into the wooden base and then the clear glass dish fits on top of it.  The dish protects the needlework and is also removeable in case you need to clean it - some of those candies could be sticky!  lol


Here it is seen from the top with the glass in place,

and here is the little dish taken out

to get a good photo of the crazy quilted insert.  Now the reflections of the glass are gone you can see all the pretties clearly in the photo.  I love projects that are finished and I am happy with the way this turned out.  I think it would make a nice little gift - too large for a coaster but nice for a candy dish or somewhere to put your keys when you come in (I need that so I could find them when I go out!)  or to empty your change out of your pockets at night?  Anyway, another UFO bites the dust and off it goes into the Etsy shop!

I had never heard of Sudberry house.... I loved their footstools but very pricy but had lots of great ideas...especially the key rack (speaking of keys) I bet I have frames in the barn that would be perfect for that...

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a...

Giveaway!

I am feeling like celebrating for various reasons! Firstly, this is my 100th post on my blog and that seems worthy of a little celebration. Secondly, I can now count the days on this year's camping season on my fingers! It has been a busy summer out here at the campground and I am anticipating getting home for a rest - I am so looking forward to hot showers, a real bed, good lighting and my comfy stitching chair! So, I have decided to celebrate with a giveaway! I think these are great fun and have put my name down for several and even won once so it feels like time to be on the hosting end for a change. I have decided to give away a squishie of items for stitching, embellishing and inspiration. I can't show you a picture right now because of the twist I have come up with! I'll start out with a squishie containing some fun items like an oya or two, specialty threads and fancy yarns, a silkie and a couple other things. For every person who puts their name in the draw by leavi...

400 Post Giveaway

Well, gotta love those nice round numbers like 400! It is always a good excuse to celebrate by having a little giveaway. Every year I anticipate the publication of Just CrossStitch's Christmas Ornament issue. I start watching the newsstands about September and worry I won't manage to find a copy before they are sold out. This little obsession of mine probably explains how I managed to buy two copies! So, I would like to share one with my readers. If you aren't familiar with this magazine - it really is a "keeper"! Seventy-five designers have each provided a Christmas ornament with instructions. These small designs are often useful for making cross stitch cards or as motifs for cq using waste canvas as well. So, this time the draw will be a little different. Enter by leaving a comment on this post - that gives you one entry. If you follow my blog, leave another comment saying so - that gives you a second entry. If you post about the giveaway on your blog, leave a t...
