A Productive Weekend...

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings "New Beginning" Pincushion
 
 I've been busy.

I spent most of the weekend stitching. I completed this sweet pincushion from Primitive Gatherings. It's called "New Beginning". I chose a "redder" colored wool because this color is often seen on Wisconsin deer in the spring.

I filled this pincushion with crushed walnut shells. It's my favorite filler for pincushions because it's heavy and keeps the pincushion from scooching around my work table. (Yes "scooching" is a real word. lol)

This is the first block I completed from the Wool Box. The finished project is called "Dragonfly Dreams", but no one knows what it will look like when it's done.

This was the second block I completed. Don't you love the colors? I'm going to stick with the Wool Box subscription just so I can get more of these blocks!

 
On another note, I was contacted by MA yesterday, asking that I draw a new number for the third giveaway gift from the "Be My Valentine" Giveaway. She lives in Canada and asked that I give the gift to a domestic commenter instead. The new winner was chosen via Random.org, and the result is below. (Yes. I screencapped on the correct computer this time!)


Congratulations, Bonnie Biggers!!!

I already have your address, so you won't need to email it to me.
(Thanks again for your generosity, MA.)

Flowers and Fawn...

Brynwood Needleworks - Primitive Gatherings' "Seaside Garden" Mat

This is one of the pieces I worked on yesterday. I received the kit in one of the Wool Boxes last spring. I'll be stitching this so I have it ready for this spring.

I also did the preparation for this little fawn pincushion. Of course, I changed the color of the deer to a more reddish color, reminiscent of the color of our spring fawns in Wisconsin. I'll get this one finished soon, too.
 
I'm visiting and stitching with my girlfriend, Kathy D. today, so these are the two projects I'll be working on. (The pincushion won't take that long for me to flesh out.) 
 
My leg is doing really well. I changed my bandages today so I could clean the wound and make sure I didn't have any infection started. Gratefully, there wasn't so much as a bruise or discoloration. whew! If you're really curious about what happened, you can go to the comment section from yesterday's post, where I give the details to my friend, MA. As I said to her, "I'm such a klutz!". Going forward, I'm definitely going to be more careful with all the sharp objects in my studio.
