Payday, yay, it's payday! I love it when payday falls on Friday, there's just something about starting the weekend with a pocketful of money! Although with one son in college and another starting his senior year of high school, I never really have a pocketful of money, more like a bottle cap full :)
July was a productive stitching month for me and while it isn't quite over yet, I wanted to get my post in for Heather's monthly SAL Challenge. As always, thanks for hosting this Heather; it's great fun to check in with everyone and see what they have been stitching.
Where to start...
Lots of Christmas stitching, most of which will be turned into cards. Patterns from a variety of places.
Anniversary card for my husband. Pattern from Cross Stitch Crazy Oct. 2014
Wedding card for a friend's daughter. Pattern from Happinest
Some card orders through my Etsy shop
A special request birthday card for friend's granddaughter. Pattern by Artecy
This three just because I wanted to make them. Patterns from Bewitching Cross Stitch, Cyberstitcher's and I'm not sure where I got the balloons from.
Birthday card for my husband ( he does most of the cooking). Pattern from Cross Stitch Crazy April 2016
Wedding card for a cousin's daughter. Pattern from Daily Cross Stitch
And finally a small handmade notebook/ journal for a co-worker's birthday. Pattern from Cross Stitch Crazy Aug. 2014.
I'm hoping August is as productive because I've got a lot of stitching planned. However, high school starts mid-month and since my youngest plays both soccer and football, I will have considerably less free time.
Stay cool!
Michele
