It's a titillating Tuesday here....OK, well not really, its cold, gray and spitting snow....but I thought I'd be positive about it ;)
First up today is my Creation all framed up:
A little frame detail:
On the wall:
And my Adam and Eve "wall"....
Well....Since I visited with you last....
"He's a Flake" I have had a handful of e-mails asking me how I achieve this "look" for my ornaments finished in this fashion, so rather than e-mailing it over and over, I just finished up a tutorial and it can be found here: Vonna's Wool Felt Flat Ornament Tutorial for those of you that are interested.
What's up next?...
Well I'm totally STINKING, I mean **PU** on my goals for myself this month- stitching wise. Geez...but I have something almost finished on my snaps right now, 'cept it is for an exchange. So no lookie until the recipient has it in her hot little hannies....
Remember....
I mentioned finishing a block a month on the Village of Run Hallow? What about the Prairie Schooler ABC....well...no go for February I'm afraid...maybe two in March? We'll see....
Until next time...
"Hands to work, hearts to God"
Love and hugs,
Vonna

ReplyDeleteHow awesome is that! I love-love-love your frame choice, and I think it's a great "mini-fix" for the A & E wall. I think that's definitely a wildfire sweeping blogland in 2009-2010! Yours is smashing already! Your ornament also looks quite lovely, I'm off now to have a look-see at your tutorial!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects finished lovely! I totally agree with you about glue guns. Nice tutorials.

Love your addition to your Adam and Eve Wall. That frame is gorgeous and just perfect for the piece.
ReplyDeleteLove your finishing on He's a Flake as well. I "discovered" this type of finishing last year and it is so easy. I have to get my Flake together and get to work on it. :)
Hi Vonna, the frame on Creation couldn't have been more perfect! Its a beauty and I love how your wall is looking so far.

ReplyDeleteForget the goals Vonna - just go where your heart takes you!! Okay, easy for me to say. I love your Creation piece and the frame is really perfect for it! And your finishing on He's a flake. And Woo Hoo on the A&E wall. It may not be the wall of your dreams, but you've got a wall started and that's all that matters! Love Margaret Pence too - I just threw that one on scroll rods!!!
