I am starting to panic. Time has crept up on me and I'm running out! Can someone add a couple of extra crafty hours to each day?
I have been working on my Mum's card. I'm stuck. Not sure what I'm going to put in the middle. I've made a cake, a teacup and now wondering pot of flowers. I know I want balloons. I'm made those already. I've got the pictures ready to go. Still thinking of words. It will be finished. Soon. Well, probably next Thursday - day before I fly out!
Cake in progress - is finished now. I had to play around with the dimensions. Grrrr....
Balloons in progress - these are finished and put 'together'
This is my desk - a mess of papers, test cakes and, well, a mess.
I have, however, finished my cross stitch. I have to mount it and decide if I want to frame before leaving (it will be 11" x 14") or get a frame when I arrive.
Thank you so much for all the encouragement as I worked on this. I really appreciated it!
Hi Sharon, love the cross stitch. Beautiful. I can imagine your frustration with trying to get all the card elements to play together nicely! Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #6 xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely cross stitch. I used to cross stitch so know how much work that took doing that, will done,
ReplyDeleteHope you get all the card sorted real soon.

The cross stitch is super and if it were me and I had room I would frame it before I went. You might be too busy when you get there having hugs and kisses.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the card, cannot imagine how you are doing it so am looking forward to seeing it in all its glory.
Hugs, Neet 10 xx

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Cross Stitch Sharon, you must have so much patience. I cannot promise that the new stash will not end up on the floor for a while as I really need to find a better way of organising my stamps. Have a lovely woyww and happy crafting, Angela x 23
ReplyDeleteSharon, if you find those extra hours, could you share and send some my way!? LOLOL I love that sweet little cross stitch! Precious! Happy Wednesday to you! :) Blessings, Felicia #41
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the card will come together perfectly - you seem to have a lot of the elements already - just leave it until the very last minute and then it will happen miraculously - well that's what I do and it usually works for me - I'm better working under pressure!
ReplyDeleteI love the embroidery - it's really beautiful - I bet it will look stunning framed. Thanks for stopping by my desk earlier, I hope you have a great week,

Hope you get sorted soon! Thanks for visiting me and my sunflower BJ #39
ReplyDeleteGosh you have a lot going on on your workdesk right now! I am sure that everything you make will be beautiful, because your stitching certainly is!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely stitched item! and I cannot WAIT to see a photo of that finished card you are creating for your Mum... next week? Scrapbooking Artist Lynne Mizera WOYWW #42
ReplyDeleteThat's a very cute cross stitch - it's come out really well and deserves to be framed, I think. Isn't it frustrating when you know what you want to achieve with your card but it just doesn't happen? I usually walk away from it when that happens to me, it always seems to fall into place on my return. Bet you can't wait to see you Mum :-)

Just LOVE that cross-stitch! I should share a couple of mine from my cross-stitching days!
ReplyDeleteHello Sharon. Oh my I love the cross stitch and wow you get those done so fast. I am sure the card will come together just like that, I know it always take me longer when I make anything for family as I just want it so perfect. Good luck with the card and thanks for visiting me earlier. Have a super fantastic week Hugs ~Anne L#1
ReplyDeletelove the cross stitch! All the comforts of home…love bunny to snuggle, tea, and a comfortable chair. The desk looks very busy and I have the same problem from time to time…I let it sit a bit and it eventually works itself out! Thanks for stopping by my desk and leaving a comment. Vickie #46
ReplyDeletesometimes Sharon getting the idea in your head into real life can be such struggle...
ReplyDelete.... and in the middle of it sometimes we wonder why we bother till it all comes together and we love it all over again..
I do hope this is one for you as it is for your darling mum.
Blessings dear friend on it all for you...
Thanks so much for the inspiration.

PS meant to say I LOVE that crosstitch, wow! brilliant #24
ReplyDeleteI know about that panicky feeling - that's why I seldom do anything for "special occasions" - that feeling of obligation often kills my creativity. Sad, but true. Some people are the opposite and they thrive on the last minute pressure. Sounds like you're well on the way to finishing soon! Great work on the cross stitch! It looks wonderful! Thanks for popping in earlier! zsuzsa #30
ReplyDeletebe sure to share the finished card - the parts look like it make a fun card..donna #16
ReplyDeleteI hope your card is finished by now and to your satisfaction. Don't forget to share it, I'd love to see it! Thanks for your visit last week, I'm still catching up on my back-visits... so happy Sunday to you! Love from holland, Marit #26
ReplyDeleteHI SharonK... I loved reading your post.. the anxiousness and flurry of activity radiated from your words. Entertaining and fun to read. Cross stitch turned out lovely (though there's never any doubt with your work - insert smile) Look forward to seeing the end product for Mom's card. Creative Blessings! Kelly #33
ReplyDeleteHopelessly late at desk hopping this week - it will be Wednesday again if I don't get a move on!! Lovely cross stitch pic - well worth framing I think.x Jo
ReplyDeleteYour in progress looks great. I'm sure the finished result will be fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
