I'm back!

Good morning everyone! I'm back from my spiritual/vocational retreat with the carmalites, it was lovely, but would have been even more lovely if I had discerned what God is calling me to be! Ah well, those are the breaks. Anyway I am very busy with finals lately, I'm just about to start my exam for Math. I have gotten everything else done, Hurrah! Oh wait I've still got Biology! I'm doomed!

Enough about those depressing topics, I have just about started the mad, crazy rush to finish the different christmas gifts for my family and friends. If your like me you have way too many people to get presents for, but too little money to get them anything nice, and too little time to make them really nice things like sweaters. Then I found these lovely felt flower broaches! I have already made about three of them.

I will try to post some pictures of the ones that I have made when I have a little extra time! Til next time!

Embroidered Books

Sorry about not posting for some time, things have been getting weird. Too much to get into right now, another post perhaps. Anyway I found these delightful and colorful classics,





I never thought that it would look nice to embroider book covers, but the end result is quite pretty I think. The only let down is that the cover of the book is only a photo of the embroidery. I thought that I might have a go at trying to make this covers and frame them for over my bed. Of course I shall have to work off the pictures but I think that I can manage, even if the colors won't be exactly the same. I will have to post them after a I finish!
