Ornaments for my God daughters have begun. This one just needs the ribbon touches and it's complete. It may not be completely clear but all the brads and a few of the flowers' second petal are green. The ribbons are also a matching green. I love the monochromatic look of it. I plan to make a red and blue one also. I'll post again when all three are completely done.

Since Halloween has been over I haven't gotten alot of sewing done. A break was needed. I have been a cross stitching fool though. I have two ornaments down and more coming in the mail. With the costs of books and other bills that popped up hubby and I are going to have to be penny pinchers this X-mas to still save money for Costume Con. I figure ornaments that are hand done come from the heart.... I hope others see it that way and not just as the cheap way to go.... I know my family will see that I am just not sure about his family. I guess that is the whole in-law drama.
I did do a few minor hand sewing activities. I attached a few of the side pieces of the Autumn dress's sleeves together. Avien got me SUPER excited about that project when she sent me a few sample pics of the embroidery she is doing for me. It is sooooooo Yummy looking. I really really want to pet it. Here is the link to it on my webpage. I would put it here but the pictures part is not playing nice nice with me.
