Cupcake Pinkeep

Well, I tried my hand at a BBD cupcake pinkeep this

week.  I really like how it turned out, but boy was 

this a bugger to make.  I fiddled and fiddled with this

till I got it to look right.  The top is filled with crushed

walnut shells and it was a bit tricky to get it to fit

in the box correctly and not smash the ric rac.

I guess it just takes practice.  I have another one stitched

up in brown, so I guess that will get me some more of

that practice I need : )  BTW...I stitched this with
one of the red hand dyed flosses I got from Nancy
at Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe.  It's really
wonderful thread.  And, I used a tiny paper mache
box bottom for the base.  It's only 2" across at the top.
I had to improvise since the turned wooden bases
that are called for are almost $30 each.

I also wanted to show you this other version

of Stacy Nash's, Remember Me pillow that I 

just finished up. This was stitched for a

wonderful customer and sweet friend, 

so I'm hoping she loves it.  She asked me to 

change the colors a bit and I love the 

different look it gives to it.

Well, time to get some more stitching done

before heading off to work.  Thanks for stopping

by to visit and have a fabulous weekend.
