For Lindsly, I'm making this for Mother's day...

Just doing the outlining on the lace now, then I'll do the two final rows of raming stitch and make up a cushion/bag. I've better pics on my phone but I can't get it to load right now. :) I'm also doing a larger project for Dad's 60th this summer.

Hurrah, image transfer service is back up. This was taken yesterday afternoon, I've done the remaining bows and about half of the lace since then. :)

Very pretty bracelet. You have a great talent. Have you ever made copper or jewlery with magnets in it? I wear these occasionally for pain releif. I think they help a little. I love doing crafts and have been teaching my Grandchildren a lot of different crafts. We made clay creatures yesterday and we are now ready to paint them. I had trouble the next morning with my thumb slightly out of joint. But I had a great time and it did help distract my mind from my aches & pains. I enjoy making Quilts but I make sure to take breaks from any continuous thing I'm doing. I've tried meditation but do better at distractions such as crafts and reading. I've been diagnosed since Feb 2010, I'm learning something new every day in what helps and what makes it worse. It sounds strange but you are making something so beautiful from your pain distraction. May we have many "Good Days" ahead. Brennie

They're very nicely done :)

Still haven't baked in my new kitchen - need to work up some energy! I'm sure it won't end up being anywhere near as impressive though...
