A Girl As Mad As Birds: Valentine Biscornu and Fob - Free Cross Stitch Chart!

A Finished Biscornu!

This is the front of the first biscornu I have ever made! It turned out perfect and I'm feeling pretty proud of myself. I finished the scissors fob last night and it turned out perfect too! I really enjoyed stitching both. I was going to add beads to the joined edge but decided that I didn't like how it was turning out so took them out. I'm much happier with it finished this way. The design is from Linden Bee Designs and Nic will send it to you free of charge. She has other designs on her blog: http://beebarfsblog.blogspot.com/

I still have to send her pictures of the finished product but I wanted to post here first.

I feel great having finished something and really shouldn't start any more projects but I wonder sometimes if I'm a bit ADD because I don't focus very well on getting things done. Starting is fine, but finishing doesn't happen in a timely manner very often. I'll work on that. ;)

See you next post with hopefully something else finished.

Snow?...No.

I looked out the window last week and saw this scene. It looked like snow was on the ground of our backyard area. Pretty beautiful I think. But it wasn't cold enough to have been snowing and in any case snow doesn't stick to the ground here very often...we are too close to sea level.

Surprise! It was the blooms from the plum tree in the yard! Smelled wonderful and looked beautiful and I hope for lots of delicious plums this summer.

I've finished a biscornu and am working on the matching scissors fob. I am adding beads to the biscornu and it takes quite a bit of time. The beads don't always lay the way I want them to so I'm frustrated. I'll definitely have pictures with my next post. Enjoy life. See you again soon.
