Those peapods are AMAZING! So happy you were able to complete your box. It's so satisfying to cross an oldie off the list. It turned out so very lovely. I hope you get the full use of your thumb back soon. 💚
Your stitching is always beautiful but your beading is exquisite. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. I love your embellishing with beads. The floral beaded picks are jaw dropping and is sending down the rabbit hole. Happy stitching, I hope your thumb heals quickly. ❤
Your beadwork is amazing. Thank you for sharing. Hope your thumb is better soon. Take care.
Congratulations on the gloriana Box finish. I was talking to some stitching friends and we were all trying to think of what our oldest WIP was (some could be packed away) and either finish them or send it to its next life. I'm also in awe of the beaded flower bunches, Just Lovely!
Always love seeing what you have been working on. OMG those beaded flowers and pea pods are amazing as always. And the update on your box looks brilliant. I do admit all your other work is beautiful too. My father went into navy under age also, I believe many men did, which to me is admirable to say the least. Thanks for sharing. I sure hope your thumb heals quickly.
I love how you’ve finished your Gloriana piece. It’s just beautiful. I look forward to seeing all your beaded leaves and flowers for your new basket. Watching it come together is such a pleasure. Can’t wait for October 1st. Bring on Thomas!
I am in awe of your accomplishments and talent. Beautiful !
Katie, everything is so beautiful. I love your beading.
The Gloriana Box is so pretty Katie! I could stare at the sparkle on the fairy queen for days! 😊 I remember you sharing your beaded basket a while ago. It is so sparkly and beautiful also. You have made me a sparkle enthusiast…😂😂
Love the "Make Use Of Present Time" finish!!
My father served on an LST in the Navy also in the Pacific theater during WWII also. Perhaps they saw each other there? He said his craft was tied to the boat where they signed the treaty to end the fighting but that he had no clue about what was going on while it was happening. It was sort of odd that he was in the Navy as he never learned how to swim and was afraid of the water! :) He didn't even like being in water ankle deep.
He passed in 2015, and I miss him dearly, but I have so many fond memories of him. I get teary eyed as I write this, but I know I will see him again.
I hope my comment does not make you sad. Thanks for the video! ❤❤❤
Your work is stunning❤❤
Congratulations on your finished box, the details are amazing. Your beading basket project is going to be so lovely and love your set up for it. Can’t wait to see the progress on your yellow casket. Loved the WIP parade. Sorry to hear about your thumb, I cut mine with a serrated knife cutting cardboard for a Pom Pom for a hat, not fun at all. Hope it heals quickly. Yes there is never enough time but your message about Make use of present time is a great reminder. My niece is teaching me how to do beaded bracelets, so much fun and of course she thinks we can do all these other bracelets too, yikes but I watched the videos so learning new techniques and crafts is so fun. Take care
Present Time looks amazing!
I love the pea pods!!!!
I love hockey!! My new jersey has Matthews on it!
Awesome work! Love love love !
