Mini finish

Finished my little somebunny to love freebie yesterday. Haven't made it into a card yet. I decided to added beads as the eyes instead of just cross stitching them. The back stitching is in grey so I used grey beads from my stash to match. Also added little pink buttons.
I was informed by my boyfriend last night that on Tuesday it would be the last day before Christmas that he would be seeing a work friend, which I wanted to make a card for. So I picked out a Margaret Sherry penguin design to stitch. Problem I only had half the threads needed. Solution a trip to my local hobby craft this morning. I got my threads and also a heat it up tool for embossing :-) My excuse is it was needed for the card. This is the finished stitch: I already have different basic cards. Just had to measure and cut out a window:
I embossed Happy Christmas on to the front, using my new tool :-) and sliver heat it up powder, which ended up everywhere:
Double sided tape and a backing for inside and finished:
Its simple but I like it. Another Christmas card finished. And you may guess I like taking pictures :-)

The Past 2 Days

Since finishing In Harmony a couple of days ago I decided to do a few simple tiny stitches. I started and finished my first Christmas card of the season. Its an All our yesterdays card kit that came free in the world of cross stitching magazine. Thought I would make it, be nice to send it to someone.
The second start is another free kit from the world of cross stitching. A somebunny to love mini bunny. I thought it was cute. Will have to start slotting in the free kits that you always get with magazine, got a box full of them. Think I might turn this into a birthday card, its a friends little girl's birthday in January think this would be prefect in a pink or purple card for her.
