Welcome to all of you who have decided to check out my blog during this wonderful idea called a blog party For those of you who don't know me my name is Shannon and I am 21 years old. I grew up in a small town in Canada where there wasn't much to do so I took up a lot of different hobbies. From sewing and quilting to bead and bead knitting, I have done almost everything in the crafting world. My main focus as of right now though is cross stitching and beading, however that can change at the drop of a needle!
Here are two of my latest projects:
 |
| Bead Embroidery with Lace Agate and Swarovski Crystals |
 |
| Bead Weaving with seed beads and glass pearls |
The bead woven pendant is for a friend who is getting married in March. This is just one prototype for her to pick from, I have to say it is my favorite though!
I had a bunch of things planned for this post for the blog party but due to some unforeseen circumstances, it has been nearly impossible to post even this post. I am so sorry to those who have visited my blog for the party.
Here are two of my free cross stitch patterns I have designed:

Thank you for checking out my blog. I try to create a new post once a week if time allows, and I promise better photos! It has been snowing like crazy here and the sun won't peek out for a bit for nice photos. Make sure to check back later for an all new free cross stitch pattern :)
Your bead work is gorgious! Do those types of things have patterns? I used to cross stitch all the time but then I had children and I swear they are more into destroying cross stitiching than cats LOL.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteStopped on by via the GYBP event. Love your Beaded blue embroidery, so beautiful.
The pattern for the cupcake is simply delicious!
Dropping in from the GYB Party - Bead Embroidery is one of my favorite things to do. Not only can you do that, but you've evidently got good enough eyes to do beautiful, teeny cross stitch, as well...JEALOUS!!! Have a wonderful week - Tanya
ReplyDeleteWow your Bead Embroidery is stunning!!! I live in a small Canadian town!
ReplyDeleteHaaaa, someone else is into beading. And do come to visit my blog, since the party goes on. I have a nice vintage lace book to giveaway. See you there.
ReplyDeletePretty beading. Looking forward to reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bead embroidery, the blue piece is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHello, and Wow! I am super impressed with your stitching and your jewelry beading! Gorgeous! I do not embroider much myself, more cross stitch, but your beautiful art makes me think more about it : )
ReplyDeleteI scrolled through your blog and saw so many beautiful things! I love your dragon fly piece!

OH that is gorgeous! I've never done bead embroidery I've done some bead on my cross-stitch pieces but nothing like that. Your Nora Corbett pieces are beautiful too. I have the magazine that Winter Fairy is from too and I thought of leaving the wings off too. I haven't started her yet I'm working on bookmarks and I have the Letter Fairy for my M that Nora Corbett that I need to find a few more threads and fabric for.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
ReplyDeleteNew follower here!
Congratulations.
Nice to meet you
xoxo
I am making my way through all the blogs from the GYOB party...it's nice to meet another stitcher! And I love your bead work...it is gorgeous! Can't wait to look around some more!
ReplyDeleteDon't be sorry for not showing us your very best - I too had a huge bushfire to contend with the day before posting mine - it took me some days to recover before I could visit anyone. I am so glad to see your very beautiful bead work. It is exquisite - you have such a talent.
ReplyDeleteWishing you lots of success with your blog - you won't be sorry you started one!
Hugs,
Suzy
P.S.I have a little giveaway on my blog of a fabric and lace collage
which you may wish to enter.
I just popped over from Vicki's GYB party and I had to tell you how much I love your work! I too am very eclectic, at the moment I'm working on jewelry and a rekindled love with crochet! LOL! I do cross-stitch, quilting, handmade books, fabric journals, painting, watercolors, handmade cards... well, I think you get the drift, lol! I am your newest follower and am looking forward to coming back over for a proper visit after the party is finished... till then,
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Beth P
