I was pretty busy lately… :)
This is my first in making a box using cartonnage techniques. It was so much fun! Even though my box is not perfect I am happy with the final result and I’ll keep working on my skills.
The box is for my stitching pal Lisa

Becky hosted a thread holder exchange and my partner was... Becky! Knowing that she is an excellent finisher I was worried that my thread holder will not raise to her expectations. But she wrote me that she loves it! Happy dance!!!!!

Fabulous job on the box. Looks perfectly square and symmetric!

Oh my. Such gorgeous stitching and even more beautiful finishings. I don't know where to start! I guess I have to say that I just love the box. It is fabulous! I also love your thread holder. It is awesome!
Michelle, I can't find my words. Your works are so wonderful and awesome! What else can I say? :) I adore all pieces!!
Hugs,
Nina xoxoxox
Beautiful and interesting work you have! Good luck!
Gorgeous stitching!
Never seen before this Sweetheart Tree piece, how it's named?
Thank you so much ladies! Your comments make my day!

Michelle! Your blog is absolutely fabulous! Your works are very interesting! I saw your blog today the first time, and now I am in love with it! :)))
I saw your ready Fresh from the Orchard, this is particularly interesting because it is in my plans but I've never seen it in reality.
Thank you!

How gorgeous! I'm in love with your threadholder! And these pretty biscornu...it's like a fairy-tale!
Beautiful stitching and finishes! I love the note box.
Michelle everything is so beautiful. It is like a wonderland. I love the box and I am going to have to try Nina's floss. She has such pretty colors.
I like the Bee Sampler Thread Holder.
Thank you Michelle! Beautiful box! :D
Wow, Michelle I love it all! I particularly love the thread holder, I think I will have a try at making one of those. Nice box too!
You've been very busy with such gorgeous finishes!
I love that box! It's so cute.
That's a pleasure for entry!
Beautiful things created and received. But for me, and in particular the TST biscornu fonaltartó pattern you like, as well as Barbie's model with a notepad. Works perfectly executed! Awesome!
Just beautiful pieces!
WOW!!!! I know that word is so over used but in this case, it's so appropriate. You have stitched and received some very lovely things over the last few months. I am so far behind on reading blogs. Thanks for sharing; it's very inspiring to see what others have stitched; makes me want to go shopping, LOL!!!
Wow Michelle, this post is full of treasures11
Such gorgeous work...all of it!
Michele, nu as vrea sa ma fac de ras cu exprimarea mea in engleza asa ca o sa prefer romana :D
Numai tu poti face astfel de lucrusoare! Si mai maruntele si mai marisoare insa toate sunt la fel de frumos lucrate, nuante frumos combinate si sa nu mai spun de faptul ca le prezinti intr-un mod atat de elegant.
Imi plac fotografiile, imi place cadrul ales, imi place rama (apropo, cu ce program lucrezi) , imi place semnatura. Totul este deosebit pana in cel mai mic detaliu.
Intrebare: vad ca inainte de semnatura ai acel C intr-un cerculet- poti sa-mi detaliezi te rog, am studiat problema dar nu am aprofundat. Este semnul legat de drepturile de autor, nu? e suficient sa-l adaugi tu sau trebuie inregistrat la o institutie legalizata?
Beautiful pieces, how do you make the box?
this blog is very beautiful !

Wow!!! This post is such an eye candy for me. I love love them all, both given and received. Your works are so "romantic" and sweet!
