The Birth-dazz

The first birthday of the year on my list begins in April and it came last week. From The Heart  is my theme this year for Jess W.

Stitched Design : Love Letters
By : With Thy Needle and Thread

Fabric (?)32ct Stitch ville from my stash

Threads All DMCs

The key :  ??? Can't remember

My entire package included a box, purposely left unfinished,  so that its open to ideas for Jess to finish the box to her heart's desire, its also for me not to spoil the box with mine?  Instead I put into the box some smallies of sewing things ..my way of making up for the nakedness. . . .  that box !

Within days after mailing out Jess's gift, I completed stitching this.

Design name : Alphabet Button Heart

By Ewe & Ewe & Friends

Fabric 32ct Spun Silver - Stitch ville

Threads Originally called for -  DMC 3790

I got an awkward feeling sewing the buttons so I resolved to sewing the buttons in no particular order nor in order as the chart not that the chart provides any markings but rather randomly picking up the buttons from the lot and sewing it on.

Finished into a heart

Backing Fabric : As shown Amy Butler

This is for the next birthday that came only days apart from Jess, its  Barbara J, fondly known as  BJ .

The package that I had put together for her. Now, I would loooooved to see how she finish her box ! LOL This is sure fun! I think I am brilliant in making these two girls work out their gift! Or they gonna kill me the next time we meet! Yucks !! n Shivers! Kidding ? In the box for BJ was a glass bottle with a note, BJ did you read the note?

Its my first attempt putting together a Magnetic Vial for needles. As I wrote to BJ, its a lot of gluing and hoped it will hold for a long time to come. . . . . eternity? maybe not. . . .  .never got the chance to tested it out if its good enough either, coz it went straight into BJ's box. Looks like a letter in a bottle doesn't it? I did put in 3 needles so BJ could get an idea of its use.

Well, that's about a bit of crafting news that ends in April and to begin May with. Thanks everyone who had come by and leaving me your comments and to all who had been on my followers list, I on the other hand haven't been visiting much in return as work hadn't slow down and  I am not feeling myself lately. I shall leave you then with some photos of the Bird from Margaret that I got to play a bit while in the process of taking photos. Actually, I wanted to emphasize its tail  which is beaded.  Pardon my bad photography !

The daylight actually made my camera captured a lighter and brighter fabric color from its original, and its looking a bit lost and lonely maybe? No worries, I'll have it join my Robin.

Happy Crafting !
