I finally started!

How long has this group been around and I am just now getting around to starting my Wool Crazy!? Way too long! I saw the round one Brenda posted on Julie's behalf yesterday so I decided to jump in and give it a go. So not only did I make a 14 inch round one, but I also got to working on the applique on the large Wool Crazy one I had put together a couple of weeks ago but never got the nerve to start working on it. So now I have two Wool Crazies started. Here are a couple of pictures. My decorative stitches suck, of course I didn't read the directions thoroughly, the part that says to mark a line so you get them even....oh well, it just makes it more prim! Here is my 24X24 full sized one. Oh, I also missed the part where it said to work from the middle and work out...LOL I still need to sew down those little yellow flowers on the left and put my decorative stitches on the top part.

Here is my small 14 inch one. I didn't put backing or batting on this one. I wish I hadn't put the batting on the large one, it makes a huge mess when you do your sewing and I really don't see the use for it. I have a ton of Mill Hill crystal embellishments that I never used on a cross stitch project from a long time ago, so I am going to put a few of those here and there on these so I can get some use out of them. You probably can't tell from this picture but there is one on the little flower on the heart.

Well, I am going to see if I can at least finish up this one block that needs to be finished. It's been a very long day, I'm kind of too pooped to be sewing. This weekend sure flew by. But at least I have another week of vacation to look forward to in a couple of weeks.

Tootles.
