Well, I tried to post this on the Haven Hands of Love topic, but it wouldn't let me post -- yet. So, here are the pictures I've waited and waited ... and WAITED to post:



The first one is of two hand towels I made for two different vet wives. If you remember back before Christmas, Mizlilly inspired me to finish up some UFO's. These towels used some of Marie's Pineapple Lace I had finished but never used. I added the FSL Shepherd's Angel from Sonia Showalter. I suppose I really didn't need to use FSL, but they seemed to work so well. They were very well received!



Next are some more of the cell phone cases I made for my Navy wives -- most of whom have deployed husbands. One went to a vet widow who decided to use it to hold a hand warmer, which sounds like a good idea to me.



This is a basket of crayon roll-ups for my MOPS ladies, most of whom are Navy wives as well. Have I mentioned that I live in a Navy town? I started out making cell phone cases for these ladies, but one mentioned how useful these crayon roll-ups were, so I decided to make these for them instead. They love having something in their purse to keep their kids occupied that doesn't leave broken crayons all over.



I was on a roll finishing UFO's so I made this hand towel using some more of Marie's Pineapple lace. Like Mizlilly, I also used the Baby's Breath 4" heirlom alphabet for the monogram. I was so excited at how nicely it came out that I forgot the last color change for the centers of the f lowers No problem -- I finished them by sew ing pearls in the centers, which I think was a great addition.



Next, I wanted to attach FSL to a candle but was never satisfied with the results. I took some more UFO's and created a sleeve for it instead. It's still not finished -- I want to add a candle wreath around the bottom, but couldn't find what I had in mind at the end of the season. So it will go back into the UFO box -- but just about done. Sorry, I don't remember where these motifs came from. (edit from JenniferB: the design is from Marie http://myembroideryhaven.com/lacemaking10.html)



Finally I had this ornament cover all finished except it together and putting it on an ornament. Why do I get almost to the end and never finish the project? (See last project!) This design, "Peace Love Joy" was from Emblibrary a couple of years ago.

I also made a bunch of FSL snowflakes from Ace Points and Stitched Delight, but they left before I took their picture.

I had to reduce the size of these pictures so they wouldn't take up so much space here, but if you click on the picture and look in my Photobucket album, you will find the larger size -- if you want a closer look.
