Beaded beauty!

My friend Marie Alton makes exquisite beaded items - jewelry and beautiful pieces to add to your needlework projects.  I just purchased these two pieces to add to my white projects and I'm really thrilled. 



AND,
here is what I have done with her heart...






You can also see to the left of  the heart a seam treatment I've added.
While at Irene's on Wednesday for our meeting
she showed us how to make a pretty
ribbon embellishment from instructions

I, of course, being 'different' had to 
do mine with a twist and now I've
added it to my seam inside out! 
On purpose!

    Hi Mary-Anne
    I love your white cloth - there are no mistakes only more creations to add!
    Thanks for your so lovely comment on my blog!
    Yes life has a habit of getting in the way of all the people we wish to visit.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
