Last night and the night before, I worked on finishing one of the fobs from The Sweetheart Tree. I have had this one in my WTF (Waiting To Finish?) pile for quite a while – August 2009, to be exact.
Here are the photos of it stitched up:

Stay tuned for a giveaway for the remaining supplies…
Also, one other finish, but not in the stitching realm. This is a rubber stamped bookmark to add to the pile of bookmarks that will become Christmas gifts for my father-in-law’s wife:
The details don’t show up very well when scanned, but this bookmark has a sketched daisy embossed in a pale golden pearl against yellow cardstock, which is then mounted over a piece of dark gold vellum onto medium mint green cardstock. There is a small piece of vellum attached at the bottom of the green cardstock with the word “Daisy” handwritten with yellow colored pencil. The pencil gives a frosted look against the vellum.
Please trust me when I say that it looks better in person.
Love the fob!! It turned out really well. Nice job on the bookmark, too (I hear you on the difficulty of properly capturing the details of rubber stamping/embossing/vellum with a photograph).
So pretty! I love the fob!
Sweet little fob!
But my definition of a WTF pile is kind of different…It’s the pile of things that I’ve purchased and I have NO IDEA why it ever appealed to me. As in, WTF was I thinking??
Love your definition of WTF lol. And Lee’s comment made me laugh too. I think I have a few things in my stash that match both definitions haha.
Very cute fob by the way! The little pumpkins are adorable! 🙂
I love that fob! It’s exactly what I’ve been trying to envision for my (no longer so) new black scissors, but I just haven’t found the right chart for them! What’s it called?
I can totally believe you when you say the bookmark is better “in person” – rubber stamping doesn’t show up so well on pics… 🙂
Very cute fob!
