Here is a small finish I had recently - it is a Primitive Emery by Nicoletta Farruato of Niky's Creations and was featured in the February edition of The Gift of Stitching Magazine. I stitched it on self-dyed 28ct evenweave in the recommended DMC thread. The leaves are made from patchwork fabric and attached with blanket stitch. The blanket stitch is worked 'unevenly' to give a more rustic look. I just love this little piece!
I have been looking for a scissors fob, but there is not much available locally and I couldn't find the colours or combinations of beads that I was looking for online, so what to do? Of course I made some of my own! Here is the first one I made - I love the Jade/Blue tones.
I also made a few other combinations. The round beads on the Rose colour fobs are exquisite hand crafted glass beads with a foil effect and embossed pattern - they are so gorgeous - they each have a unique pattern!
If you are interested in any of these fobs please pop over to my sales blog - there is also a link in the right-hand panel of this blog or send me an email.I also have a new start, actually two :) I will post about them soon - in my defense - the one is a SAL that only comes out every second week. Enjoy the rest of the week and Happy Stitching!

Very pretty fobs, Michelle--looks like you and I are both admirers of blues!
Your finish is so sweet, too--very pretty colors in it, too!
Please send some of your warmth overseas to me--it is slowly warming up, but we still have many inches of snow covering the ground. I have never been so ready for spring!
They look beautiful. Great job.
Michelle, I just love this little strawberry and your finish is wonderful!
And, I love your beaded fobs - I love the color combinations. I have never tried beading but it's on my 'one day' list.
Enjoy your day and stay cool

You fobs are beautiful too!
The summer weather here in New Zealand is definitely turning Autumnal. That's how I like it, hot days and cool nights. I hope you find some respite from the heat soon.
