100 Items in 100 Days Challenge: The downhill slide!

I bought a ton of these embroidery hoops on Ebay last year. They have been hanging around the studio cluttering it up. It was time to make some cute hoop art with them and move them out of storage into my shop. When I was cleaning I found some beautiful largish vintage linen scraps, non-vintage linen, and some white cotton fabric. So they are:  #51 Snail Mail

They are cute and should do well in the shop. They will be listed in the shop this week, so keep checking back. www.chocolatedogstudio.com They were fun to make and my favorites are the red tulips and the snail mails.

Talk to you later,

#49 and #50!

It has been awhile since I posted in my 100 items in 100 days. I have been working on it nearly every day. I have just not had time to post photos of my work. It will be another couple days until I can sit down and take some great photos. It has also been overcast and cloudy, which makes for drab and dull photos. I will leave you with these quick pictures I took of some embroidery hoops I am working on. I am in the process of using up these embroidery hoops. As you can see there are so very many that need to be used!

So these would numbers 49 and 50, which makes me half way there and on the downhill slope of the Challenge. I never thought I would be able to get this far but this is working out quite well! I have been forced to think outside the box and work on bit and small projects for my shop! It has been exciting to sit down and sew everyday.  I have made about 10 or more items that I need to photograph so I can show you.

Talk to you later,
