Welcome to Cib's Place
These are my furbabies! This is where I can post finishes and other things going on in my world.
I'm trying to find homes for the boxes of books taking up valuable storage space in my home. Help me out by taking some of them off my hands. Make me an offer; I'll accept almost anything plus actual shipping charges using the cheapest method.
Check out the Miscellaneous sale page for a variety of things to come.

Tudor Rose and needlebox
Sorry the picture is blurred but I dropped my camera a while back and it's never been the same since. I tried french knots, beads and some fillet stitches and nothing looked right. The tiny, tiny gold beads i tried wouldn't stand up so all you saw was gold holes, the small gold and/or red seed beads were too big, the fillet stitching was just a mess, so i ended up using satin stitch for the center after all. As you can see the rose itself is about two inches small and I still have some more outlining to do before it's totally finished. Not perfect but considering how long it's been since I've done any satin stitching at all, it's not bad. I can't tell you how many hours I've got invested in this little rose not to mention the needlebox....lol. All I know for sure is that I would never have finished this without my magnifying lamp....ya know, it's a B*TCH getting old!
