Can you Tell What it Is?



Originally uploaded by amysgreatadventure
I stitched this last night while watching TV. I picked up the new Cross Stitch Magazine and this was one of the free patterns in it. I had the aida from my thrifting with Sue over the Christmas break, tons of miscellaneous threads that I'd picked up at JoAnn Black Friday sale - so I went for it. I like it but do you know what it is?

Over the weekend I did this little piece. It's a part of the Welcome Bow pattern that Karen sent to me. But I did a few alterations to make it more specific to what I want to use it for. I'm pretty happy with the little chicken.




Also, the hubs read my post on the truck quilt. He advised that I need to design the quilt for a specific spot in the guest room. Also, he put in a order for two table runners for the guest room (no he doesn't live in there, but he dresses out of there and keeps his toys in there - bows, arrows, helmets). He suggested using some of his old Carhart jeans. I'll have to marinate on these for a while.

I'm gonna go with "it's a cute little owlie sitting in a tree" It's so cute! I love the heart! So where is the picture of the chicken?

I thinks it's an owlie too!!
As for a manly guest room.....you can get a plain table runner and embroider some flyfishing flies on it., the would embroider beautifully....at least I think so!
Also, cammo trim or debbie mumm has some cute cabinny stuff out right now with lots of fish and bears.
