Butterfly Cross stitch set

Everyone likes butterflies. I found a cross stitch kit for these three butterflies and stitched them up as a gift for my great-grandmother. Cross stitch pictures make unique gifts and last a lifetime.

Always and Forever photo cross stitch

Here'a a blast from my past. This is some of my early work on cross stitching. When I first started cross stitching, I discovered that I could create my own patterns using my own personal photos. I made this cross stitch of myself and my boyfriend at the time, back when I was in high school.

Desert Beauty Cross Stitch

My mother loves living in Arizona. She loves the southwest and all that it represents. Whether it be the Valley sunsets, the mountainous backdrops, or the Native American inspirations, she's always been in love with the Grand Canyon State. For her birthday, I purchased a prepackaged cross stitch kit and stitched this design for her. I love making stuff for my mom because she knows how much work and love I put into them for her. :)

Lacey Scarf

Although, here in Arizona, it doesn't get as cold as other places, and when it does, it doesn't last for long...gotta love it...that doesn't stop us from partaking in the "warm" fashions. For my sister's birthday in January, I made her this beautiful scarf in her favorite color. She had been dropping hints left and right, lol. Now that it's warming up, she can't wait for a chill to come so she can pull it back out and wear it. :) Scarfs also make great gifts for Christmas. You can order this handmade scarf in the color of your choice for $20 (plus s/h). Please just email your request to pinkdragonflyorders@yahoo.com.

Rainbow Lillies Cross Stitch

My grandmother has always been one to inspire me. She spends most of her time creating beautiful crafts for all of her children and grandchildren for birthdays and Christmas. I wanted to give Grandma something extra special, to return the favor, if you will, so I designed an artful cross-sitch pattern especially for her. Grandma is a very creative person, so the finished product needed to be vibrant - just like her! I love you, Grandma.

Twirly Scarf

My favorite part of fashion is the fact that it allows anybody the opportunity to express their personality...and when that personality is cute, quirky, and fun, this scarf is perfect for YOU! Scarfs aren't just for the time of year when the thermometer reads -40 degrees either, so when you need a little something to set your outfit off, why not throw one of these to make your ensemble complete? The Twirlt scarf can be yours in the color of your choice for only $15. Email pinkdragonflyorders@yahoo.com to place your order.

Texas Coasters

I was born in Houston, Texas. My parents met in Texas. And most of my dad's family is in Texas. We are a country family. Anything that has Texas on it, my dad is drawn to. I whipped up these Texas shaped coasters for him as a Christmas gift. He loved them. I almost wanted to keep them for myself, though. lol.
