iPod and Cellphone holders


I found the pattern to make these on DMC.com, and they really turned out cute.  I had to adjust some to make them fit properly, plus I figured out how to leave a space at the bottom of the iPod case for the cord to plug into it.  I kinda like having something that no one can just buy in a store - people have asked me where I got them and it is so cool to say, "I made them myself!"

Heart cross-stitch

I made this for my dad and stepmom when they got married, but sadly among those that somehow haven't made it into the frame. The problem is that I discovered from one I had made my mom many years ago that marks from the hoop showed up after awhile. I wanted to figure out how to clean that one and this one before I put this one in a frame. Oxi-clean seems to have worked, but I'm still afraid of putting it in the frame my stepmom got because she has an adhesive backing that if it does show marks down the road I may not be able to fix it.
