I want your help

I am planning to start a business where subscribers received a mystery cross-stitch kit, for a small project, in the mail monthly or every other month.  I would like to know if there is an interest in such an item to determine how far I should pursue the project. I do not want to give out to many details at this point.

If you would be interested or have, suggestions please comment below.

My Stitching Bag by Shepard's Bush

Sorry about the picture being sideways.

Projects 16, 17, and 18

    Each year the guild I am a member of brings in a teacher during May for the guild's birthday.  This year it was Betsy Morgan of http://willinghandsstitching.blogspot.com/.  The project was the Casket Etui, during the class we completed the thimble bag.  We finished early so she taught us how to make at double barrel button. The last project, a pincushion with an emery (made with the guild logo) which I finished last Friday. I learned a lot during her class.

A Long Overdue update

     I realized I haven't posted for awhile. A part of the problem is my camera, but decide to post a few finishes and post the picture later.
    For Project 14 I made a Lorax hat for a co-worker's child.  I need to get started on one for my husband since he wants one.
    Project 15 is from Jeanette Designs and is called Three Bees.  I am getting back into stitch and am working on a couple of projects and preparing for a class.
  At this point I need to finish 35 projects, I better get busy.

Project 13-Project for Sampler Guild gift exchange

I decided to go ahead and post photos of the ornament for the gift exchange.  The theme this year is Santa Claus. 

The pattern was from Homespun Elegance. I stitched it on perforated paper and used DMC,  Weeks Dye works, and Sampler threads.

Since I didn't have the original kit which had star charms and a strip of leather, I used bells and found the leather at a local Michael's.

This is a closer look at the face.

I back the stitching with Warm n' Natural and attached it with the backstitching, then glued craft paper to the back.

Project 12

Here are photos of the completed small basket.  The larger basket is in the back.

This weekend I hope to visit a shop that had some basket supplies the last time I was there and purchase some kits and materials.

What I have finished at this point

I am currently working on a Santa Cross-stitch, but won't post any photos as it is a Christmas Gift.   I hope to get one side done depending on if the power stays on since are heading into the worst of hurricane Sandy. The only excitement was when my one cat brought in a little playmate, a rat.  I was able to catch it and now feel the need to get new tongs (I caught it with the tongs).

Project 9

This and the last project were both started last year.

This is a Martha Stewart Kit.  First I bundled the leaves in Three then attached them to the circle made of heavy cardboard. I didn't take long once I got started.  

Project 10

This is a quadrielle from the Sweetheart Tree. Each side consists of a square with a triangle above and below, Here is the link to their side http://thesweethearttree.com/cgi-bin/general.pl?Quadrielle. I also purchased this last year and this did take a while to stitch, but the finishing when quick. I do have more ribbon to add if I feel like it in the future.

Project 11

On Saturday I took a basket weaving class and this is the project that I made.  Everyone finished their baskets.  The class was offered through the Tidewater Basketry Guild.  Now I have a new basket to take to my next Tidewater Sampler Guild Meeting.
