Get R Done Friday - Card and Stuff

Participating in Get R Done Friday is still new for me.
I rather like the idea of posting the in-progress things
on Whatcha Working on Wednesday
and the things I finished on Get R Done Friday.
And I do have some finished things to show you today!
~~~~~~~
Wednesday I showed this not yet finished card.

And here it is finished.
The original has it in blues.
Blue vase and shades of blue flowers.
But the co-worker I made this for likes pink,
so I changed it. Also I used seed beads in the flower centers.
Unfortunately she has been out sick,
so she has not received it yet.
Perhaps today.
I finished the NOEL block I was working on.
I have started working on the next one.

And this card went from this---

to this!
It was for the son of another co-worker.
I never finished a gift I had intended to give her at her shower.
And now he is too big for it.
So I made another one in a larger size
and included the card above with it.
And this turned into---
This!
The co-worker was thrilled to get this cute boy outfit
and the birthday card for her son.
She said that it is still big for him.
I am glad, that means he can wear it longer and grow
into it more.
~~~~~~~~~~~
And finally!!
I have finished this apple bowl cross-stitch!!!
Picked it up in January to start working on it from where I left off
and finished it in October.
It is a great feeling to have this one all done.
Except for getting it framed.
Not sure how I am going to do that part yet.

Thank you to ClassyChassy at

It is fun to have a place to post

Have a great weekend!!
