Do you remember Mel Gibson screaming that in Braveheart? Well...you'll see my Freedom here in a second (wait Mel in his sane days..*sigh*..oh sorry back to reality).....in the meantime here is the Kick-A-Thon from this past Saturday. This is the Demo team going at some boards. See the black belt sitting down, the second from the left? THAT is Mr. Deatrick. One awesome guy and great teacher. And yes, I did 1,000 kicks and am living to talk about it.
Well, yet another finish! This is Bent Creek's Freedom (a.k.a. my Mel Gibson box) finished into a box! I off set the bow this time and I just loved how it turned out!
And yet, one more finish! I finished Freedom this past weekend however when I found myself dragging my body to the computer after 1,000 kicks, I realized that my best place for my buns was in my chair stitching for a while! LOL Anyway....here is my 'secret project' that I gave you a sneak peek on a few posts ago. It IS a panda......a Panda Box (no not a Pandora Box)! This is my first wooden box finish. I had my DH stain it for me in a cherry wood finish so it looks like, well, like a darker Japanese wood. He did a great job, thanks Boo-Boo! (oh sorry...that's his nickname...)
My little Po Panda Box!
I got the pattern off the Internet somewhere...a freebie that someone did. I changed the colors to a white belly instead of a peach one as they had listed. I made the inside so it would hold my scissors...hmmm I see a trip to the bead store to buy some beads for a Panda fob...(Ohhhhhhhh Karennnnnn! lol)
And lastly, I finished my second kit from my Bent Creek series of Tags...this one is the Blue Bird of Happiness. QUICK stitch. I did this one on Sunday. (hanging head...) and yes, that is a Pokemon band aid on my finger from the stupid 3 degree blister I got from making my boxes!!! LOL DUHO!

One more thing: I pulled this out from when I started it LAST year when I first started blogging. It is Just Nan's Ghoulies and Ghosties. This piece makes no SENSE to me BUT it is Halloween AND it was on clearance along with the silks so how could I say no to the nonsense? Anyway, here is my progress as of last night.
That is all for now folks. I have a TKD ref training seminar this weekend that I have to help teach at but this time it is at my Dojang so it makes things easier drive wise. Enjoy the rest of the week, thanks for stopping by, and until we talk again, I leave you hanging by a thread!

All of your finishes and WIP are just beautiful! I really like that tag series ;) Quick and CUTE!
Wow! girl you are on a fabulous roll.
I love the Panda box and the inside is awesome.
Keep up the great stitching and finishing
you've been busy!
They all look so great.
I actually have that Just Nan pattern kitted up but haven't stitched it yet so looking forward to seeing yours done!
Love the FREEDOM finish. It is beautiful!
Congrats on the 1000 kicks. I did 4000 steps on the Precor last night. My thigh muscles are telling me so today ....they are NOT happy!
Oh, fellow panda lover, I just know that you are going to send me that BEAUTIFUL panda box. It would go great in my den, and would be perfect right along side the panda wall!!
It took us forever to use up all the kiddie bandaids after Jess was grown. I've work my fair share of them! Now were into plain clear invisible ones. I kinda miss the Care Bears...
Love your freedom cube, it turned out sweet. The panda box is awesome! You really do need a matching fob now!
I adore the Bent Creek birdie ornament...darling!
Wow, you were doing some great finishes lately.
Nice finishes & WIP. Darling panda box!!! You are so talented with your finish-finishing....I admire you for that!!! Wish I could get the hang of some of that stuff, 'cause you get some cute things out of it!
LOVE the Freedom box finish! Gorgeous job girl! Your Panda box is just too darn adorable!! You and dh did a beautiful job on it! And your BC finish is another adorable finish!!
The ghoulies piece has great colors and is a very cute design:)
All of your finishes look fabulous!
Yup I'm sure 1000 kicks would turn any good martial artist's legs to jello! Congrats for making it through!!!!
Your finishes are fantastic congrats on all of them, and beautifully finished.
As for my Hungry... I bought him at my WW meeting! IT would be fun to earn him wouldn't it?
You would be so proud of me for the last two weeks I've gone to TKD two times a week!!! And enjoyed both classes, I'm so happy to be getting back in the swing of it and enjoying it too! I would love to get my 3rd degree by the end of the year.
Great finishes! I love that little bluebird. Good idea to pick up that Just Nan piece - it's a cute one!
