projects

I finally made a pair of Toasty for me. I ended up fulling them a bit which shortened them up some. (not my intent) Anyway. I was looking at them the other day and thought maybe just a little embroidery would be really cool on them. (Just what I need, another project!)On the news the other night, they said it was a "warm 29 degrees" in our area. I suppose that is warm compared to below zero.... There were many schools closed here yesterday as we had a really bad snowstorm go through. This is the time of year I like to be snuggled in my chair with my knitting.

This is the first of four Christmas Stockings I'm working on. What's your favorite stocking stuffer?

First Snow Storm

We've had some snow flurries already this year, but we have snow on the ground now...and it keeps falling. They say we might get up to 10" today.
I've been working on a little embroidery pattern and some knitting I hope to share this week. This is on it's way to being a little pillow.

Favorite Friday Blog Finds

I wish I was getting more crafting done, but I am getting much more organized around here. I hope to guiltlessly be able to sew and knit to my hearts content this Winter. I found a few goodies this week as I visited all my favorite blogs.

These rubber gloves would make doing the dishes way too much fun!

This nursing cover would make a great gift at a baby shower.

A Great Weekend

The quilt show was wonderful. I took these pictures with my cell phone, so excuse how they look. All kinds of quilts so lovingly made hanging about. I had seen the convergence quilt before, but never dressed up like this one. It's difficult to see the little pebbles at the base of the tall grass, but the details really made this piece.

We live on the shore of Lake Superior, so this was my favorite piece overall. It just spoke to my heart. I was so amazed by the amount of creativity in the room. Besides all the wonderful quilts, it was great fun to bump into so many others who sew and quilt.

Speaking of fun, the "market" is something I always look forward too. I bought the supplies to make this pillow. Isn't it cute? You use crayons and heat on the muslin to get the colors.

I started mine yesterday. I have to get some more colors of DMC today. I'll never look at embroidery quite the same...Judy, from the Portage Quilt House, made this little pillow. She was selling the two coordinating fat quarters with the embroidery pattern.
