what i do on a snow day

Do I shovel snow? no. Do I worry about toilet paper or milk? no. No siree, I get the ol bessie out and make something!


A nice tote bag for a dear lady. With spring fabrics even if it's 19 degrees, and 7" of snow on the ground..

Cath Kidston lining fabric..those roses make me happy..

With a pocket made from an old dresser cloth, and a flower pin that's removable. The recipient is a gardener extraordinaire..

ok, that's what's going on here,

see, no shoveling in sight! just lots of white stuff! Happy Monday!

small stitches

A few smallish items that have been on the table:
These are some handmade cards made from left over scraps I've had in the scrap pile. It was really fun sewing through paper, then a little hand stamping for embellishment..


Once people know you are a sewer, you inherit a lot of stuff, which is very nice. I have a whole lot of lace, seam binding and trims..

Here's a little wool felt pin cushion. What fun this was to make. Except squares are pretty hard to sew..

Happy Friday!

ready

We went from 85 to like 65 today, finally! This is starting a pretty busy time around here, I am in some craft shows, which I enjoy, so I'm taking a small break to post some bad pictures, sorry! Anyway, I always look forward to being at these events, but the prep is tiring. Hope you have a lovely weekend..

Some knitted goodies, scarves and shawls, and a few small quilts waiting to be tagged..
