December 2014

Think it was a busy month--

Got this new wall hanging all stitched, hand quilted and hung--

Mailed out lots of packages to friends and blog friends--
and did this early like Dec2--

another wall hanging being quilted--

knitted lots of these little stockings for gifts--
though only 3 were with designs--that I have kept for now!!!

bought myself a new truck!!!!

and finished and hung--

new felt pillow --

Now I have a cute display of my trucks--

and once again--changed this scene--
it it now wrapped around my cake boards--

Made 4 felt tag tree ornaments--
patterns by Shell at Raspberry rabbit--

This years tree--
it has been 3 years since I did a tree--
this is a new one I got at walmart for $20--
it was perfect and miss gracie did not bother it!!!

and I decorated 2 small trees that I had--

and these pillows were under the tree for awhile-
til presents started coming in!!!

and I got this panel all hand quilted and hung up--

a new sal that I did not get to do until after chmas--
but the 12 blocks of only 3 1/2 inches are now done--
and note--that starting with block one--the deer--
each block has more and more pieces until the last block of 12!!
been working on counted cross stitching since Chmas--
got this one finished--

And I got 2 wip counted cross stitches finished--

this one had only the second 'zip' stitched on it --
and I was sure that I would never get it done--
but I did--was 11:30pm on Dec 31 when finished!!!!

think there was one row done and maybe another started on this--
but now--we are done--
just need to frame these two--
they where started back in 2010 or so!!!
Happy new year--
