A Peaceful Day

Another perfect piece

from Debbie...

ah, sunshine

this little one loves it

don't mind the dirty floor...

it's the sewing room

(cat yak stain and bits of wool)

~ carpet is coming up

as soon as the

room is painted ~

the carpet has been

loosened at all the walls

just keeping it in place

to protect the floor

while painting

was going to ride my bike

but she looked so comfy

that's my story

I always know where to find

this guy

the sweetest piece ever

another great piece

by goodwool on eBay...

one of my designs

and one of my favorites

Well, it's not on eBay anymore...

I won the auction today!!!

12-26

Wishing you a

Very Merry Christmas

&

the Happiest New Year!

Cats and Gifts

Chester is snug up against

the door to the deck...

it's 13* out there

and he loves to lean

on the window day and night

Olivia would rather

enjoy the sun

protecting the catnip scratcher

Some wonderful gifts from Debbie

(woolensails)

she sent along 2 sets of

Jesus, Mary and Joseph

...

one for mom

these are from Lynn R

we were partners in a

Make-Do Christmas swap...

everything had to be created or gifted from

your stash

the photo is missing a reindeer candle

and a handmade thread catcher

also from Lynn

"Catch a Falling Star"

pattern by

Primitive Pieces by Lynda

from my friend Bren

she got my name in the

AAPG Secret Santa exchange
***

Oh Lucky Me!

a perfect prim treasure from Bren

pattern by Cheri Payne

Hilarious...

I've been listening to the audio book

in the car

for a few days

and am afraid

I might drive off the side

of the road

from laughing so much...

Comedy yes...

but also the story of his alcoholism

and

sobriety

I cannot recommend

this book enough

if you are Craig fan

if you've

Comment Moderation

FYI:

I had to change

to the moderated comment format

since some juvenile type

has been leaving

crude comments

on some posts...

I love comments

and it makes me

sad to click on a link

and see a bunch of

crap!

Christmas Swap Rug

Hooked for Lynn

my

Make-Do Christmas Swap

partner

from our

online

Primitive Folk Art Quilting Group

one of the many rugs

I've hooked in the past

few months...

forgot to take a photo of

the finished rug

but you get the idea...

this was so much fun

because

I challenged myself to only

use wool from the

already cut strips

it was only after hooking it

that the wool

was organized by color

More photos coming soon

of the wonderful items

that have shown up

on my doorstep

in the past few weeks~

~ JOY ~

~ very big smile here~

you know how I love

seeing finished pieces from

my designs...

and this great hooked mat

is available on Ebay

right now...

from GOODWOOL

He is one jolly little snowman!
