Peek a boo

A sneak peek of a little something I've been working on.

LOLLISHOPS IS COMING VERY SOON!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you all have a wonderful day...full of love and family and laughs and tons of good food!!! Hugs and smooches!

Found this on YouTube and thought I'd share the chuckles....do you think this child will grow up to be a collage artist? He gets such joy out of working with paper! lol

Happy Feet

My feet are so happy--wanna know why??

Back in the olden days, when I was a much younger woman (yes, when dinosaurs roamed the earth), I had a Grandma Ruth who made slippers for everyone for Christmas each year. Lots and lots of the softest, warmest handknit slippers. I got so used to having those slippers, and sadly, used to take them for granted. It's what Grandma Ruth did. Such a labor of love, making all those slippers every year. I miss Grandma Ruth, her passing left a big hole. What I didn't expect was how much I miss those toasty slippers.

My Ornament Show and Tell!

Well....seeing that I was totally SHUNNED, once again, by Etsy not featuring even ONE of my Christmas ornaments in their ornament contest or gift guides...I've decided to show them off here. So take that Etsy, and dang you ...dang you to heck. *LOL!*

*****The preceeding paragraph was said with a big silly grin on my face! I'm not really that surprised or mad, just having a little fun, folks!*************

The Blessings of Christmas. I just love this image from a vintage postcard...a lovely creche scene in lovely soft colors. I've printed the image to fabric and then stitched it to a lovely natural linen and frayed out the edges.--all stitched to a lovely deep sage wool. Added a few vintage shell buttons and finished off with some vintage lace for a hanger.

Blue birds with Snowflakes and Sparkly Rhinestones...I just finished these today and don't have them listed yet. If you feel like you need to have them, just let me know and I'll be happy to accommodate you!

A cutey St. Nick...all handstitched with love!

A vintage image of St. Nick printed onto fabric and then handstitched to some felt hearts, with a little beading around the edges for good measure!

There, that's just a sampling of some of my Christmas ornaments so far....there are more in my Etsy shop--you can find them HERE.

Thanks for looking!

Lazy T Crochet

Thought I'd try something a little different ( for me) today--and show off one of my OWS team-mates! Her name is Tricia from Lazy T Crochet. She has a nice BLOG and a lovely ETSY Shop--and is a talented needleworker and a lovely gal!


Wrapped in Roses Handspun Capelet


I admire those who crochet and knit well. I have a brief working knowledge of both crochet and knitting and often joke that I can crochet in a circle and knit in a semi-straight line! LOL It's funny AND true :o)

Mint Mobius Scarf or Cowl

Tricia can crochet both in a circle and a straight line and many other directions too! lol She has a good eye for color and design and the quality of her work is apparent in the broad range of crochet items she offers in her shop.

Soft Cream Button Scarflette Cowl

Her items would make very wonderful and appreciated gifts-- (I personally would love to have any of these items shown here today, so if you were trying to figure out what to get me for Christmas...here you go! *wink, wink* ) head on over and enjoy perusing her lovely items! Click the pics and it will take you there.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
