These scenes are on a Christmas tree skirt I've been working on for the past 30yrs. It's a kit my "X" M-I-L gave me. It's a big circular skirt with scenes from "The Night Before Christmas". All that's left is to cut, baste-stitch, press, and blanket stitch the outside of the circle, then cut the center ring. Maybe this year I'll actually get it finished & be able to enjoy it under the tree.
I've learned to knit in the last month. Made 4 different samplers, practicing stitches, two dishcloths, and I'm starting a third dishcloth with the "tribble" pattern mentioned in a recent post. I have a needlepoint to complete, new transfers for kitchen towels, I want to start a scarf my husband asked for and then, socks...just loving this!

Oh my! Everyone of you is so talented! I'm just loving looking at all of the beautiful treasures that you girls are making! I'm a little shy to show my things, but I'll have something done soon to share... What a fun thread!

Ahhhh, Lisa, thank you for saying so!
Kimberly Ann, I looked @ yours and ohhh, love the colors, the embroidery...I felt that inner joy that I remember when I learned to embroider.
I find a sense of joy working a project, but also a deeper sense of finding (?) an inner voice, or the recognition of an inner gift being released, does that make sense? Some fulfillment that only creating with my hands can give.
Annika is soooo right...the farmgirls are so talented.

What wonderful things you are working on. I'm going on a quilting retreat where we just SEW for 4 days! What a great way to get stuff done with no distractions. It starts at 8p.m. Thursday evening and ends on Sunday. Wow, I've taken on too many projects, but Oh well, it's better than being bored.

Wow! Such beautiful work you all are doing!! The Christmas tree skirt is just gorgeous! What time you must be putting into it, Chandra!
The badges are coming out beautifully. I am amazed at such wonderful talents!!
Lisa--whipped raspberry shea butter sounds delicious!! ( of course i wouldnt eat it, but you know what I mean) hehe I bet it smells lovely too. Not like the stinky shea butter that you get in the store--PU!! lol
This is so much fun seeing and hearing what everyone is doing!

Hey Jessie, thanks for the wonderful comments, all the talent among the farmgirls is just so great to see. It's inspiring, reassuring, comforting!
I have put a few hours in on the skirt, every year, then get discouraged because I don't finish it in time, it gets packed up with the Christmas stuff, and I forget it (thankfully) till the next year. Listen, my DH and I are going through his dad's estate and I will have to take pictures and post the secquined, beaded work of art that DH's grandmother made. NOW THIS IS a CHRISTMAS tree skirt...I'll post pic's as soon as possible, but hers is the Cresche..not sure of the spelling...it's the manger and the wise men...it's the MOST awesome tree skirt I've ever seen. I think that's been the reason I just didn't finish the one I've worked on all these years...it's not about the birth of Christ and it just seemed wrong...I love the work I've done on it, but it just never felt right...oh well.
Blessings farmgirls!

i'm working on Christmas presents. I'm making some of my family members Some hand made aprons that i came up with the design myself. I chose Longaberger fabric because most of my family loves that print. I have about 6 to make and have only started on the first one, so i have quite a ways to go yet, but i do have 46 days to do it!

I'm working on cleaning up(and out!) my sewing room so that I can actually get into it to sew. I have made progress this weekend. Also had a quilt group meeting on Saturday so I got to work on a couple of Christmas projects.

I had a VERY productive weekend...I got 4 Christmas stockings made, 3 pillowcases (fun flannel ones), and a pair of leather-bottomed polar fleece socks.

I know the topic is "What are "you" working on, but I mentioned this Christmas tree skirt in a previous post and y'all seemed interested. My husband's grandmother made this, I am in awe! I need to post one really close up pic so y'all can see the detail of the sequins and beads, it's stunning. The tree skirt is wool, beads, sequins, and so-on, @ least 55yrs old, as my S-I-L remembers helping bead one of the lambs.

What are you working on?
Here are few things i have made this week..more can always be found on my blog :)I am trying to keep it more up to date. Since I havent been able to find a job this last month I am staying busy working on projects in between job hunting ...
Carved jade in several colors and then opal ship and moonstone chip. Took forever to get the opal chip from china but was well worth it this fall.
