I decided to do something a little different then stockings on the mantle.... I used 'pillow ticking' fabric and bits of scrap trim. Now to find some goodies to tuck in to them.

Wow, such beautiful work everyone! I have two jackets to sew together for Ric, a sweater to finish for MIL, a crocheted beret for Ric's aunt, baby booties for my friend Jenna...good thing I won't be celebrating with my own clan until closer to New Year's!
And why, WHY did I wake up this morning and want to make Ric a new hat on top of everything else???

Just finished up a pincushion for a friend at work with an odd sense of humor. (I guess that means I also have an odd sense of humor to make this.) It is a little...might we say....voodoo different.

I was having trouble figuring out something more sentimental for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. As I was doing some cleaning up I ran across a bag she gave me a while back of her deceased grandpa's ties. I told her I was interested in doing some upcycle crafting with men's neckties but never got around to it. I have deconstructed the ties and washing them now. I'll cut them into squares and do a patchwork quilted pillow. Hope it turns out well. I wasn't very confident as they were polyester which I'm not fond of, but I think it will work out ok and definitely something she'll appreciate. There was a white tie in the mix so going to do a little white angel ornament for her tree as a remembrance. Will post pics when completed. |

Great idea for a gift Anita. I was making memorial patchwork framed pictures for my granddaughter's friends a couple years ago. They were made from her t~shirts, skirts and hoodies which were all knits. I found it helpful to iron on lightweight heat 'n bond on the backs before cutting out the pieces.

Hi! I'm in the kitchen today after realizing a large sack of potatoes half used may not make it to the new year. Gladly after checking they were still firm and hadn't sprouted yet. So, I baked 14 large potatoes and am waiting for them to cool a bit, so I can turn them into twiced baked potatoes. Wrapping them up for freezer storage and they will all make it into the new year and onto the dinner table. I will serve up some of these as a side at our Christmas Eve meal too. Annie

Now that hubby (Big Buzz) and I are back home. I will be finishing up some necktie angels for my former pastors wife.
My wonderful Pastor Daryl, passed away last April 8th. 2012. He was only 62 years of age. After his passing, I asked his wife, if she might have some neckties that I could have, as I wanted to make something very special for her family. I will present them to the family on Christmas Eve. I am making 20 of them. Please keep this family in your prayers. Their faith in God is helping them through the holiday season.
