Dianne,
It will say Harbor Lights and show four different lighthouses with waves (including three charms). It will be a nice cross stitch wall-hanging for my husband.

Finishing a quilt top I found years ago at a yard/estate sale. Its from the 20s or 30s in perfect Dresden plate condition. It deserved to be hand quilted, but my fingers don't work that way anymore so I had it machine quilted. Now I'm finishing the edging and will add some yo~yos to the top to give it my own twist. Will post when its finished.

WOW! Everyone is making such cute items! Having 1 full-time job and 2 part-time jobs, I have just been extremely tired when I get home. I have made ...a pair of pink pillowcases. I am still trying to figure out how to post a picture....ugh!

I love the little hats and the children are adorable!!! They look so happy to be wearing their darling hats. I'll bet they are warm too.
Sharon, can you post a photo of your new/vintage quilt? I would love to see it.
Judith, the black walnut ink is so cool!! I love the earthiness of it. I honestly have not seen a heart-shaped yo-yo yet. Now I know what everyone is talking about on the swaps!!

Katmom...those hats and children are just too too too cute!!!
Sharon...can't wait to see that Quilt when you get it done. Ooooh from the 20's or 30's...now, you got us excited to see that Vintage Beauty.
Judith...the Black Walnut Ink turned out good! Looks nice on those bookmards...and I love the Christmas Yo-Yo!!!
I am working on a lap-robe for hubby. Will post picture when it is done. I am making it in the Basket Weave (knit) pattern. He won't care ... but keeps me from being bored. LOL

I am working on unpacking all my arts and crafts supplies! I'm so excited to see all my "play things" I haven't seen in months! I'll be even more excited when I can get them all organized and ready for action! (sigh) One step at a time! :)

That is a lovely quilt Sharon! My sister had one like that when we were growing up. I don't remember what was on my bed lol. Maybe I didn't have one?
I'm finally getting to do actual "work" on my niece's quilt! I've finished the cutting, today I did the folding & pinning & now (at almost 4 pm) I'm starting the sewing! Hopefully this part doesn't take me too long!

Merry!! Ho!! Ho!! I made this one for ME!!! Found the fabric in Phoenix while shopping with my daughter and decided to make a Christmas apron for me and, yes that is red pom-pom trim on the pockets. I call this my "retro" style and is one style that I make to sell (finishing up one today for a customer). I wore this to the Christmas Bazaar a week ago yesterday where I was selling my aprons (GREAT sales that day!!) and, I could have sold several of these . . the lady in charge of the bazaar kept trying to steal it from me.
Yesterday I wore it to go shopping in town . . and while at Walmart a man in sporting goods asked me where "we kept the big batteries". I had to tell him I didn't work there. He smiled and said "Okay, I like the apron". Then a gal in fabrics, who knows me and has cut miles and miles of fabric for me, asked me if I made it. After I told her I did, she said "that is adorable!". Then there was a lady in mens clothing who asked me where "we had hats and gloves". I had to tell her that I didn't work there. She apologized and said she saw the apron . . . got lots of compliments and had a ton of fun! The "greeter" lady on duty a lot when I go in also knows me and we always chat and she admired it. I'll be wearing it again to town . . . why not?!?! CJ
P.S. The wreath has my Christmas Apron ATCs attached to it with tiny clothespins. They are from a Farmgirl Swap.

Sharon lovely quilt. CeeJay, that's a good one and the apron is great. I ordered some crochet books from Dover press and was amazed at how quickly they got them to me here in Alaska and at Christmas time to boot. I am working on some crochet stuff. Lots of doing and lots of ripping out and redoing.
