Little Yoyo Project

I am working on a quickie YoYo project... 

using recycled linen, and attaching yoyos on them..

 this is 'eyelet lace. not to very old....

 I stitched matching yoyos around the edge.. I was going to add little buttons on the yoyos but it made the Doilie to heavy.

 This was an old stitchery piece,, sweet little blue birdies...

I gently hand tacked/stitched on the yoyos so I could take them off later if I want to .

The Horse next Door...

Ok, so the other morning,,, while out feeding the birds.. this is what we say...

 These crows have been hanging around,, and found that 'Keria' is in need of a good grooming..

 the kept pulling up tufts of shedded hair.. probably to line their nests with.

 and Keria seems to enjoy it...

And this Highland cow is the latest and newest resident at the Beeler Ranch just down the road.

 

Gotta love our 4-legged neighbors...

Lil Felt Ladybugs Awaiting Spring...

I stitched up these wee little Ladybugs..  hoping Spring will be here soon...

We are suppose to have another round of snow this weekend.. so I guess I will be spending more  time in my sewing room, at least until true Spring weather arrives...

 

Keeping Busy...

I have been keeping myself busy as I wait for Summer to shine over us..

I get into crafting and sewing mischief... I bake scones to snack on and I go Junktiquing  when ever I can..

 a little machine embroidery.. and KIKI kitty checking out my work...

stitch up some YOYOs...

notice the cup of tea,, I like to enjoy tea when I am in my crafting room...

 found  some Koolieo magazines (1961  and 1970) and a 1953 SEARS sales catalogue..

 I had no idea back in the day,, you could send your gloves out to be laundered..

 I also joined in some Farm Girl Swaps.. This one is a State Post Card and magnet swap.. I like to include a few goodies too. Notice how the magnet matches the crocheted dish cloth..

 Some goodies I made for a friend..

and this is a Mug Rug swap.. I made using my embroidery machine. I also am including a lavender sachet and some tea (not pictured)

 I scored a box of 'stuff' for $7.00.. which included a stack of pre-stamped 100% linen and cotton stitchables.., like a mixer cover and coffee perculator  cover, also a cigar box full of embroidery floss.. notice the orange tropical fabric??? I can hardly wait to make something with it.. It is only 36" wide,, but I have 4 yards so I am certain I can get into some mischief with it!  

 I have tons of floss,, but finding an old Cigar boxes is a real treat!

 This 45x45" table cover with 2 matching napkins is pre-stamped with a cute Rooster design.

 

but the best find was these 2 package apron kits.. the pink fabric is also a kit but it was not packaged.

 here is what you got for .29cents.. pre-cut fabric, flat bias tape and simplistic instructions.

also in the box of stuff was a tapestry knitting needle case, full of knitting needles, crochet hooks and embroidery hopes..

I love rescuing stuff...  and since I do not knit, I have several gal~pals who do,, so they will get the knitting needles.. as for the hoops I have some avid cross stitching friends that the hoops will go to.

Love to share the wealth..  So, not bad for $7.00  :>)
