Day 2 of the Snow...

Day 2 of the snow was better then day 1... on day 2 we got some lovely sunshine.. and everything in our view looks pristene.. I love looking at our neighbor across the field, at his red barn.. then I look at ours... hmm, maybe next year we will finally get to paint ours red.. fingers crossed!

My Holloween Costume

Because of the COVID-19,, we wear safety maskes out in the public, shopping and visits... This will be an interesting year for all the Holidays approaching.. I decided to make the best of it,, and am making Holiday themed face masks for Gary and I (as well as family and friends) Today I made a cute Holloween mask .. I machine embroidered the mask with a pumpkin on one side and "Happy Boo Fest" on the other side. Gary and I both have eye Doctor appointments tomorrow and the next day,, so why not have fun wearing a silly fun mask...

BOOO, now give me some Chocolate... heeheeheee!

OH Joy!!!! Snow!!!

Oh Joy! look what came really early this year... Oct 23rd.... totally not normal for here... Even our kitty, Kiki is having 2nd thoughts about going out side... lol!

Mask, Masks and More Masks...

I have been having fun making all kinds of fun themed masks for myself, family and friends.. We are of the mind set,, it is for our self and our family's safety that we wear maskes,, so why not have fun with them,, making masks to suit my mood, my outfits or for Holiday themes.. I have a pattern down pat for my maks.. and I usually just cut a few out and then when I am in the mood,, I sew them up. Here are some that I have finished up.. I have also been relaxing with crocheting towel tops... And from the "Swap" I received the cute rspider web machine stitched ornament.. and I made the Trick or Treat one...

Autumn is Here....

The weather is changing,, from sunny hot days to brisk winds and rain showers... Yes, Autumn is here. That means more time to spend in my sewing room and less out in my garden. I am playing with making simple machine embroidery ornaments with wool felt backing... I am currently working on Holloween ones, I made 2 of these,, to send to friends. I have some more cute Holloween themed embroidery designs to play with and then I will move on to Thanksgiving and of course lots of Christmas designs..

A day of simple sewing...

Well this weekend was a very relaxing and enjoyable sewing weekend... I made another stash of face masks which have been mailed out to their new homes... I also made some reusable,,, reversable bowl covers. perfect for covering rising bread dough or to keep pesky-nosey pets from trying to help themselves to what ever snack is in the bowl., And last, I redesigned my machine embroidery stitched ornament.. I made the new one by stitching it onto a wool felt backing.. which I like much better. I was thinking, what a cute gift the bowl topper would make for a friend who likes to bake.. Hand made bowl cover, bowl, wooden spoon and a package of bread, scone or cookie mix,,, assemble and attach a cute note or recipe card to the recipient. I still can't figure out the new blogger system,, but for now, I will muddle through so please bare with me... so I wi;; post the pics below.
