Snow is just around the corner...

Well the Weather Peeps say that snow could be here as soon as next week.. WHAT??? NO!!!

I am not ready yet.

 

I see a lot of crafting projects and maybe even finish up a few old ones in my future!

 

In the mean time,, I finished up the trailer pillow and repurposed cashmere sweater pillow..

I also stitched up a little table runner for my camp trailer..

 deco pillows, the cashmere one is for the motorhome and the Holiday one is for the living room.

I just need to do some top stitching and then this little table runner will go into the Aristocrat trailer...

I also managed to find a couple of Homeless aprons at the local Thrift,, so they now live happily in my home..

and last but not least,,, my sewing room(and chair hog) buddy...

 Kiki can sleep anywhere... and even the sound of my sewing machine does not disturb her!

 

 Sweet Dreams, Kiki...

 

Rainy Day What to Do'...

Rainy day,, what shall I do???

Shortly after a lovely phone chat with a dear friend over in Pennsylvania,,. it started raining here like a mini monsoon...

 

So now I guess since I can't go outside and putter.. I will have to keep myself busy in my craft room...

I am thinking of re-purposing this 'holy' cashmere sweater into a deco pillow for the motorhome....

The pillow form is 14x14 and the sweater will fit perfect ....

 

I recently finished up  a project with some fabric I had purchased at Walmart...

 and yes,, wine is fine when crafting! lololol!

 a 12x12" Holiday pillow... I was going to embellish it,, but after looking at it, I decided to keep it simple...

 

 Oh and I scored these 2 spools (never been used..) of cotton yarn at the Thrift for just $3 each..

I will be crocheting a Gazillion dish rags this winter!  

Hmmm,,, maybe I will crochet one tonight and work on the pillow tomorrow...

Well that's what I will be doing to stay out of trouble...

 

 

 

Keeping Busy....

Well a few more thing to keep me out of trouble...

 The fun Flamingo apron is now in the trailer...

 So I made another simple Chef apron in a fun print....

and a maple leaf quilt block (still needs to be ironed) as well as a glass trivet done with a remnant piece of flamingo fabric... Also 3 lace tree ornaments and another yoyo flower.

 

Now what shall I do?

HeeHeeHee...

Gardening vs Sewing...

Gardening vs Sewing... hmmm, which shall I do?

 

 can ya guess??? First, I stitched up this cute lil Kitty Love design...

 Then I stitched up this Soccer motif for my friend in Germany...

 A cute lil red tractor and then...

this fun design,,, I stitched on to a T-shirt that I had bought from the Dollar Tree store... for.. a $1

Can't go wrong with that,, and worse case,, I am not pleased with the design or my embroidery machine hiccups.. I am only out a $1....

 

Sewing Daze.....

I was able to slow down and get some sewing time in... Yippee!!!

 I made the smaller of the 2, last week,,, it is 2" sq... and the larger one I made yesterday, and it is approx. 4"sq...

 I made another Jean pocket holder...  perfect for holding dried flowers or even a lavender sachet.

 I made  this apron yesterday and it will be headed to Florida in a few days to a lovely lady.

 I even embroidered her name on the pocket....

 A friend sent me this apron pattern,,, so I dug through my stash of fabric and did a wee bit of modification to the pattern...

 I LUV it! and it fits perfect...

I embellished the pocket with a flamingo.. and though you can't see them,, I stitched on a YoYo at the side by each apron tie..

 

 

I forgot to post a photo of the Dirndle that my childhood  best friend gave me...

It is so sweet... I do need to iron it,,  and most likely I will wear it on Thanksgiving....

Well, I wonder if I will get to play in my sewing room tomorrow... fingers crossed that I will!
