Christmas Through the Year

I finished a few items for Christmas:

Two crochet Angels

and a cute triangle container
(tutorial from Val)

I did make a few more bookmarks but they've already found homes.  How do you manage to put away these gifts so they'll still be around by December??? 

Two Flower, Two Siggy Wednesday

Two Flowers - I met my goal for the week.....I'll aim for THREE flowers next week! 



 I enjoy sewing hexies and I find it very relaxing, so RELAXING that my daughter has had to take my needle, thread and hexie out of my hands because I have fallen asleep.  Please stop by Karen's One Flower Wednesday and take a look at the beautiful gardens; so many fabulous flowers to view.

Two beautiful siggies this week!  I really enjoy getting these little treasures in the mail.

Thank you Cindy and Mia for the wonderful siggies!

One Flower Wednesday and Siggy Mail

It's Wednesday and another flower has bloomed for my garden.  Next week my goal is two flowers and to collect all the flowers I have around the house.

Stop by One Flower Wednesday - Journey of a Quilter to visit more blooms.  Thank you Karen for hosting!

I've received three beautiful siggies this week.  Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!

Have a GREAT Week !

Late Bloomer

My daughter asked me to go to a book signing last night and I really enjoyed it.  The authors (Young Adult)were really interesting speakers.  We got home late and my hexie was still missing a few petals...She said 'Mom it will just be a late bloomer, you can post it tomorrow. So, here it is.....

Visit Karen at One Flower Wednesday to see how everyone's garden is growing or stop at my daughter's blog  Call Me Crazy and take a look at the header she made yesterday.

Have a great week!

Wool Candle Mats

I joined a wool candle mat of the month (June 2011 - May 2012)and finished June and July's by August

 June









                                
 

                                                      July 




and then I let things slip. 
  

I started working on September's - Acorn candle mat after Christmas and finished that one today. 

The December - Poinsettia candle mat was started in January and finished just one day ago. 






 I still have Aug, Oct and Nov to stitch - I just found August's last week!  I'm really good at starting projects but as you can tell I don't stick with them.  Thanks to Sew It's Finished I'm going to FINISH some of these shelved projects!

Siggy Mail

Two more siggies arrived in the mail, such beautiful stitching!

How does your Garden Grow?

I was asked how my garden was going to be put together and my response was I would post a little piece of my garden on Wednesday.  So I sewed and sewed and...... until the sun was setting today and found a little light on a chair and quickly took a picture:

Please stop by and visit Karen at One Flower Wednesday to see what else is blooming.

Have a GREAT week!

(I also made one pink flower this week but I can't find it - oops!)

Initial Heart Swap

I just received a package in the mail and Oh MY!!!  It's gorgeous, the embroidered heart is beautiful and has a little heart charm. A lovely handmade card/note, cute little pad of paper with my initials and of course chocolate. 

It looks great on my mantle - Thank you Nola!

Siggy Mail

I just went out to the mail box and.......Siggy Mail !  It made my day. Riekie from Tilburg, Nederland sent me the cutest siggy of her cat.

Thank You!



One Flower Wednesday

It's not a good computer day - so much for that.....

Here's my one flower for Wednesday and petals for two more, time seemed to fly by this week. 

  Instead of posting more I'm just going to sit back and enjoy what others have done this week at Karen's One Flower Wednesday

Have a fantastic week!
