Yep a field of white , a skiff of snow covering everything and a winter sky and it is cold .... I guess I better get out there and refill those bird feeders.
I haven't been posting much lately but I have been busy sewing so here is what I have been up to , are you ready , this could get a little picture heavy .
I made four aprons . this pattern was a new one for me to use and is by Mary Mulari , a little strange how it is constructed but I love the style. The color is a bit off here but the best I could do with the light available.
Apron #2 , my go to pattern for aprons , the four corners apron by Vanilla House Designs.
Apron #3 a different color than the above pattern and apron #4 was also similar to this one just a different red for the contrast so I won't bother to show that one .
I made a couple of Christmas stockings using wool as the cuff , this pattern was in a Holiday Crafts magazine by Better Homes and Gardens published in 2010 .
Stocking #2
A couple of mug rugs
#3 & 4
#5 & 6 and incase you are wondering , the angel spells out Hark !
A Raggedy Anne Doll I made who has now found a new temporary home until she is given to a little girl by Karen .
A postcard I made and have since sold .
Another postcard I recently made , I have several others I would show you but they are in the air to their new owners and once they arrive I can share . Which reminds me , those who are participating in my little postcard swap I hope you have your cards either in the mail or very close to being posted , just a reminder our mail out date is November 15 which is fast approaching . I can't believe how fast this month is going by. Thanks to everyone who signed up , it was a tremendous response and I hope you all had fun :-)
So that is it from me today , I hope you day is extra special doing something you love . Thanks for stopping by and be sure to hop on over and visit the Needle and Thread Network to see what others have been up to this week .
hugs Sheila

Didn't make it to the post office today, maybe tomorrow!! I'll let you know. I love all of your pretties. That first apron is quite nice, and those mug rugs are sweet.
