What I am working on today

On this dreary winters day I am working on a couple of jumpers for my granddaughters , two have been cut and one has been partially sewn .
This is the one under the needle at the moment , they are both a fine corduroy that feels like velvet .
And this deep red is cut and ready for stitching . It shouldn't take too long once I get going on these , I am so out of practice in making clothing , the patterns almost feel like greek ;-)


I forgot to share the postcards I sent off in the exchange I had here on the blog , would you care to see ?

I sent this angel to Betsy of Quilting Fiesta  and she arrived safe and sound into her mailbox :-) Sorry I cut off the poor angels legs in this photo.
I sent this Christmas candle to Dawn (no blog) and it also has arrived safely . I want to thank each and everyone who took part in the exchange , I hope that all cards have now arrived , if not could you please email me to let me know . If you are all up to it we may do this again in the new year .
 Well I better get back to the machine , just wanted to pop in and say hello , oh before I go I also want to thank you for the prayers for my Mom , she is still in hospital , a few set backs but she is doing ok and should be home next week if all goes well , keep on saying those prayers she will have some challenges in the next little while .
 Thanks for stopping by and have a great day .
 hugs Sheila
