A little wool work

Wow a whole week has flown by since I posted , I have been busy for sure . Today I am going to share some wool work I have been doing , nothing much just little projects that are wonderful to pick up in the evenings .
First off is this OOM (ornament of the month) from a FB wool applique group , these are so fun and quick to make .  Also on the same FB group there is offered a mystery BOM by Buttermilk Basin or you can also obtain it on her blog , another fun and quick project , you have to love those . This is wool appliqued on cotton .
Also on the wool front I have been plugging away on my socks until that fateful moment when I was to start turning the heel . I might have gotten through it ok except I needed full concentration and the phone rang and after chatting for over an hour  I forgot where I was when I tried picking it up again so will need a very fresh brain to tackle this again and see if I can figure out just where I am  :-(
 On other news I have made great progress on my guild quilt , have just the borders to attach now but I want to wait until that is complete before I share again . I am much happier with it now than  I was last week , amazing how sashings can pull things together .
  Here in Nova Scotia we are digging out from a weather bomb , lots of snow , freezing rain , rain , flash freeze then more snow and lots of high winds to blow everything around . It was quite the event and I am so glad it is behind us . We were very fortunate to not loose power in all this mess but other parts of the province are still without power, it is very hard for the crews to get to them .  Winter may have been late starting but Mother Nature is sure making up for lost time . More snow to come later this week but not a huge event thankfully .  It does make for great weather to stay inside and stitch .
 Thanks for stopping by today , hope all is well in your world .
 hugs Sheila

  1. You get your storms a couple days after us - it has been horrid. We are running out of places to dump snow. My brother is spending today using the bucket loader to move some of the mounds into one of the back fields so we have room for the next storms dump of snow.

  2. You certainly have the perfect weather for wool work. I love that little mitten ornament. We haven't had much snow here, but it's been incredibly cold. Our BIG snow last night amounted to about 3 inches of very light powder. GLad to see you're feeding the birdies!

  3. Love your mitten ornament; it's so charming. We're in the same weather boat as you are; as of yesterday we had 50 inches of snow. It's snowing again today, but it's supposed to amount to only an inch or three. We must be a hardy bunch to keep up with this. Take care.

  8. Wow - your snow picture is lovely, but I can't begin to imagine how cold it must be! That's a cute little ornament. I hope you get your knitting sorted, you were doing so well.

  9. So nice to have some little stitching projects to work on when the weather is keeping you indoors. We are finished our cold snap up here in the north, the temperature is hovering around zero and the snow is melting...

  15. Keep warm and dry Sheila, we're just starting to feel a little like autumn with cooler nights happening. Love your little mitten and the buttermilk basin block - I'm saving that one but maybe I should just bite the bullet and start it! Good luck with the fresh look at your sock :-)

  18. Your wool work always makes me wish I did it, too! Mother Nature is certainly showing her rage this year, isn't she? She's disgusted with all the thoughtlessness of developers and environmental rapists. (Sorry about climbing up on that soapbox).
