Busy Hands

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!!
This morning at 7am I happened to look outside
and it was snowing. That's not uncommon for this time of the year. But I'm not ready for it till
Christmas.


I have been in my sewing studio most of the day.
Preparing gifts for that special someone.
I was in fabricland the other day and saw this
fabric and a light bulb went off.
Perfect for a Christmas Stocking!!
I found it in the reduced upholstery section.

It has been awhile since I sewed a stocking, so I went about and made my template and began cutting.
The stocking looked pretty bare so I added piping and a cuff.
Now there is a STOCKING!!
I filled it with plastic garbage bags, then proceeded to add a few toys.
Don't you  think it turned out GREAT!!
Here it is on my Front Door welcoming all my

friends.

Now that's not all as you can see I'm working on something special. Can you guess?? Also here in the craft room I have displayed a few pieces that I will be adding to it.
until next time,

A Finish and Yummy Apple Crisp

Been busy sewing for my Etsy shop.
 Here is a cute table runner made with 12 days of christmas charm pack.
Whipped together really fast.

Looks great with the pillow cover I made.

Apples, Apple, Apples,  So many picked this year from our Spy Tree.
So lets whip up another Cranberry Apple Crisp.
First peel the apples.  I used 8 apples. Love my new Starfrit apple peeler. Cuts the time in half.
Then I used the cute apple slicer that came with it.
Apples lined up in a row on my new chopping board with srainer.
All the topping in a bowl.
1/4 c of brown sugar
1/4 cup of white sugar
1/3 c of rolled oats
1/4 c of cinnimon (I like lots)
6 tblsp of cold butter
Toss the chopped apples in a bowl with sugar and 1 tsp of lemon juice
Rinse 1 cup of fresh cranberries and add to chopped apples.
Spray your dish with cooking oil
Add the ingredients than top off with your mixed topping.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
Done.
Yummy serve warm with your favourite Ice Cream.
Now off to our Euchre Party.

until next time

Keeping the Peddle to the Metal con't

I'm keeping my little featherweight busy these days.

Here is a pillow I just completed using Kate Spain's 12 days of Christmas charm pack.  It measures 20" x 20".

Another finish to add to my Etsy shop.

As well my hands. I had some felted wool (some) is just a understatement,  I have a shelf  full of felted wool ready to be cut for my rug hooking.

So I took out a few pieces and made this primitive penny rug.
It measures 8" x 15"  Made it festive with some Christmas socks and decorations. Another finish for my Etsy shop.
Now I think I am due a mini holiday.
until next time ,
