Hello my crafty friends!  Thank you for visiting my blog.  If you're here for the first time, welcome!  If you've been here before, welcome back!

Another four Christmas balls are ready to stuff.  Another eight to go.  

A fake flange was added to this little pillow.  This one will be ready for fall next year.

Any scraps that are big enough to sew, but too small for a hexagon are being added to crumb fabric.  The fabric will be the center of economy blocks, with black as the background, to make the centers pop..  

Let It Snow by Prairie Schooler was made into a pillow, as I didn't check my measurements before cutting and one side was too short to fit in the frame.

This is another design from Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments Collection 1997 - 2013.  

A bit of mooching on Abe Books led to this CD finding a new home.  Samplers have always been one of my favorite things to stitch, whether modern or antique.  They're also a gold mine for alphabets, motifs and borders.  

This one also found a new home.  It's a great read about the history of Fair Isle Knitting as well as a collection of motifs.  As an added bonus, colorwork patterns read the same way as cross stitch patterns, which doubles the fun!

I hope you have a lovely day and your stitching be frog free!
