ragdoll, a gift from my sister and some more snowmen from my collection.

A ragdoll that was in the Christmas package my sister sent me this year.
And I see to her left are more snowmen.

Some of the snowmen from my collection. I put the little guys up after the first snowfall and pack them away around March.

It's a really dreary day here so getting a decent picture was harder than it usually is. I like taking my pictures outside where I can get lots of natural light. I think that there's a setting or something on my camera for inside or night pics. Guess I'll have to go through the owners manual again....sigh.
This is my finished doll quilt for DQS #5. I really like it and would be happy to keep it if it weren't being sent to my swap partner. Hope she likes it.

embroidered felt flower and leaf

I've been working on this off and on for a couple of days now. I like it.

edit: this piece now resides on a hat making it look very stylish.

The back of the heart. Forgot to mention that I was inspired by some of Amiee Ray's embroidered designs.

A project that I've been working on. Think that this will be added into the package that I plan on sending my sister for Christmas. Have to add stuffing and a hanger and then finish the blanket stitching around the edges.

About Me

My photo
