~Word Pillow Tucks, More Fuzzy Snowmen & A Winter Shovel~

Just a couple of more days to work on goodies before my Christmas show season starts…and then 3 shows for 3 weekends in a row. It will be here and done before long for another year…or just done. More about that at another time.

I sure have been putting in some long hours each day just crafting away. It’s a lot of work getting ready for 3 shows that are back-to-back and I find that the older I get…that I just can’t work as fast as I used to…and I certainly can’t pull those all nighter’s anymore. Well, enough about me getting older (LOL)…let me show you what I’ve been creating.

I’ve spent part of today working on a new project that is part machine embroidery and part painted…and I loved how it turned out. I made six of them, but still have the finishing touches to put on a few.

~Gingerbread & Snowman Shovel~

  The gingerbread is painted and the snowman is machine embroidery. It is hard to see in the photo, but the little hang-tag is of a gingerbread inside a stocking holding two tiny snowmen. These were a lot of fun to make…and I might just have to keep one for myself.

 

Also finished working on these…

~Word Pillow Tucks~

I put some in a basket that my MIL made for me years ago…so that you could see them displayed. I have these in our guest room…this is the room that Josie sleeps in when she stays over-night with me. She had ask if I could make this space for her all pretty and girly. Well, this is also the room that family from out-of-state stays in when they come to visit, so I’m going with a more country cottage feel in there. It is still a work in progress as some of my DD things are still in there that she left when she moved out. I did find a quilt for the bed and some fabric to make a dust ruffle and curtains. This will be one of my winter projects and I’ll be sure to share some pictures.

 

I also finished up more of these guys…

~Large Fuzzy Snowmen~

I plan to spend the next couple of days making up some ornaments and some Christmas/Winter pins. They are good sellers for me…as they make great stocking stuffers and are perfect when you just need a small gift. I’ve saved them to the end to work on, because they are quick to make and I can make a bunch of them in a day ot two.

I’m not sure if I will have time to post again before the show on Friday…but I will be back with show photos either Saturday evening or Sunday. Until then…..        prim blessings, Cindy
