Christmas is around the corner... Tryin to get a good chunk of projects done now.
These will be Anthropologie inspired dishcloths... Here is the Anthropologie link
Matrioshka nesting dolls made with special fabric from Aunt Beckie's St. Theresa's Textile Trove They still need faces and some other finishing touches. I am enjoying the machine appliquing. I really like the results. (why did I start doing appliqueing by hand for the baby's quilt? what am I crazy?)
Thinking of listing these on etsy when I'm done... What do you guys think?

Diane's Thank you

This shawl was made in gratitude for a friend.
As a single mother of 5!!!! she completely understands what I have been going through. She has donated massages so I can get some time for myself. This is to show her how grateful and blessed I feel for such heartfelt comeraderie and support.

Honorable Finishing

A friend recently contacted me to finish 3 crocheted baby blankets that her grandmother had started. Ashley's grandmother passed away about a month after she started these afghans. Ashley is now expecting a baby in February. :o)

One down!

Crazy thing that let me know Gram was watching... I used the rest of the skein to make the fringe... I had EXACTLY the right amount!!!!

Here's the second one...


I am honored to finish the work her grandmother started. It makes me happy when other people know how much love goes into hand made gifts!
