Some of my project

I don't know if you are like me or not but I enjoy making some of my Christmas gifts.
I didn't  show pictures earlier because I was afraid the recipients would see them. Since I am working
two jobs, I had to make most of my gifts during the summer, since one of my jobs is a school nurse, and I am off during the summer.I am already thinking ahead of
what I can make this year. Most things I made I gave away. I want to make myself a few things this year. One of my Christmas gifts was a gripper frame to do needle punch. So I am hoping to make myself something. I also have a few new cross stitch patterns and some wool applique kits.
 Just wish I had more time, but if I could work 15 min. each day I know I would be surprised at
what I could get accomplished.
 Now to show you some of my work. Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!
Can't wait to see what projects you will be working on.
 And if you could please say a little prayer for me, I am having such a hard time dealing with
my mothers' passing. I miss her so much.

Oh Sweet Lecia....I have missed so much being away from blogging...and am so very sorry to read of your mother's passing... Of course you will be in my prayers...will be doing them overtime to make up for missed time. :0( Your projects are all awesome...you have such talent in your hands. If I were to post what projects I accomplished this past year, it would be a non-existent post... Sigh. I truly hope to make that a somewhat priority in my life again soon. Smiles & Best Wishes for the New Year ~ Robin

I'm so sorry Lecia to learn of your mother's passing. I will keep you uplifted in prayer for sure. You have done lots of beautiful work! I especially love those pick ups! I bought me a pattern but have not done it of course.
