Some things I have been working on!

I have had a few projects that I have been working on that I needed to finish up. I have attempted to make

my first ever penny rug. I watched a few tutorials on  you tube to learn the blanket stitch. I had bought a

pattern but was afraid it was too difficult. So I just found a coloring book page, I added more grass and

added two stars. I have a new respect for you girls that make penny rugs, they are time comsuming.

But lots of fun.

I have found out that wool is very expensive, even

the wool felt was $10.99 per yard.

I just love this sitchery candly mat, I got the pattern off of etsy, it is a Heartberry Charm pattern. I love how it looks like a penny rug, but is a stitchery.

It actually said Hallows Eve on it and I changed it to Happy Fall, I usually decorate with alot of

fall things, that way I can leave them up until I decorate for Christmas.

Lovely blue fabric I found, wish I would have gotten more.

Lovely cinnamon brown fabric, wish I would have gotten more of this also. It seems like most peoples favorite fabrics for bonnets are the blues and browns.

A collection of the new style of bonnets that I have made up.

A new fall table runner, I made.

Christmas in July!!!
