Pictures Galore

I am keeping very busy here. I did two craft fairs in early November, and then I have been sewing my fingers off ever since. I had some Christmas things to do, and then my usual way too many projects. Let's take a look. In no particular order.

 Sue at #mossandlotus has a great bunch of patterns for Tomte, which is the Swedish word for these cute little gnomes. I bought them last December, but didn't have time to make them. So of course, when she announced a sew along at this busy time of year, I jumped right in. I am having sew much fun.

 And Rachel, of Stitched in Color announced a Dear Dottie sew along, I joined that too. Also, having tons of fun with these blocks. This sew along is also sponsored by Fenceline Fabrics and The Makings of Joy.

 I bought this cute stitching pattern from Cozy Blue Handmade. I reminds me so much of my granddaughter, that I couldn't resist. Just need to buy a hoop to frame it.

 These are a bunch of my curved pieces, stitched and ready to be sewn into blocks.

 These are the grand kids' ornaments, made from the free mini tomte that was included in the pattern bundle I bought.

 This is the #ABC Sprinkles Sampler I bought from Dropcloth Samplers on Instagram. I am stitching it in pink ombre. Another fun project.

 This is my Santa ornament from a pattern at Mmm Crafts. It is the first in her new series The Night Before Christmas. Mrs. Claus is now also out, but I haven't bought that pattern yet. I am going to do 4 more of these Santas for the grand kids for next year.

                    Some blocks for Dear Dottie.

 And then, because there's never enough to do, I started making Dear Dottie blocks in Christmas fabrics too.

Another Tomte

 Messed up the bottom left corner on this one a bit, but, no harm done.

And here is the table topper I made from the Christmas Dear Dottie Blocks. I love it. I am also working on several EPP long term projects because one isn't enough. And I am trying to finish crocheting my Dune Blanket from Lucy, at Attic 24. There's a new one coming out in January, so I hope to get this one finished before then. We'll see.

So all this, and some Christmas gift makes, you can see I have been busy and it's hard to sit down and blog with all this going on. Instagram is much easier, but I don't want to give up this little space.
So until next time, Happy Thanksgiving.
