Snowman, chickens, Halloween and a giveaway!

This is what I've been up to of late.

A challenge with my Mixed Media Studio Group,

Frosty on skis!

Gift of the Week, also with my group!

These chickens can be pin cushions and/or Christmas decorations.

I added miniscule pom poms and felt leaves for holly and ivy.

A reminder this is day 17 of 

Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe Giveaway!

click to see what Santa Nancy has for us today.

Finally. a salute to Halloween (yes I know it's all said and done for 2014) however,

I wanted to share my first, and by no means last, pin keep on a bedspring with you. I had a blast making this from the construction of the top hat to the bat pins. My guys think it's pretty awesome too!

Don't miss out on BLOGATHON CANADA BY SEW SISTERS there are many giveaways!

AND 

THE FINAL DAY OF TWAS THE NIGHT HOP/SWAP

WITH MARLENE AND MADAME SAMM.

HAPPY STITCHING :)

Easy Christmas Gift

or anytime gift. Really!

My friend, Kathie of  Beyond The Storybook has a tutorial up for these 

easy and quick (we like that) coasters. Ideal for a hostess gift.

Perfect for a stocking stuffer tucked in a cup maybe with  some packages of hot chocolate.

An office gift swap or for your child's teacher.

They're definitely worth a peek!

HAPPY STITCHING  :)

100 Day Hustle Results

*

Wow!! It's hard to believe that 100 days are soon to have passed since I signed up to join

the other Hustlers in getting their UFOs completed in 2012!

Time flies for some and stands still for others. 

There's been so much happen in those 100 days, at times, it's been 

incomprehensible.

I found my list changing constantly over the allotted time given but I still did accomplish some of my list, all be it very little.

"Laundry Day" is finished and on our bed,

As you can see, my dent in my list was minimal but I was keeping busy.

I've decided to put my whirlygiggle back in the cupboard, it's one of those quilts that I'm just not feeling "it" !

I tried getting a new bag made but I can't decide on fabrics, sew I'll just bide my time.

I do have another quilt made of Mill House Inn pinned and ready to go under the needle.

Maybe today but we'll see, I've been bitten by a cold bug or something :(

As for Great Granny, she's slated for completion by Valentine's Day!
