foxy ladies ...

These felt ornaments were fun to make ...

One of the foxes is for me and one isn't. ^^   The tree is an  Attic Heirlooms design and the fox is by Michelle Palmer.

We're having a spell of mild, sunny weather and it's delightful! 

 

we are like snowflakes -

all different in our own way

another card ..

This a card for another neighbour ...

I used pale grey parchment paper for the card and ribbon under the cross stitch piece (an Alita design) - everything is attached with double sided sticky tape - I love that stuff!  ^^  I haven't made the envelope for it yet - I'll likely use some Christmas wrapping paper or brown paper for that.

in a world where you can be anything ...

be kind

reversible ...

In my stash of WIPs I had two cute pieces the right size for candle mats so I put them together to make a reversible one.  The embroidered side reminded me of my friend K so I emailed her with a photo of it and asked if she would like it - she said yes (well, she could hardly say no could she?).  ^^   So once the mail is moving again I'll send it to her. 

This side has been grunged/antiqued and I'm not sure of the origin of the design - it could be a combination of designs.

Sunshine has been conspicuously lacking this autumn so when the weather man promised us 3 days of sunshine for over the weekend I was looking forward to it.  Hmmph, we had 3 days of fog instead - it was mild and the hoar frost was very pretty but really .....

your speed doesn't matter,

forward is forward 

winter ...

This one says winter to me - reminds me of a ski chalet -

 it's a freebie from Maryse ...

 Speaking of winter ... it snowed all day today and there is more in the forecast for the weekend - no worry about whether or not there will be a white Christmas.  In my lifetime I have only experienced one Christmas without snow -  it was a balmy 20C and I enjoyed it. 

 

 it's not what you look at that matters,

it's what you see 

too cute ...

This is just too cute - it's a freebie from Danybrod .....

this one is from Durene Jones (also a freebie) - there is one for each season ...

I forgot to share these poppies ...

 this is a card for a neighbour ...

 and this one is in honour of  Esther the Wonder Pig- I follow her on Facebook - her story is a heartwarming one - she always makes me smile - I love her to bits ^^ ...

only an open heart can catch a dream

finished these ...

I stitched these ages ago - they've been a work in progress (WIP) since I had to decide on the end use.  This is what I came up with - mini quilt or candle mat - I like versatility.  ^^  The top one is a design I found online with no credit to the designer.  The other is a Theodora Cleave design that I stitched in variegated red (DMC) - I really like her designs and have stitched quite a few of them. (The fabric is aged although it looks wrinkled in the photos.)

listen and silent are spelled with the same letters

how you treat people tells all
