My Christmas Mouse/Candle

This Christmas Candle and mouse peeping around the corner is a plastic canvas decoration that I display on my refrigerator.
It is about 14" x 14" if you measure the tallest and widest points.
It is probably my favorite Christmas decoration that I have made in plastic canvas.

No job too small.

Yesterday morning my boss ask if I could sew a patch on his daughters lab coat.
So Last night I spend an hour of my time sewing by hand. (I thought sewing it on by hand would turn out much nicer then if I tried sewing it on the sewing machine.

So I say - no job is too small. This was actully much easier to do then hemming of the jeans that I did a couple of weeks ago.

Bride to be with her gift.

Alycia George with the two doilies I gave her at her bridal shower.
Sept. 18, 2010, now I have to get busy. These were the last two in my stash.

Two more aprons.

The above apron was made out of a piece of material that I found in my fabric box from making a diaper bag a number of years ago...I thought it looked like Easter So I made a apron out of it.

The apron below.....Well it has black stings and it is for Halloween but, I am debating about cross stitching a witch on the pocket. Have not decided yet if it will get something on the pockets yet or not.

Golf pictures

Recently I have been reminded of the cross stitch pictures that I made when we were still located in the old shop on Railroad Ave.

Both these pictures were made for Ron- Who recently had a total lung transplant last week.
When we moved to Franklin Street, Ron gave the 1st one to Larry which he has displayed in his office

On the bottom of this picture there are phone #'s of the local golf courses so that they could just glance at it when they want to call for Tee time.

This one is still here, but is not being displayed at this date. But since I don't think I have a photo of my work that I did, I dug it out of his closet and took this photo.

Michelle's picture.

A number of years ago I made this cross stitch picture for my friend Michelle.
Sunday I was reminded of it since she has it hanging on her wall.
I actually had forgotten that I had done it.

Cheaper by the dozen?

Wait---there weren't a dozen of them, just 10.
This morning at breakfast I was told that they wanted 10 aprons...4 right away.
So my yard became my sewing room today.

I set up my tables after I had spent some time computing how much material I would need to make them. I had measured one of the girls apron while there in the restaurant while she was wearing it. And since I had made the one she was wearing....back in Oct. I had a rough idea what lay in store for me.

SIX HOURS LATER---- I was just finishing up....and Man---that sewing room was hot today.

Guess next time I should move the mess inside where there is cooling. :)

All 10 of them ready to go to the restaurant to be used.

All black, but only two pockets instead of 3 (Thank you girls) Making those pockets are not easy.

Not exactly what I had planned on doing today. But, another job completed.

Granddaughter Kenley modeling her Mother's sweater set

Oct- 2008 I blogged about the sweater set that I made for Kimberly before she was born .
But there is nothing cutier then her daughter modeling that set for me.

Kenley, you are so stinkin cute in the set that I made for your mother. You model it well.
But, when your mother put them on line she called you her little head of lettuce.
Should we tell her she was the first head of lettuce in the family?

Boppy pillow cover

Last time we were in Normal to see Kenley, Kim & Clay we brought the material home that Kim had purchased for her second boppy pillow cover.

This is the first cover like this I have made.

When she gets it next week end I am sure she will look it over good and tell me where I should have done it differently. :) (But then when momma does something for you free, perhaps she will just use it and enjoy it).
