On the Table Now...

These are my newest creations adapted from a 1982 pattern by Barb Graham. I made these two last night and as you can see I have more cut out and ready to stitch!

My New Additions

These are the new additions to my collection...handmade by my friend Sandy Schmidt. They are just adorable! Check out her other creations at "The Olde Country Cupboard."

Brian's Christmas Present

I have been working hard the week before Christmas getting my son's gift ready to place under the tree. He lives in a home across from the river and loves to fish. So, I made him a bulletin board to hang pictures of all his buddies with their catches on. I also made him these fish to hang above it from a pattern by Melanie Hurlston (Melly & Me). When he gets it hung up, I will post a picture. If you are interested in her patterns (she has some really cute ones, you can visit Melanie at her blog  www.mellyandme.typepad.com

Come back soon for my first after Christmas giveaway!
