It's Mitten Time and A Thank You....

I've been working on some mitten penny rugs and table runners.

I just love making these....mixing colors and patterns.

With mittens there is snow and snowmen.

I don't always work on penny rugs but penny rug crocks too!

Did you know I paint on crocks?



I keep all my threads and small fabric snippets in here when I sew.

It helps keep my sewing area a little neater.

 

I have been working so hard on keeping up with my craft fairs. 

One more to go! I'll be at the

I Love Fall and.....

Craft Fairs!!!!

 

I'd like to share some pictures of my booth from the Holy Hill craft fair two weeks ago.

It was a beautiful day, the sun was out, no wind and plenty of shoppers.

 

See my handpainted crocks?  I bet you didn't know I painted on crocks.

See my dolls...I love picking out fabrics for their dresses and fixing their hair.



 See my wool applique?  I've been stitching like crazy.

 Grandma's suitcase full of penny rugs.

 When I get tired of stitching, I start painting, when I get tired of that I start sewing on the machine or start cutting out a new project or make a new doll. 

I had just enough time to take these pictures before the fair started.

 

Here's a list on my next fairs. Come say Hi!

Still Stitching, Sewing and Painting....

I've been working hard trying to finish up some projects.

My days are full of sewing.... 

 more sewing....

and painting (along with laundry and cleaning).

I'm working hard to fill these shelves for my craft fairs.



Only 184 days until my first craft fair...

it sounds like a lot of time but I usually don't get much done in summer.

I'm off to get something done...

Enjoy your day,

Leanne
