More Stitching...

I just love to stitch!The colder the weather the more I like to stitch!
I just had to share this table runner with you.
I didn't like putting this piece down...I just couldn't wait to finish it.
This runner is so long I couldn't get it all in one picture.
I have a few finishing touches but I couldn't wait to show you.
I want to offer this runner to you before I list it on ebay.

This "We Can Build" table runner is all hand stitched by me.
The size is about 32 inches long by 11 inches wide and
is made of solid navy blue wool.
The writing and snowflakes are hand stitched.
The snowman and his scarf are wool and blanket stitched on.
I added button eyes, stitched eyebrows and mouth with buttons down his front.
I blanket stitched all around the runner in black.
The back of the runner is grey plaid wool.

The cost is $29 plus priority shipping of $5

If you are interested in this "We Can Built" table runner please contact me.
You can pay thru paypal or personal check.
If paying with paypal I will send you an invoice.


When I'm not stitching I've been ripping the wallpaper down from our dining room.
Why did I start this project in the middle of craft season?
I don't know! Maybe because I'm a little crazy!
You wouldn't believe the color it is now...it's primer that I put on before the wallpaper.
I'm not going to tell you because I will take pictures and show you in another post.
Until then.....
Have a Happy Day,
Leanne

Warm Woolen Mittens

It's dark, it's raining, the wind is blowing, the leaves are falling off the trees and the temperature is dropping....yes, I think winter will soon be here!

What comes with winter?

Snow!

What do you wear in the snow?

Mittens!

I made these penny rugs on the way home from our long weekend trip up north.

It's a 6 1/2 hour drive so I had LOTS of time to stitch.

I was stitching a penny rug with circles when I thought I should make something new.

Mittens! I love Mittens! What goes on mittens but stitched snowflakes and of course they need a string to keep the pair together.

Do you remember when our mittens had strings attached?

The string would go up one sleeve of your jacket around the back and down the other sleeve.
We never lost our mittens.

The penny rug looked a little bare so I stitched the words "Warm Woolen Mittens" and sprinkled a few stitched snowflakes around.

I love it!

The penny rug turned out just like I wanted.

Get your warm woolen mittens ready....

Winter is near!

Making Dolls

I just love making dolls!I have 3 boys and this is how I get my girly fix!
Did I tell you I love shopping for fabric?
And I love, love polka dots!
I had so much fun painting the faces of these dolls!
They seem to come alive when you put the sparkle in her eyes.

The above dolls are made from a pattern by Sweet Meadows Farms...I love her patterns!
If you would like to purchase any one of these dolls I have them for sale on ebay.
You will find more pictures and their descriptions.
If you would like to purchase one from my blog just email me at
harvestmoon at wi dot rr dot com.

This is my raggedy witch! I just love her hair and her little trick or treat bag.

Look at all those smiley faces!

Have a great day,
Leanne

A Rainy Day and Stitching Go Together

It's a rainy day so I can't work out in the yard...

and boy does our yard need work...

but with a little care it's starting to look real nice.

I can't wait to plant some flowers but...

they are talking snow tonight...

yes I said SNOW!

Now I know inpatients don't like snow!

I've been planting the same flowers in the same color for about 10 years...

hot pinks and white.

This year I'm changing my color pallet to...

red and purple with yellow and white.

I already bought some flowers...

red geraniums and little purple wave petunias

but I'm keeping them inside until we get some better weather.

Meanwhile...

I just can't stop stitching...I think it's the perfect craft to do when waiting for Jack to finish up baseball practice or lacrosse practice or piano lesson...yes, our spring is full of activities.
I thought I would try something new...
all the stitching is in soft white...
I like it...
it gives the penny rug a fresh more summery look.

I'm always getting ready for fall...I can't believe I just said the "f" word when we haven't even seen summer yet.

But I love sunflowers and fall is my favorite season...

I thought I would make a larger penny rug in my favorite penny rug color...

lime green...

I think it needs something in the middle...

or maybe not when you put something on top it will look perfect.

Enjoy your day,

Leanne

So I'm on this diet...

but I haven't lost any weight. Enjoy the laugh!
