Keeping busy but not out of trouble!

 The one thing that is a daily must for me is being at my sewing/craft table. I am very fortunate that I can. Time is mine for the doing.So, let me start with pictures and brief note....

Felt Tea pot with Teddy bear and Mouse

Sam and Sue Frog with their friend dressed in pink

Learning Sashiko stitching

Clamshell applique... no idea what it will be when finished!

Origami Triangle Box

So, that is some of what I am doing....learning.....trying. Dear friend Debbie (in Canada) do not let distance (1315.5 miles) interfere with our needles. We constantly share what we find and want to make. We usually make them at the same time...great moral support. What ? Guess I should explain.

                                                 

I was chopping aunt Aunt Cassy's Date Balls.....YUM... anyway, instead of using the knife that I always use, I decided to use the vegetable cleaver. Did I mention that it is very very sharp? Well all of a sudden there was blood bubbling out of my finger. Rushed to the bathroom to clean and wrap it. Back to the kitchen only to find more blood on my hand. Inspection showed the other cut finger.  Back to the bathroom!Actually I sliced off a piece of skin from each cut. Of course, I had to clean the cutting board and toss out the dates on it.I was prepared for Alan when he arrived home to lecture me. He just informed me that I should not be using that knife. I am almost healed. That is what has been happening here. Happy to visit with you as always. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

Time for adoptions

 Hello my friends. Did you think I would forget the Tiny Dog Adoption? I was just waiting to get it organized. There are only 10 so it will be first come gets first choice.....by email only. In the order of the emails, I will contact you with a link for you to make a choice.  This is free ... no charge or shipping cost.

Sam the frog now has trousers.... it has been chilly here in Arizona. I enjoy making these different creatures. I think he needs a lady friend. I started my Christmas ornaments...I know...what is going on? 

Every year I say start early and of course other projects catch my eye. It is on my New Year Suggestion List! The snowman is for a special girl and the elf boots, just because. Each boot hold a Hershey kiss. Yes, there are 2 different colors but I will make the matching color for them. I am working on another ornament, but it will be not for Christmas. A teacup, a mouse and a teddy bear!

This bird flew in last week. First time making wire legs/feet. He may fly to my tree.....

just like this woodpecker did!  I think a squirrel would be nice. Don't see any here in The Valley area. They are mostly in the high country....north of here. I saw one once while in the Grand Canyon.....

Okay....remember...if you are interested in a Tiny Dog, please email me. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your friendship.
