Another WIP finished

When last we chatted I had picked up a project started but put away. I have no idea why I did tuck it away, but in moving things around the craft closet there it was.

Have you done Looker Hooking? It is similar to doing latch hook. I really had only a few more rows to hook...
Now just to make it into a pillow.....
I have enough of the fabric used to make a backing..... just have to decide on which one.

Remember my Secret Santa Tracey? This is the wall hanging that was in my wonderful gift box... well, hanging.
I have it over the door to the craft closet.  The pockets are handy for not only pictures but reminders.....such as the Quiltie Exchange with Sandra Kaye.

Oh and my secret pen pal.... I received a card from Vicky revealing herself and her blog to me. Nice to meet a new friend.  

I am still trying to learn my computer... trying to do a few tasks I was able to do before it moved in with me. Love the new printer.... just have to get the computer to explain programs and how to use them to me......
Glad to chat with you today. I will be off to work but I hope your enjoy yoour day.

Note: guess I missed the spelling error....should be Locker Hooking! Sorry if I confused anyone.

The week that was!

I have been involved all week in this or that and did not post!What I did was make 2 beaded ornamnets. I know Christmas is over, but htese take time so I will be making them during the year so I can give a few away for gifts next year.

This is my first attempt....this was a bit expensive due to the beads chosen.

This is one I made for my mom...tried not to be Christmas in color as she will most likely keep it out all year.
I really enjoyed beading them and will make several!

I never did post what I sent to Tracey...I was her Secret Santa in the exchange.....

an assortment of things


I loved making this pillow. The print fabric above is the backing.

I am sooooooo behind in visiting blogs and commenting... I will get caught up this weekend.
The decorations come down this weekend also....

Mr H bought a few new plants for the garden. One of them is so interesting... I will post about it tomorrow as well as an update on my tomato plant and strawberry saga.
I am off to work today.... I do appreciate the comments and that you take time to visit. Have a wonderful day.

Must share my Secret Santa gift!

It was fun joining the SSCS this year.....My Santa was Tracey and  did she spoil me!
 Tucked inside this lovely bag was the fabric...
Look at this beautiful wasll hanging with pockets. Inside each is a gift card that are all designed/photographed by Tracey.
There was also a small tim holding more of Tracey's cards and a wonderful calender that she made....her photos are lovely and the candy bar Mr H already sampled...
 I love this addres book (needed to keep all my blog friends info in!) and a bag pattern. Can't wit to make it using the fabrics Tracey included
Last but not least is a thimble to add to my collection. I love adding to my colloection and now one from Australia! Thank you...thank you Tracey.
Can you stand another picture? Mr H and I do not exchange but he did get me a bag from my fav place Fossil

Love the print.....when folded it can fit into my larger handbag or can be carried alone.
Well, hope you enjoyed the too many pictures but that is what can happen when you do not post for a day or so. Tomorrow I will show you what else I am working on...until then, have a great day.
Thank you for sharing some time with me today.
