Secondly, my sister-in-law passed away yesterday at 41 after suffering for a year with colon cancer.  It has been a very difficult time as her Mom, my mother in law is also in the hospital suffering from diabetic issues and a ruptured spleen from falling out of her bed at her new senior housing apartment.  I would be grateful for any prayers that you can offer at this time.

You are a bunch of WONDEROUS WOMEN!!!

Just Some Updating

I have been sitting at night and sewing just cuz I need to relax after working all day as a Family Court Paralegal and Divorce Mediator sometimes you just gotta get away and I do it by reading all the wonderful blogs, sewing and watching tv.  No wonder my mind is always racing.  Anyway, wanted to share a few of the items I completed today on my day off.!! 

Aged Traditions - Great Textures with aged homespun.

Full view and close up of extra long Traditions in Black.   A little more economical with the aged and primitive homespun backing.

My goodness I just love this from Cath's Penny Designs.  Thanks so much Awesome

From Penny Lane Primitives called Snow Mittens.  I love others designs as well.

And Penny Sheep from Penny Lane Primitives.

Just a few of the pieces I have been working on.  I had to sew all year for the shows I do in the Summer and Fall.  This year was so busy that I had to give up one of the shops I do to concentrate on designing and getting ready for Fall and Christmas.  Hope you enjoyed them.
