GINGERBREAD PROGRESS , ET AL

 

My little Gingerbread House

in the snowy woods

is almost done...

[click to enlarge]

I used my own tea dyed fabric for 

the body of the house; a leftover

scrap from the tree fabric; and the

blue/green Jason Yenter fabric

for the ground and the top right

that I've been featuring throughout

this Fabric Journal.

The little lolly-pops are

yo-yos I made and then 

filled with French Knots and

detached French Knots

for the stripes! 

The lacey piece along the eaves

is from an old crocheted piece of

my Grand-mere's...

And

Those four green-striped buttons

are snail shell ones I found on

an Etsy site...

I still have a bit more to add 

here and

there.

I think I need to learn more

embroidery stitches...

more on that later....

************************

Now for the Winter Cabin?????

Here is a picture I found on 

Pinterest

that I may try to use for

my Cabin...

I think that I could use 

this style of cabin...

without losing any sleep over it

 hahaha ;)))

A little background here:

When Tom and I were first married, we 

lived in the Massachusetts Berkshire Hills

in a rented apartment...

My daughter Candice was born 

there, so the 3 of us

hiked Greylock Mountain and 

walked just about everywhere

taking turns pushing our 

English pram that we 

bought 2nd-hand and 

re-furbished..

Such wonderful days....

 We often saw a lot of A-Frame

homes there and thought 

we would

love to live in one.

That never happened for us, 

so this

will be our dream A-Frame 

and lovely reminder of our 

early married years..

Enjoy your Slow Stitching Sunday

and Happy thanksgiving to 

my Canadian friends!
