I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

EARLY DECEMBER PROMPT, et al

 
"Snow Globe"
is our first Fabric Journal prompt
for December. 

I think today's gray gray skies 
had a lot to do with my background
choices...

All the basic pieces are pinned in
place and ready to be stitched 
down before any embellishing
is begun...

 We are getting both
of December's 
prompts earlier than usual so that
we will be able to assemble our books
before Christmas..

**********************
On my machine sewing front:

Since I have been sorting
 my string scraps  I 
decided to sew them
together...

I saw this on Cathy's 
and
fell in💞
with it:)))
I am naming mine:
"Criss-Cross"

AND...

I am also adding to my  stash
of Ojos blocks using the cut
offs from my Criss-Cross 
project above:

I am calling this one :
"Orange You Glad" 
(a little humor there--
actually, very little--hahaha)
😁😀😂

I am fortunate to have tons of scraps
so these two projects can
move ahead easily...

********************
We are having pretty steady 
25-35 mph winds and
rain this afternoon--
It gets so dark so early now, too.
Tea time for me before
our left over roast beef dinner
from yesterday...
No muss, no fuss...
👫💕

*******************
I plan to write out my 
Christmas cards tomorrow and
take a sewing rest day...

Hugs, Julierose,
