SUNDAY'S WOOLIE PROJECT SET UP

               My woolen pieces are all in place and ready for stitching...
            I left out really tiny acorns and a petite corncob...for now anyway

 This is a buttermilk Basin  kit that I've had for a while;
   it will be a change from cross stitching and embroidery
    for me in the evenings.....

  [I may have to cut another moon...this one is from
 the pattern, but I think it looks kinda skimpy ;((((]

OCEAN SNOW et al

                             MY HOMAGE TO OUR FIRST SNOWFALL THIS YEAR

I had begun this little piece last year and then--it got put in my drawer...and
pushed aside for some reason...

            I just really love this little Japanese print of houses in the snowy hills...
we live on a  cul-de-sac hill just above the ocean..a short 5 minute walk away...
so this just seemed to come together....

Again, so like me---;000, I don't know where this is going...but for now, it's
just a little remembrance....
*****************************************************
Here are a few more little squares that morphed into rectangles;)))


And these are ready to sew...↓↓↓






that iris blue print is a 
favorite of mine....





As you can see they are getting wonkier and more wonkified..;)))
BUT
I have, at least,  made a dent here:     

Now it's just bits and bobs left of this and that...so these may become 
                    border strips for some future project....we'll see.
******************************************
AND, here is the start of a new wool project:
I ironed a stabilizer onto the cotton background to help support the coming
woolen fuse-appliqued pieces...

I think I am back in the "sewing mode",,, finally....:))))
