Ten Little Snow Angels



No, not ten little indians, but ten little snow angels.  I was remembering a childhood song we use to sing in school.  I think that's one of the ways we learned how to count to ten.  Lol
I just finished these little angels today.  This is a sweet pattern by Country Whims
The card in the pocket with a picture of an angel says:
Times may be tough
but you will see...
Things will get better
if you "Believe." 

With a string attached in the back it can used as an ornament or hang it just about anywhere.  Love it.

One of my favorite things to do is wool wall hangings or table tops.  This pattern is by Wooden Spool Designs.  The pattern is suppose to be oval and with the penny tongues, but because I wanted it for either hanging or on a table I adjusted the pattern a little.




I love the fabric on the back.   I've had it for a years and thought this made a pretty backing for it.

Trying to adjust to the life of retirement.  I have to admit I'm not as organized like when I worked full time and did my crafting whenever there was a moment.  My retired friends all have told me it takes a little time to get in a rhythm.  Of course, I'm not complaining - it is a very nice change!

Take care, until next time!

Seeing Angels All Around

Busy week - busy weekend.  Took two days off from work on Thursday and Friday to drive down to Houston TX for the International Quilt show.  I've been going to this show for several years, but this is the third year I travel with my two sisters and sister-in-law for the two day get away.  It's always fun and an adventure when the four of us get together.  Wish my other sister-in-law from California could make it too.  Below are a few of the things I bought.  Some new patterns and always some wool.  There are so many vendors and so many new things out there.  I always look forward to this show.   


 Speaking of shows - mine is coming very soon. Saturday is set up and the show begins on that following Monday through Saturday.  Here are some star snowmen I'll have out there.  The picture doesn't show the snow glitter on them.  I tea stained the warm and natural and added some rusty bells for their buttons.  These were fun to  make.

And I just finished these angels today.  I started yesterday and just completed them today.  I hope I have enough for a full week!  Guess I'll be burning the mid night oil this week!

I'll post some pictures of my craft display next weekend.  Have a great week.  Wish me luck!

Blessings,
