Ornament Swap

I finished all my ornaments and even recieved one. I had so much fun making these that I might have to make some for myself.

I was looking around my house yesterday and discovered that just by looking at it you would have no idea I crochet or embroider. I give all of my projects away. The most I have in the house are 2 towels and 4 shirts I made my husband and a few scarves that did not turn our nice enough to give away. So after the holidays I plan on being a little selfish and make myself some things for my home to give me the I do make things house. I will see if I can actually do that. I tend to feel guilty for keeping things for myself. I just love giving gifts. Do any of you feel the same way?

I received from pinokeeo. They are so cute.

Apple Picking

Every year my family goes apple picking. It is so much fun and seems to be the start of Fall for me. This year we were like 3 weeks behind from our usual time but there were still plenty of apples. It was so much fun. We picked some Grannys, Fujis, Reds and a few Golden. Some of the Fuji's were so huge we started calling them Hujis. I picked one that I could not even hold it in one hand I needed both. I gave it to my dad and of course forgot to take a picture. I will leave you with a large Granny Smith we picked as well. Hope you all have a great day.

Christmas Swap

Now that Halloween is over I guess I can talk a little about Christmas. I really shouldn't since Thanksgiving is not even here but I must I love Christmas so much.

I am in an ornament swap and this is a test run to see if I should make these. Part of me says yes and the other is no keep them for yourself. I really like the patterns from Sublime Stitching.

I have become a swap addict lately and mostly embroidery don't get me wrong I like to sew and crochet but right now the embroidery but has bitten pretty hard and I have no will power to speak of so embroidery I must. Next time I type it will be with embroidery calloused fingers.

Happy Halloween

Hope you all have a wonderful halloween. I just want to leave you with a nice funny picture of my family. This is my Mom, Dad and Brother in (well since it was before I was born I guess I can tell the year) 1972. My parents are always fun. They were the best growing up.

Embroidery Swap

I recieved my buttons on Friday. They were all so beautiful and wonderfully made. I am so glad I joined the swap. Enjoy while I go get some rest. Think I might be coming down with a cold.

I figured out who these wonderful buttons came from
Owl - Sarah
Apple - Amy
Tea Cup - Joy
Crown - June
Robot - Michelle (the organizer)
Orange buttons - Maitreya they are not pictured yet due to the lack of noticing the bottom of the package held a sixth button for me. I will be taking a picture of that soon. It is very pretty.
Thank you all for your hard work.
