kitchen gnomes dish towels embroidery patterns
This is the embroidery homework I was talking about after Christmas. My pattern distributor, Brewer Sewing Supply asked me to come up with an embroidery design that they could offer as patterns and kits.

bells of glittery
Oscar and I had so much fun making these ornaments for gifts and for our tree. Oscar loved picking the trims and using the hot glue gun. I love how vintage glitz they are.

And this is my new ornament this year, from Martha Stewart for Macys. Peppermint baby!
And here are some of the usual suspects.
