Lazy Day

This is one of the very first primitive stitch patterns I stitched yrs. ago. I have forgotten who the designer was. Are you having a frosty night? We sure are where we live in Ky. It is to be very very cold here tonite.
I love the pearl buttons. I used flannel fabric for the 'frame'.

I thought I'd share a few more pics with you of some of my favorite things I've made over the yrs.


This is an older pattern I think from Homebodies. I still love him and now he is perched outside, along w/his buddies on our new front porch for the winter months. I used real tail feathers on the bird. He is made mostly out of warm and natural batting which I grubbied, and used Snow Tex on his scarf and nose.

This was a pattern taken from Create and Decorate. I made the clay button nose on the large one in the middle. The rest of the noses were made from wool felt. I used flannel fabric around the edges. I gave this to a very dear friend a yr. ago for Christmas.

This sheep is made out of overdyed wool. He is one of my all-time favorite patterns I've made over the yrs. I think this is a Wooden Spools pattern, but not totally sure. I love the overdyed wools especially.

I made this stitchery quilt a few yrs. ago. It's a Buttermilk Basin pattern. I just added burgandy homespun fabric in between the blocks and hand-tied them together.

This is a pic of one very spoiled doggie, BJ. He's a Blue Tick Beagle, full blooded. We originally thought we would breed him, but never did. He'll be 5 in April.

I made this small snowman rag quilt entirely out of flannel. This was super easy. All I did was use a circle pattern(you can use a small bowl) about 5 or 6 inches in diameter, then just stitch on some X's, a mouth, and blanket stitch all the way around. Turn the nose every which way and there you have it. I like to use pearl cotton when going through thicker layers. This is draped over our sectional couch in the winter time. I love the feel of flannel, so soft and warm.

We were supposed to have gotten several inches of snow overnight, but only got a little, with a bit of rain mixed in, turning to slush. I hope this day finds you warm and cozy wherever you are.

This is the first time in months that I haven't had several things on my to-do list to get done today. I am thoroughly enjoying my lazy day here at home, which has been few and far between for quite some time. I was secretly hoping to get snowed in! I love it when you actually have an excuse NOT to go anywhere or have to be anywhere. Enjoy your weekend everyone! Thanks for stopping by!
