This has not been a particularly productive week with my sewing projects. I started making a pillow for a friend as a housewarming gift but ran out of the Essex linen fabric I am using for the background--I want to use it on the back of the pillow as well. I called 7 quilt stores before finally finding it in the right colour at a store two hours from here. I ordered what I need and they will ship it out early this week. It won't take long to install the zipper and finish off the pillow. The recipients like earth tones rather than bright colours, hence the colour of the wreath.
It has been a snowy week in Finn's neck of the woods, and here as well. He loves to stick his face in the snow. He is not so fond of his coat and booties that he has to wear if going for a walk. Finn had a haircut this week so he really does need his coat on when he's out for a walk.
I added more stitches to my cross stitch project this week. Can anyone guess what this is going to be?
The local railway museum's second annual Christmas tree display is open on the weekends and we went to see the trees on Friday night. The local Rug Hooking Guild decorated a tree with hooked ornaments made by their members. I would like to try making some hooked ornaments...maybe for next year.
There was also a Lego Christmas village, complete with a Christmas train going around the village.
I will link up with Kathy and Frederique. I hope to get more stitching done next week. We will see. It's a busy time of year with lots of commitments.
