Something new

I am going to be showing the progression of my new hooked rug. I am tired of creating for everyone else and I have nothing for myself. So,I am making a larger hooked rug for just little ole me. Be on the lookout nad I will be sharing. This is the tease or warm up to the next few weeks.

I am an indepepndent online appraiser for an online auction house. If you are interested in getting great items for great deals, take a look. It is easy to sign up and easy to bid with them. Here is the link and I hope you will check them out. This week they are auctioning off tons of collectible serigraph and lithographs. Some are framed and some are not. In the weeks ahead, they will be auctioning off collectible sports memorabilia and then Very Collectible toys as well. Keep an eye open for those as well.

Prim old quilt Christmas Stockings

These are some newer versions of my Christmas stockings i make every year. I used some brighter and more colorful quilts this year and I also used some of my old hand dyed feedsack material..... My dog Chester seems happy that he has something to stare at!!!!!!!!I am selling these on Etsy as well. I can't wait for Christmas!

sCRAP wool holiday Christmas wreaths

I saw in a craft magazine a great idea for using those unwanted wool scraps that you might feel guilty throwing away. The idea is to take what ever wool, cut it into 1" squares and then punch heavy gauge florists wire thru the wool and VOILA, you have a small to mid-size wreath. They are fun and easy to make.... just make sure that you have a wire cutter for finishing off the wire when you have finished. I am selling some on ETSY right now but I wanted to show you this great crafting idea.....You can use them as tree ornies, wall decor, mantle decor, door decor and even table displays. I left some of the wreaths without ribbons to hand them and then I added longer ribbons to some.

I have included some pictures so you can get an idea of how they turned out.

Let me know what you all think...

All the best to everyone this Thanksgiving season......Kim
