Eight bears done for the "Holiday Depot" They are fast and easy, but hurts my hands after awhile, then it is tedious work to sew, stuff and put their faces on...SO I am doing some other stuff right now...
Cutie preemie hat.....I really like this one and hope it brings joy to someone............and warmth to a little baby....
Two of 3 prayer cloths I have knitted....these 2 are made from Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece in Brown and grey, and I made a green one (not knowing what it the picture would be) out of Green cotton. The brown one is and angel and the grey one is suppose to be a descending dove, but I think it looks like an arrow......
Saturday we went and got the kids some winter gear. A local Lutheran church had a coat giveaway. They were gently used, and each one got a coat and snow pants, and then they also go a pair of boots each. Someone must have hit one of the stores last year at the end of the season, because there was tons of boots and brand new. I feel so much better that they now are ready for winter. I was a little worried as to how I was going to get them coats and boots.
I received a package in the mail today with some felted eye glasses cases. They will be going to the nursing home. They are just gorgeous. In the box was also some cotton thread and some great little pattern books, using the worsted weight cotton. Brooke has already put in her order for a few items.
Aunt Kathy has been having her contest all month, and guess what? I won....I got to pick a pattern for a dish/wash cloth. I ended up picking "Angel Wings" yet thought about the tractor for William and the teacher ones for Brooke's teachers....
I made a Smoked Picnic for dinner, I am glad I only paid a little over $5 for it, because there was not much meat at all on it. It was mostly all bone. Good thing I fixed lots of mashed potatoes and green beans.....
I am trying to figure out how to get 4 boxes of donations mailed out this week. I say that I will help with something, thinking I have the money for postage, then something goes wrong, again, and I do not have the postage money, yet have stuff that needs to be mailed......I love to make and give, and so many have told me I have such a giving heart.....but it is getting SO very hard to do it unless I find a local place to give to...and there are not too many of those around here. I just need to find someone that wants to give but does not have a crafty hand, and talk them into being my postage person, that way they are giving and so am I....
Well I think I will get back to making some stuff for the "Holiday Depot" maybe this time I will make a hat...I did make 2 cloths, that will be sent to a Linda in NC for her local need. She sends me SOOO much cotton and I am so glad I can pay back by helping her out.
Hope everyone had a beautiful day today...................

Oh my goodness... they are all so precious, but i could see them being tedious... I know that feeling. Hugs!!
the teddies are so sweet and I can see a lot of work goes into those faces. What a nice gift for a child that has nothing. And the hat and prayer cloths will surely be welcome gifts for someone.
