The sewing room has been having a ceiling installed and that means my sewing machine and all my junk paraphernalia has been under wraps. It's a back breaking job at our age to install a ceiling so every time the man of the house took a day off I did a bit of sewing.....
No plans for this one yet.
The design for the snowman can be found here.
I was wanting the primitive look for this one using tea dyed muslin for the stitchery and a faded homespun for the rest - I couldn't get the lighting just right for the photo (it looks much brighter than it actually is). The holly is a design from here.
I remember making wine jackets for gifts many years ago. I was pleased that I still had the pattern. The black one is just some whimsy and the aqua one is for a certain someone. They are a nice way to dress up a gift of wine or dress up a bottle of wine on the table.

Lovely finishes Kate :) I love the little candle mat with the snowman design!
Lovely finishes. Love the wine jackets, such a sweet idea.
Looking at your sewing it looks like you are getting ready for Christmas....hope the ceiling is in by then x
Sweet projects Kate. Love the snowman stitchery, thanks for the link, and the wine bottle jackets are really cute.
Beautiful work Kate, just love your stitching ! One day I need to find the time as I so much love to hand applique -- I'm sure if I learned more about embroidery I would love that too! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by the blog. Hugs, Karen
