TWO DOOR HANGINGS FINISHED TODAY.

I finally finished both door hangings.

This one is "Easter Egger" and measures 15 1/2" by 16" so its the smaller one.

This one is "Easter Gnomes" and measures 17 1/2" by 21 1/2 inches.

Now I can think of making something else.  Right now I think I will rest a couple days before beginning a new project.

We had sunny weather today but cold, its still in the 30s and 40sF here in Southern Maine for now.

Oh yes, I also started some veggie seeds indoors yesterday.  There's both Garlic and Onion Chives, Italian Parsley and Bunching Onions.  I think I mentioned that I ordered my Tomato, Pepper, and English Thyme plants online.  They will arrive started and ready to transplant in my garden mid-May.  I just do not have the room to start many plants and that saves time, energy, and space.  In my little apartment, space is at a premium.

Have a good day my Friends.  

 

Started 'Easter Chicken' Wallhanging

I got my latest wallhanging started today.   I call her "Easter Chicken" because she is sitting on several colorful eggs.

At this point she is stitched in place.  Lots more to do to finish.

Unicorn in Moonlight is Finished.

 I finished my latest wall hanging for my front door.  Unicorn in Moonlight measures 17.5 by 19.5 inches.

With my neck and back aching now, I will have to put off starting my next project with gnomes in it for another day.

I am starting a new Food Plan today.  I really want to see if I can lose 10 pounds by the time I see my heart doctor in early April.  I know I cannot give up foods I really love, but I hope I can live with decreasing on everything, from main meals to snacks.  That should work in my favor.  

Wish me luck.  I will keep you posted.

"Unicorn" is Pinned

 I finally have my Unicorn in Moonlight pinned.  Still have lots to do but I am making some headway.

Today I sketched another Gnome, this time in front of a birch tree trunk home with some colorful eggs beside him.  I think he will have a cute pair of pants.

Have a good day my friends. 

I Worked on my 'Unicorn in Moonlight' Today.

 It was a nice sunshiny day so I felt good and wanted to sew.  I worked on my Unicorn in Moonlight today.  I got the satin-stitching done and even added a fairy to the piece.  I love my fairies.

Here it is at this point.  Borders come next but that decision is one that concerns me.  Shall I go with turquoise, blue, green, lavender, or maybe even pink.  That's yet to come.

Here's a closer view of the fairy.  I adore my fairies so thought this was a good place to add one.

I have another unicorn drawing done and a couple of gnomes so will also have to decide which to do next.

Have a Happy Valentine's Day everyone.

My Winter Warbler is Finished.

 I got another door hanging finished.  Winter Warbler, at 14.5" by 17" is hanging on my front door.  I am happy to see that finished.  I have my Unicorn in Moonlight on the schedule next.

I have also been drawing some Gnomes with different hats and beards and will chose fabrics for the different outfits.  I think they will work well for seasonal figures on my door.  I can run the gamut from spring to Christmas with the Gnomes and choose from many different backgrounds.

With spring around the corner, I will have to slow down my sewing time when I have my raised garden bed to tend.   I need to get going on my several ideas for door hangings this year.

I Worked on My Winter Warbler Door Hanging

 I finally got back to working on my Winter Warbler door hanging today.  I started the satin-stitching.  I want to get it done before we get too far into spring so I can use it this season.

I still have lots to do before its finished, but at least I made a start.

I am informed we got about 12 inches of snow with this latest storm.  Since I no longer have a car I do not have to worry about driving in this bad weather, nor do I have to jockey a car around the parking lot while they plow our parking lot.  And no shoveling snow off a car.  It sure makes my winters easier to handle though not driving my own car has its own issues.

I also managed to get my Gnome Village door hanging finished within the last several days and got it hung on my door.  It measures 17 by 17.5 inches.

Have a nice day my friends.
