Slowly emerging from the doldrums

Christmas sewing killed my mojo. It is only recently that I have seen a glimmer of it returning. But in the meantime, here are a few photos of the gift madness.

My army of Gingermen ornaments, ready to take over the world.


Gingerbread cookie kits, with cookie mix, cookie cutter, ornaments, and bag


Hot chocolate kit, with mix and bag


Holiday collar (as modeled by a horse, because I don't have a dog!!)


And that doesn't even include the quilts and gift tags. I will do those next week. Shew!!

Squirrel! Woof!

My sister was kind enough to do my hair for my wedding, and in return I offered to do some sewing for her.

Her choice.....a custom collar for her dog with squirrels on it!

I machine embroidered the tiny little squirrels and stitched it up for her. It was surprisingly easy to do once I disassembled a cheap collar to figure out how it was put together.

And I have to admit.....it turned out pretty cute.

Here it is modeled on my stuffed horse (the cats wouldn't stand still for it!).
