I love wool applique, 

{{ well - I love everything and have my hand in it all }}

but I wanted to design a simple, quick project for you

 in my very favorite medium

  wool!

so here is my

Tiny Stocking ~ Wool Applique

and here are your pattern & directions ~

click on the photo below, then save to your computer...

then you can print it out & begin some quiet handwork!

 

 

This time of year is so busy for all of us, 

especially women ~

 we tend to over-exert ourselves

 to make sure everyone we love is happy & content...

but

we sometimes forget that WE need time to recharge

and just plain be good to ourselves.

Needlework is a huge part of my life, 

and I take time everyday to work on something ~

... whether it is a small project just for myself

or a new design for you!

I also love {{{LOVE}}} cookies.

they are tiny portable bits of heaven!

all kinds of cookies 

~ chocolate chip, peanut butter, apricot thumbprints

pfeffernusse and linzer-tarts.

the Peppermint Meltaways below

are simple to prepare and aren't fancy, but they are divine!
