Back to my 'normal' routine ~

 Monday:

rainy & cold...freezing drizzle (i love that word...)

my favorite weather!

I love rainy mondays ~ ask my Mom, she'll tell you.

don't know why, but a rainy monday brings back sweet memories 

of Mom ironing and watching soap operas...

those days were cozy & warm...a "chicken-soup-kind-of-day"~

now I prefer to do handwork on these grey winter days.

who am I kidding? I prefer handwork any day.

Now that the open house is a wonderful memory,

I will begin settling back in to a normal routine of designing, creating and deadlines.

The Jan/Feb/March 2014 Little Stitches Handwork Club project needs to be finished.

New wooden items are in the progress in Peter's woodshop ~ the sawdust is flying!

another BOOK deadline needs to be met (hint hint!!!!)

Our new Winter 2014 'regular' design models

(punch needle, cross stitch, rug hooking and appliqué ) need to be finished for their release.

...here are a few snaps of one of the appliqué designs in progress:

I have to fix his eye ~ it's crooked!

...there will be a 'mate' to this design, so I'll show pics of her soon ~

Hoping you all are settling in to your comfy chairs 

...and that your hands are keeping warm

by working on something 'Winter-y'!

~ Stay warm & safe my Friends! ~

* Blessed be *
