Saturday Stitching

I made stitched a Bowl Cozy

This is a fun, easy and quick project.

Four 10" squares.

A few seams and a few darts.

In just a short while you have a cozy!

A bowl cozy!

I believe this cozy is intended to be used with something hot, but I'm using mine for when I eat ice cream.  My fingers always get cold holding a cold bowl of ice cream, maybe this will help.

Until Next Time

Blue Gingham Angel

 

I made this sweet Blue Gingham Angel for my Mom.  She hung on the wall right beside her bed and it watched over her as she slept.

 

 

 To see an angel, you must see another's soul.
To feel an angel, you must touch another's heart.
To hear an angel, you must listen to both.









 

Her apron was made from an old dresser scarf.

 

 

I love her pantaloons and leg warmers.  Her leg warmers are made from infant socks.  Just cut the tops off and you've got little leg warmers.

 



 

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

 

 



 Oh, I believe there are Angels Among Us,
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.

They wear so many faces,

Show up in the strangest places

And grace us with their mercies in our time of need.

I apologize for the spacing issues in today's post.  Blogger just would not co-operate with me today.
 

 

Until Next Time
A gathering of Angels can enlighten the whole world.

 







Hearts and YoYo's

It's really hard for me to sit with idle hands for too long at a time.  In the early evenings while watching television I look for something to keep my hands busy.

One of the things I like to do is make YoYo's.  A fun way to satisfy idle hands.  I gather all my supplies in this box top, which fits perfectly on my lap, and the stitching begins.
 

 

 

 

 ....And what a cute reward for my 'busy hands.'

 

 

 

 The hearts have to be done on the sewing machine, so I usually make them in the afternoons.  They are quick and easy.

 

 

The YoYo's take a little longer to complete, depending on how many I make.  For this batch I made 12 large, 12 medium and 12 smalls, which took several evenings.

 

 

This little cutie pie is my great gdaughter, Emma.

She loves corn on the cob!

 

Wishing you Happy Days

Until Next Time

 



I've been stitching away the hot summer afternoons.

 

 

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.  And be thankful.

Colossians 3:15
