older projects that need finished



I started this pillow several years ago. I stopped because I didn't like how the snowman blended in with the tea stained muslin. I still feel the same way, but wanted to get it done!

This penny ornament I started last year at a MOPs meeting. I had a horrible time with the blanket stitch. I need to master it, I want to use it on a few other projects I have in mind.

I'm currently putting the pillow together while watching HGTV. I found an old chennille blanket at a local thrift store. I am soaking it in coffee and vanilla. Can't wait to make a standing snowman I found on Esty that inspired me.

I think I'll head to bed soon... thanks for looking at my crafts. I'm having so much fun!

Holly - You should rub a little bit of diluted light brown acrylic paint around the edges of the snowman. Mix it up like Cathy did to make the acrylic stain we used on our blocks at MOPS. It will make him stand out more and he'll look nice and primitive.

Looks like you've been busy! Caught the craft bug?
