With the holiday weekend, I didn't have time to do too many things in the sewing room, so I made up a couple of small stitcheries that I can add to my Christmas box.
They are designs from the Kindred Spirit Christmas book. I didn't finish them off since I just finished them today, but I love the tree piece for a balsam pillow, so I will probably make the pillow, but wait till next year to stuff it so I can use fresh balsam. I think it would be fun to get more prim buttons and maybe try some mini bells instead of the bright buttons. The angel may become a mini quilt. I like the idea of making mini's that I can fit in a small envelope and send as a gift.
No walnut stain on these, the backing is tea stained muslin, so I will probably leave these alone.
Yesterday we had my son and Nick for dinner. I was not feeling great so I took it easy and used all my energy for Nick, but it wore me out. Today was a rest day, just watching tv and a little simple stitching.
I took Nick to the playground and we even went down the slide a few times, though a kids slide is not made for a ladies rear;) He loved his knapsack filled with goodies, especially the flower lollipops. Sadly he started getting a fever before he left and tonight he is worse so my Son is taking him to the emergency room to be safe. I sure hope my sweet little guy is ok. They are leaving early tomorrow morning, so not sure how this will effect that.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Aww... poor Nick! I hope he is feeling better! He's such a heart melter when he is smiling! :-)
Cute stitcheries! Great way to keep the hands busy until we can get outside and enjoy the sun! Have a great week!
The flu has been going around here. Even some schools were cancelled and the kids were told to stay at home during the break. What a shame Nick had to leave while feeling poorly. The picture is darling and the little book will be fun for him to look at.
Hey Debbie...ohhhh, I hope Nicholas is feeling better! He is adorable, by the way. So happy that you have time with him. Your little stitched pieces are wonderful, as always. Feel better!
