This week there was a new mitten I wanted to do. Each month there is a new one and this one was perfect for me. It will be nice with my beach theme room and for relatives who love nautical items.
I did make a mess of my layout, a bit crooked, so I do need to pay attention to how I set things on, before I sew them down. It makes me want to do more with my own nautical designs on each, for a beach tree.
You can find the stockings at Christmas Present on facebook.
I also finished the top for my runner, another item that is a bit wonky. My brain is wonky lately, so are my finished items. It will be used and prim, so a little wonky is ok. Since we are just going for a weekend, I will wait and take it on the longer trip. I have my stitcheries I can work on, but I know I will be on or in the water, most of the time.
The edges will be trimmed down, after I quilt it. I like extra edge just in case it ravels. And if you notice, there is a new fabric in the mix. I decided to buy a yard to use, so I have two of each pattern. It was the perfect shades with acorns and leaves.
I thought you might like to see a photo collage of me and my family, through the years. They are all at the same camp and beach area. I was around 3 and in clothes. My mom would put dry clothes on me and I would be back in the water, I still love water. Danielle was 4 and Nick was 4 in his photo, so we were all close to the same age in the photos.
The weather looks great, no humidity, so I can enjoy being outside and later in the day we will head to the ocean, across the street. No dogs at the beaches, but no one cares after they close. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

If you think about it, when sailboats are at sea the wind makes those sails wonky so it fits. And, ever heard of Gee Bend quilts? A little wonky will fit right in there too.
Love the little mittens. You should go for a nautical Christmas tree, even a little table one would be cute.
I think your little mitten is lovely and would look great on a nautical tree. your table runner is quite lovely.
Sweet Burlingame memories :)
I don't see a thing wrong with your mittens. It's sailboats, so sometimes they are not completely level on the water, because the water isn't level all the time. I'd say it gives it movement. =)
