I have been busy this week, a great way to keep my mind and hands busy while I finish off the last of the flu. My first piece is the second of the set from Blueberry Backroads. I colored this one with pencils, but it didn't pop, so I used my ink markers and love how that looks. I will recolor the first one, as well.
The second piece I finished is a stocking with a design from Cheri's Friendship group on Facebook. The design is free and another member did a design on a stocking and gave us the template to copy. She had machine sewed her stocking and I left the seam allowance on mine, so a little fatter, but it is nice for those wider design elements. The stocking measures 10".
I also tested some recipes, this one is my new favorite. It is Sweet Potato flat bread and so easy to make and only two ingredients. I was doubtful that it would work, but it does and it is delicious. Today I made up some apple - pineapple jam and it went great with them. For Thanksgiving I plan on making small ones and using cranberry and fruits to go with them. It stays moist in a sealed container, so you can make it ahead and just reheat before dinner.
And for Friday's freebie, a cute little reindeer. I found the photo at another foreign site and no pattern, so I did up my own. The wools I used were not as dense as I thought, but they still came out nicely. I will definitely make more of these, great to hand out or add to gifts. These are about 4 1/2 x 3 1/2.
And here is the design that I used. You can add your own buttons, different appliqués and colors. I hope you have fun, making your own. Have a wonderful weekend!

Wonderful things you've been making! I am surprised you can make any kind of bread with just two ingredients, too! I have to try it out. The jam sounds delicious, too. Now the little reindeer - that's so sweet! Thank you so much for the pattern. That's very nice and generous of you.
I love this.. thank you.
Yummy food and eye candy... Makes me hungry just looking.
Your little snowman pillow and stocking are just too cute.
I love your little fuzzy snowman. I know he isn't the subject of the post, but just too cute not to mention.
Thank you for the reindeer pattern. Adorable!!
Hi- I just found your blog (via a YouTube video by Quilt Roadies). I was wondering what type of markers you used for your snowman project shown on your Friday Nov 22, 2019 post? I am new to crayon and pencil embrodiery and markers sound fun too!
