New Ornies from Freebies!

I saw a link to a french blog called Scrap Quilt and Stitch for a free pattern and never did find the actual pattern. But, I found another one with 3 cute wool pieces. I loved the moose and had to do it in a stitchery. There are other freebies, as well, so check out the blog and some wonderful free patterns for the holidays.

I made mine into a flat ornie and antiqued it. I think these are nice to hang from a tree or a peg rack.

Then I wanted to make something small and quick to add to a package. I found this fun tree fabric and made some mini tree shapes. I added some balsam to them and then a few ties and a star, and instant ornie for a package and the scent of maine pine for their home.

If you would like another wonderful free pattern, visit Jo Ann at Wool Crazies. She has a wonderful pattern for a snowman and stocking for you wool lovers.

New Braided Rug

Since I went the easy way and bought braided runners, I decided to take the wool I put together and make a rug for my living room. It is nothing fancy, just scrap wools that I wanted to use up and it will cover the floor until I make a better one. As you can see, Izzy had to test it, the minute I laid it down. I will keep going around until it covers the middle area of the room.



Since It was so beautiful out today, I enjoyed some cooler air on the porch. Of course I start to see things as the dusk settles in.
Do you see what I saw in the trees? Every time I go to Maine, I say I will see a moose and never do, so now I have one in my backyard;)
