Monday Makings

In a bit of a panic the holiday mood, I did some baking and sewing today....
here is a peek at my work bench kitchen table...


Not so bad?  Not so fast - here it is from a different angle....


wonder where we are eating tonight?
I am making some needle books for my nieces....hope they aren't reading this....
the tutorial is from nanacompany.  If you haven't visited her site she has some very sweet things.
The embroidery transfers are Jenny Hart...


A little stitching and a little patchwork....


Some felt pages for pins, needles, buttons, etc....
  

Do you think of more to make just as the day draws near???


Happy Monday!

  4. What a purr-fect little cat that is! I just cannot keep up with all your making...

    I am wrestling with quilting a UFO - obviously wool batting and thick flannel backing are not a good mix!
