It is unmistakable that Christmas is approaching. The stores are fully decked and I have caught a few commercials on television...oh my!
To usher in the season of Joy....I stitched a new Christmas Tree Skirt....
I designed a woolen, bow-tied bow wow to circle the skirt....
I added some pebble stitching and a bit of rik-rak around the bottom...Woof!
And what would Christmas be without a new stocking to hang on the mantle?
Some Art Gallery fabrics, Essex Linen and a wee Dresden....
top it off with a lovely crochet trim...

And you have a Molly Flanders Stocking!
Thank you to all our Veterans on this Veteran's Day!
Just like many American families, I am proud to have had many members of my family serve in the military.
Thank you!
happy Sunday!
