New Shower Curtain

Well, it's done, not bad for my first time making a shower curtain. I love the fabric and the colors in it. The one below was the old one that has been there since the kids were little, so it's more than time for a new one.

Not sure what I'm doing today, I've got a bunch of fabric to cut out for a Table runner and I have to cut out a couble more blocks for the squishie swap so I guess I will be cutting today lol.

P.C. Haunted House- Done

This is the grave yard and side of the house.

This is the back.

This is the other side of the house

I changed the color of the house to brown because I didn't have grey, but I like it better it looks more like wood now. I also added some cobwebs but Hubby said it looked like snow so I added it to the ground too.

This is what the picture for the pattern looked like.

i'm really happy to have this done and now it's sitting in the Livingroom on my table with tissue in it. One to the next thing on my list.

Now alot of these projects are UFO's and have been around since 2006, so maybe I can get them off my list.

Wool Ornaments

I made these this today first time using wool, it was really easy to sew and it didn't bother my hand. The ornament patterns are from my friend Sandi They are called A Trio of Tree Ornaments and it comes in a kit with the wool.

This is the last one it's a tree, the pattern called for french knots in different colors. When I showed it to Hubby he said it looked like a pin cushion and to use the color pins to make it look like ornaments and I did. I think it came out really nice.
I have a couple of other patterns from her to now just have to get more wool, so I can make them and find out what kind of wool she uses.
Thanks Sandi for a fun day.

I really like the way it came out. with the embellishments also. The Challenge is a viewer's Choice at Quilts Your Way Forum. Will let you know who I do.
Now back to finishing the Stitch A Witch Table topper.
