MORE FINISHES FOR 2025

 First up is --

I got the Crow Cross stitching piece--that I started in Dec of 2024--

 totally finished piece--I even had the red and white braid that they used on the model piece in the pattern--that doesn't happen very often--I even had the little snowflake button that is on the big red package that the mouse is sitting on in my button box, too!!!!

Two--not just one--but two more wall hanging sized quilts where totally finished this week--

this is my bright colored paper piecing set of Hexies-

And this heart one is all hand quilted and ready to enjoy--had a real hard time finding something in my stash for the binding--this is as close as I could get to the colors in the border--it was/is an odd color of pink--!!!!

And this table cloth--

I did not embroider this one--can't remember if someone gave it to me to finish or if it was a thrift store find--but I have had it for years--yep--for years now--it needed to be hemmed--you have NO idea how many times I have laid it on the ironing board to be finished and then it would get put away--before I did anything with it--well--yesterday it was on the ironing board--once again--and I wanted to clean and move that area around--but I made myself sit at the machine and finish this--it took less that 20 minutes, I believe, and now it can be used after a washing--  I also hemmed a new pair of flannel pj bottoms that was on the ironing board--so good for me--I guess!!!  

And I did get the moving and sorting of the sewing area finished--though I still need to do some 'setting' up yet there--but today's job was hauling out all the craft totes from the clothes closet and going through all that and mopping the closet floor--got that done just before lunch--so when I get done here--it has to get put back into the closet!!!

And one more little baby sweater has been finished and added to the bag--that bag that I  collect the finished sweaters in is nearly full--won't be long now and they will all need their buttons and get sent off to World Vision--

And who turned the heat down so low for Florida?????  it was only 39 this morning at 7am!!!  and a high of only 58 here today--OUCH!!!  but good cleaning out closet weather!!!!

WELL--HERE IS GOOD-BYE TO 2025 IN A FEW HOURS--

AND A HELLO TO--

FOR 2026----

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR--HUGS, AND BLESSINGS, DI
