Sewing and listing away!

Today was cold but sunny,so I was able to get outside
to take some pictures.
These are the 12 Elf stockings I made a while back.
I was playing around with this photo on picnik.
Most of these are now for sale in my shop

One of the sets of coasters that are now listed for sale in my etsy shop!
This set is coffee themed.  The other set not pictured here
is rooster themed.

Early this morning I was able to "occupy my sewing room"
and sewed up 6 sets of  triangle pot holders! 
Three of the sets are going in gift boxes for Mr. P's bosses wives,
the other 3 are now listed for sale!

This is one of the sets in my shop,it features penguins.

How about some Christmas cows? 

Or maybe some peppermint snowmen with candy canes!

This set just would not line up for me!
I still like it,even tho the triangles do not line up like they are
supposed to.
I used some Kate Spain that I had left from making the elf stockings,
and one of my Christmas block swap blocks.
Also the candy cane on black fabric,which I can not remember
who makes?  The back,or bottom of this set is a solid white by
Moda.

This set is also going to one of the bosses wives.
I love all the green :)
Too bad I have to give it away,just kidding!
I actually made myself a rooster one that goes great in my
kitchen :)

The last set features Snoopy/Charlie Brown,and a coordinating
Christmas print.
Hope that the ladies like them!

These coasters will make a great teacher gift,at least I think they
would.  These were made this summer,along with another couple
that are similar.

Well I am off to whip up something in the kitchen!
Not sure what yet,but will post about it soon :)

Stockings,cozys,quilt blocks...

The Stockings were hung by the fireplace on the fence with care!
I saw these in a magazine recently,they are so flippin cute,I knew
that they were going straight to the Top of my list :+)

It took me about a day and a half to make 12 of them!  There are
8 large ones and 4 smaller ones.  The toes are what made them such
a challenge for me,especially getting the lining in properly!!
My sewing room was pretty blue with all the swearing going on
in there.  Of course it didn't help that I used flannel for the lining
either!
I will make more but,next time I will Not be using flannel for the
lining.
These are going to the Craft Fair with me next Saturday.




Mr. P treated me (and his-self) to a Starbucks this afternoon :)
Which reminded me that cozy's were on my to sew "list".  One
of my Bloggy friends had sent me a fat quarter of each of these
prints earlier this year!  They were sitting there waiting for me to
decide what to use them to make.
Some of these will also be at my booth!
In different prints of course ;)

This is my pretty in pink block!  It is one of three that I recently
received from Jenna who is our Bee Mama!

Next up is the party girl ;)  That is what I am calling this block!
She just looks like she is wearing a party dress to me.

Here are all three blocks,both owlie blocks and the signature
block too.
Thank you Jenna,I love them all!

Know what these might be???

Every year the local Safeway store has a "Tree of Hope"  which
one of the local non-profit organizations puts up and decorates
with these paper ornaments.

Each ornament has a number and letter code on it.  Each one says
Male or Female  and the age of the person it is for.
Below that is a short list of suggested items that person needs or
could use.

Usually I take one ornament,but this year I found 2 that called out
to me :)
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!
