A landscape update

 There have been several additions to the landscape as you can see...


- THIS  is a really pretty scarf design.

- For those of you with an over-abundance of fabric scraps after your Christmas-making frenzy, perhaps THIS might be fun.  And if you have yarn bits leftover, how about making THIS.

- I wouldn't mind some of THIS appearing at Christmas time (well, anytime, really!)

- THESE would be a fun edible gift 

- And if you're wanting to serve a charcuterie board, HERE are some ideas.

- If you're searching for a quick gift for a neighbour or friend, how about THIS

Today's quote is from Steve Maraboli..."Want to keep Christ in Christmas?  Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you"

    Love the scarf, baked Cheezits, and the charcuterie.

    1. Thank you - the stones look real because they were printed onto fabric and then appliqued into place. There's more detailing to go on them yet, but the base is laid down.

    1. The red is a bit too in your face at the moment - hopefully it will tone down somewhat as I go along

    1. The stream was a bit tricky to accomplish and there's more to do on it yet.

    1. The wheel has been toned down somewhat since this photo was taken so hopefully it doesn't 'stick out' quite so much. It's an evolutionary process.

  7. It seems like this is coming together quickly.

    1. It's getting there but there's a lot to do yet before I'm done with it.

  8. I see that all that digging through scraps of cloth was all worth while. How beautiful it is already!

    1. I'm still digging through scraps - currently trying to find what I need to create trees.

    Sherry of createology: I do see progress and it is coming right along. My Grandma loved Water Wheels. I certainly am praying your weather allows your Son and family to safely come visit on his only day off in forever. Bundle up and stay warm and safe my friend. Most of the hustle and bustle is winding down and it is time to enjoy the Wonder and Magic of Christmas. Holly Jolly…

    1. Alas, we're the ones that will be doing the traveling if we do get together so we'll have to wait and see. Storm is due to hit overnight and last into the weekend.
