PRIMITIVE SNOWMAN CANDLE MAT

Well, I'm up at 4 am this morning working on new candle mats. Got a long week of work with two jobs this week, so I'm catching some crafting time while I can.  It's time for switching modes from Fall crafts to Holiday ones.  This is my first item of the season.  This little item is a yoyo candle mat, hand stitched.  Ready for the Holidays and winter.  Green background with cardinals and snowmen. Whipping up a few of these so, if anyone wants one, just comment and I'll see what I can do!

EASTER PLAID YO-YO CANDLE MAT


I've gotten into the candle mat making mood. Sold over 80 of these little cuties last year and am doing well again this year. This one is an Easter plaid with blue, green , pink, and khaki. Trying to make a large variety. Primitive, Easter, country, character prints such as sheep, roosters, crows, sunflowers, and also Holiday ones, Fall, Halloween, and Christmas!
Little Bryson had surgery on his heel cords and now has braces to straighten up his feet. He's almost 6 months old. So is my Brahm! He's the biggest one of the 3. But he's been having trouble with a temp lately and so has my Gavin. Pooh! It's no fun having a sick baby.

Primitive Star Candle Mat


Here is one of my latest candle mats I've whipped up. This one is a favorite of mine for everyday use. Been busy trying to get back to crafting after the Holidays. Went to St. Louis, Tuesday, to take grandbaby Bryson to the doctor. Bryson was born with club feet and has been making trips to St. Louis for castings. Next week is surgery week. Then a longer stint with casts on. Thank goodness he's little, he won't remember it.
Right now I'm working on some Valentine candle mats. I will put those on when I finish them. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and New Year. I'm glad it's over with. I love Christmas time but the last minute details really get to me. So, what am I doing now? ha ha! Planning for this year! ha ha.

LONG STOCKING HAT


It's been a busy season for making items! This is one of 6 hats I've made this season! I'm selling these for 20.00 each and plan on making quite a few more this coming year. Just went last night and did some more Christmas shopping! Not quite done yet and am running out of time. But I'm just about to get a grip on it. Now to wrap all I've bought, that's a chore. Maybe I can get one of the daughters to come over and help. I picked up an afghan I started back in the Spring to start back on since I've left it alone for months. I need to get it finished up and start another one for my granddaughter for next Christmas. A busy year awaits me. I love it!

Grandbaby #2 Turkey Hat


Happy Thanksgiving! Little Gavin is ready for the day with his crocheted turkey hat! Isn't this the cutest thing! My daughter made this for him just in time for the big day. I'm up early today to polish off some of those last minute goodies to be made. Grandson , Bryer spent the night and got up with me at 5:00 am. Just had to share this picture.
