Houses and a new Teddy

Still building houses, here are my latest, 

they are all built with tiny scrap.

"HI there, I've just been knitted but haven't got a name yet".

This Classic Teddy Bear is only 11" tall,  

was designed by Mary Ann Gebhardt,

 they say her teddy bears have been featured in museums in England, 

Japan and Switzerland.

It would be nice to see some of them one day. 

This one was easy to knit, and I might do another one.

Until next time,

happy stitching and knitting

Sweet Nostalgia + Three houses

Three more Houses Built from Scraps.

I like making them, but I have to be careful not to neglect my Dear Jane.

Must try to divide my spare time between these two.

That my friend can be difficult.

And also I finished my December block for Sweet Nostalgia

"Naughty Or Nice?"

This song has been going through my head for some time now:

"The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people goin' by I see friends shaking hands saying, "How do you do" They're really saying "I love you." I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll ever know; And I think to myself, What a wonderful world; Yes, I think to myself, What a wonderful world. Oh yeah! - Louis Armstrong"

I just love that text.

Until next time, have a wonderful stitching time.

Building Houses From Scraps

Hello friends, long time since my last blog. 

I went to Iceland to celebrate Christmas with my family. 

It was nice, lots of snow.

Started my first block there

"Building Houses From Scraps"

I'll not be making one a day, just when I feel like it.

I have so many other projects going, 

I really should not start this one - but I did.

I'm still working on "Sweet Nostalgia" December block,

My Flower Garden is growing,

The Civil War Bride is resting, I have 9 blocks done,

Still working on DJ and I'm quilting The Farmhouse. 

Yes, and I'm still collecting "Siggies",

two were waiting for me when I came back home.

The newest family member is Kolur, German Shepherd four months old puppy,

belongs to my son, isn't it just gorgeous????

Some pictures from Reykjavík, this is Hallgrímskirkja

the largest church in Iceland,  (74,5 meters (244 ft))

The church is named after the Icelandic poet and clergyman Hallgrímur Pétursson.

This is just a small street called Lokastígur near the church.

And this is the Einar Jónsson (Icelandic sculptor) Museum, 

just opposite the church.

I wish you all a Healthy and a good Stitching-Quilting New Year.
