Advent Nativity Calendar. Need to add Velcro to the back of people and animals and sew down the numbers. Add 4 loops at top for hanger and the backing it will be completed.
Tatted Ghosts for a lady in Tx. Still need one more to tat. Pattern is from Mark Myers and tatted in size 20.
Crazy quilt block for a quilt. The purple by the toadstools is a tatted bunny. I like to add color felt behind my tatting as it defines the character. Humming bird and lady bugs are silk ribbon. The butterfly near the flower is a pattern from Helen Steven's book. The thread is rayon using 1 strand long and short stitch.
The hook rug is almost completed. I have a few more flower and the rest is background. I do not have a rug cutter so all strips are cut with a rotary cutter about 1/8 wide. A lady gave me a bag full of Pendleton Wool scraps today. Nice and clean.

Impressive progress on all fronts :-)
Lovely work. The ghosts brought a smile & the rug is superb !
Your detailing in embroidery & sewing is inspiring :-)
Very nice nativity calendar. Is it made of wool?
Thanks Ladies for visiting me and leaving a nice comment. The base is craft felt and then I build on top with different types of fabrics including wool. Baby Jesus has a wool blanket, the robes have strips of wool fabric and The hair/beards are from wool roving ( I spin and have lots of wool on hand). Lots of beads and braids.
You are really making progress on lots of projects. I always have many things in progress also. Keeps it from getting boring lol.
Tatted ghosts? So adorable! Love those little guys!
ENjoy your stitching today!

Lovely projects. I love those tatted ghosts!
Lovely embroidery
Your Advent calendar is great! I love all of your other stitching too. Someday I will hook a rug. That is one of the crafts I really want to learn. So pretty.
Your advent calendar is fantastic! I LOVE your tatted ghosts and the CQ is lovely. How wonderful of the boys to go mow the neighbor's grass.
Nice ghosts!! :)
Your advent calendar is looking great! And those tatted ghosts are so cute.
I love all details you've added to your crazy quilt block... especially the ladybugs.
