Snow & Stitcheries

I've finally gotten a couple stitcheries done since all we've been getting lately is snow so been staying in and sewing this first picture is of the snow we're getting right now up to a foot they're calling for between today and Wed. evening guess that means my friend & I won't be going to our quilting guild meeting tomorrow night...darn! Can you see the cardinal in the bird feeder have to keep our feathered friends fed in this cold & snow well enough about that white stuff...

This stitchery is going to be a little pillow I think, love the saying...Home is where your story begins...

and these next two stitcheries are from the book An angels story by Anni Downs from "Hatched and Patched" love her stuff I now have 5 or 6 angels done want to make a quilt out of them wish me luck so there you have it what I've been doing along with of course all the other things that keep you busy how do we find the time for the fun things... until tomorrow happy sewing and stay warm if your in my neck of the woods!!
