Another Scarf

I fell in love with this gray linen scarf

that I saw on Pinterest.

Not having any linen in my stash,

I did come up with a bit of

gray Wool Flannel.

I stitched a length of it together

and crocheted an edge similar to the original

 

and for a touch of Christmas,

pinned it with my Pear Tree pin.

Just in time to wear to a sweet

Granddaughters ballet recital

as a Mouse in The Nutcracker!

Red Buffalo Check Scarf

I've had this classic Red Check flannel

fabric in my stash since last winter

(when big checks were popular!)

 I quickly cut and stitched this

scarf in less than five minutes.

Pulling out the threads to make the fringe ~

quite a bit longer!

The Burlap Wreath Gets a Little Christmas On!

You may remember this burlap wreath that I

made in October. I love the simplicity

and country style of it. The burlap 

looks as if it were cut right from the

feed sack! Perfect for those

harvest-y Autumn days

 here at the farm.

Now that Christmas is approaching and the

days are shorter and drab,

I wanted to add just a touch

 of festive color to cheer it

(and me) up! 

I used some plaid wired ribbon

that I already had. I

 made several little 'picks' of

the ribbon fashioned into

loops to mimic the looped

burlap, and fastened here and there.

Then I added a larger gathering

to the center of the burlap bow.

It still wanted something.

I have had this little German Glitter Banner

that I had recieved from Madai at

Wren Cottage a couple of years ago, and

thought it might be just the addition it needed.

The glitter is a bit tarnished with age now

but I think it added just the right touch!

Simple ~ Country 

Just like me! 

Yep! I like it

It brings me a bit of JOY!
