These are some things I'm working on. I'm clipping on the tree skirt.
And you wouldn't believe how many times I've repainted those faces. I've got so much fleshtone paint on them that they look like they have been to a beach in FL and got a nice sun tan!
I'll post pics when they are completely done.

My train tote I'm making for Train Days in our town. All I need on this one is the bottom fixed. Two more almost done too.

Had to try this pattern out. Like my crows. They are fun to paint.

Whose ready for Christmas! These look good enough to eat! I had fun working on these two.

Something new I'm doing. A friend asked me if I could make her a saddle for the tombstone. I gave it my best shot. I think it turned out pretty good.

Thank you both. I have to set and draw a pattern for clothes for them now. And get the hair put on. I know I can do the clothes. Will just take time to get them right.

I was thinking of doing a tree skirt with crows on it. I've been wondering how that would look.

I only used two pieces of fabric for the stars. Hope it's enough to rag it up some. I probably should of used four pieces of fabric.

Both of these patterns came from my friend Trish. She makes up all her patterns. Some are free and some she sells. I always love seeing what else she comes up with for me to try to make.

This pattern is really easy to do. And you don't have to use prim fabrics. In fact you don't even have to rag it. Just sew it as normal. Fix a back to match in what you want your fabric to be. Cut your batting out to fit your top piece. Lay your back and front right sides to right sides. Lay your batting on top. Sew around leaving an opening for turning. Whip up the hole. And quilt it!

Or you can just do it as a regular quilt. Sandwich it together and put a binding on when you are done.

You can also fix a pull if you like on the top. To pull it tight around your tree.

So many ideas.

I will be sure to post completed pics for you all to look at. Just hope I do a good job on the clothes. I've made clothes from patterns. But never made my own up before.
