2022 in Review

 

Here are my finishes and some of the projects I worked on in 2022.  So many things not pictured though, that are in process.  Had to include my two babies as well.  So proud of what they have accomplished in 2022 and continue working on for 2023!

Ringing in the New Year with a nice, quiet, day at home with the love of my life!  We will hit 28 years married later this year.  And of course, I will squeeze in some sewing as well!

Best Wishes to all  in 2023!

Special Pillow

 

A friend brought me a shirt her mother had embroidered for her years and years ago.  She said she would never wear the shirt again but wanted to preserve the three special kitty embroideries from her mother's hands.  I combined them with some ivory to match the bedding in the room where she will use the pillow.  I think it came out beautifully.  

The flange is awesome!  I am not sure I will ever do a pillow without one ever again!  

Christmas gifts

Now that Christmas is complete, and gifts have been gifted, I can show some of them. 

Here is my daughter's Baby Yoda.   She is a Star Wars addict and LOVES "The Mandalorian".  So, there was no question that she had to have a baby Yoda for Christmas- none of which go on sale until May, so, I pulled out my crochet hooks and a free pattern from sarahmaker.com.  This is my first 3D project and I will not be jumping into another any time soon.  However, he is VERY cute and VERY LOVED!  In fact, as much as I know she loves him, it was hard to let him leave with her tonight.  I have to say he is my proudest make of the year!

Yoda was completed in about 4 sittings- one of which started Sunday morning when I got up and ended Sunday night about bed time.  My husband fed me- otherwise, I did not leave Yoda's side.  

Here is the lap quilt I made for my daughter as well.  She loved it too!  The flannel backing is Porgs.
My son got a gray flannel comforter set for his bed and one of the accompanying pillows got a quick cover with some of the Star Wars left overs...

The plates were made with my Cricut and the towels and potholders were scrap projects- all went to friends.  

That is about all the crafted presents this year, though there were some ornaments etc- made for my own tree.  I also framed quite a few pieces of purchased art and pictures for family members.  

Hope you were able to share some of your creations with friends and family who appreciate them like mine do.  

Merry Christmas!
