Ornament exchange...

Thank you Mdm Samm for organizing
the 2015 Christmas ornament exchange.

It never fails, like all the linky party's I join, I'm always soooo late. 

My partner was Christel who blogs at A Far Place.
Christel designs amazing miniature sculptures...
fairies, mermaids and so much more.
Her detail and talent is outstanding..
after viewing her blog I fell in love with all her sculptures
especially her Wizard of Oz characters.
Her WIP Southern Bell is so beautiful.

I hadn't met Christel before and after we exchanged emails
I'm sure she knew I loved all snowmen/snow ladies.

She found a sweet snowman

and made some super sweet gingerbread ornaments.

They smell so yummy!!

 and some frosty gingerbread snowmen heads

Thank you Christel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found a few ornaments I thought Christel would like...

she told me she liked earth tones and that was my start 

and after viewing her blog I was on a mission.

I love this sweet angel it was my first find

then the hand painted Santa ornament.

The last find was a wine bag...

not your normal wine bag.

I'm linking to the party at Mdm Samm's
before I am too late...down to minutes before the party ends.


Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2016!!

Tammy Project Bag and a giveaway coming soon...

...where does the time go..today is day 4 of the

Tammy Project Bag Blog Hop

I'm so glad to be participating in this fun blog hop

hosted by Mdm Samm at Sew We Quilt.

Thank you Mdm Samm for making this blog hop possible

and for designing this sweet bag pattern...I luv it!!
I will definitely be making more of them.

My first bag is a sewing kit....

...a bag I can carry all my hand sewing supplies when travelling in the car
or taking to quilting.
The outside fabric is a sewing print by Debbie Mumm with an
orange pin dot by Moda.

a view of the inside...

yes, all these goodies can fit into the bag!!

My second bag is for my embroidery projects.

It's a black gingham on the outside
with a yellow, orange and white floral print lining.
The crocheted flower has a yellow button center.

You will find some needles, a variety of flosses, 
tracing pens, scissors and patterns...

...I was able to fit 6 patterns in the bag.
It definitely holds more than you think.

Some of my favorite embroidery patterns lately are Rag-Tag Stitchin' 
designed by
Michelle Ridgway...an Australian designer.

Thanks for stopping by...Ü
please visit the other talented ladies
participating in the Tammy Project Blog Hop today...
be prepared to be inspired!!
