I've had fun handstitching

I can't believe it is December 22

I have found some time to enjoy handstitching

nanaCompany gorgeousness

I made enough mittens for our family

including one for our precious Border Collie

 who passed away a few years ago

I have admired Amy's beautiful handmade creations 

for quite a while

The pretty handstitched details, the sweet fabrics, 

gorgeous designs and her exquisite patchwork!

I liked piecing the patchwork and sequins on this mitten

The handstitching on the edge is the perfect touch

I made a pom pom for this sweet mitten

Plus, cute polkadot bias tape to peg the mittens

Here is the nanaCompany felt mitten pattern

I'm in the process of making Christmas stars

Also, inspired by nanaCompany!

Last year, I made this needle book using the sweetest fabric. . .

Before next Christmas I want to make Tall Tall Trees

Amy has just released the pattern

Available in her Etsy shop

I also want to make this Advent Calendar

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas

Enjoy time with your family and friends
