~ am loving the combination of old wood, new thread, and wool felt...

~ am watching my little one find lots of things she likes in our newest sewing book...
reading in window light
~ am very happy that after a rather dark morning, as I finish writing this -- the sun is finally shining!

Wishing you all a lovely day and to not forget about my Giveaway!  ~ Maureen

Love the applique project...I don't usually do a lot of applique but I'm working on a block of the month quilt for Christmas right now which is all appliqued and I'm really enjoying it so far.

Enjoy your day!
