Armchair Embroidering

While visiting my sis recently, she pulled out a little item she had found amongst her mother-in-law's belongings after she had passed away.

I decided to make one for myself and have found it to be very useful.

Just showing off my granddaughter, Jayden again. I love the outfits you can find for babies now! When my two kids were tiny the clothing seemed so conservative. Finally, when they were five and six years old I found some florescent colored summer tops and clam-diggers. They looked great and it was easy to spot them in a crowd!

Cozy & Fun To Make On The Loom

This blue, slightly mohaired ponshawl came together before I knew it! It has a bit of maize coloring through it and goes great with blue-jeans. The red ponshawl is a shorter style and is in autumn gem tones with a hint of sparkle. They are truly very warm. Maybe I'll try a different style this time- more fitted or something, or maybe a shawl, or a vest..........
