Today I only have some small finishes to share with you. I had hoped to have completed my writing tote yesterday but it’s still a work in progress.
I did however finish this pretty Prairie Point Star Ornament.
I had some fun in the photo editor adding frost and ice to the photo. If you look closely you can see my reflection in the gold button I sewed to the center.
The ornament is made from leftover charm squares of Season’s Greetings by Sentimental Studios for Moda. (Tutorial coming soon.)
I also finished knitting the blue dishcloth pictured below.
We are in need of new dishcloths so they have become my take along project. I knit a few rows whenever I have to sit and wait somewhere. The green one was finished earlier this summer.
The blue one only had six rows left to knit so I decided to get that done early one morning this week. Dave has some dental appointments coming up so I’ll have a chance to make a few more of these.
Three new thimble pips have also been added to my collection.
These have actually been finished for a while now but I kept forgetting to get a photo of them.
Right now they are sitting on the shelf with the rest of the thimble pips but they are destined to become gifts over the coming months.

September 13, 2015 12:38 pmI am looking forward to the tutorial for that beautiful ornament. I love the thimble pips, but I don’t use thimbles because of my wide fingers and longish nails. I have yet to find a comfortable thimble. When I quilt I use a leather thimble. I tend to go through them very quickly. I really think the pips are pretty though.

September 11, 2015 6:48 pmIt’s great to finish a project isn’t it. I don’t do that often enough I’m afraid and have ended up with too many UFO’s. Looking forward to your tutorial on making the ornie – it’s such a pretty one!

BTW – I printed off the thimble pip tutorial and gave it to a lady I quilt with. She was quite excited. It is “right up her alley”!
