Holiday placemats

A rainy weekend leads to a bad photo.

I had originally started Dresden plates for these placemats, but didn't like the look of them. I also nixed the table runner because I didn't like the composition of the trees. All of the fabric has been thrifted and I'm thrilled to have finally used my Christmas stash.

Happy Thanksgiving

We don't own placemats, so paper towels had to do.

The step chair was quite sought after at my grandma's. Come to think of it, it's her table and apple pattern plates too!

I started this last January and just finally fished it out of the to-do pile last week after it started to get chilly.

Candy corn bark with oreos and pretzels. I feel sugar induced nausea just by looking at it.

70s delight

I just got finished with this little number that reminds me of something Janet Wood would wear to the Regal Beagle on a Saturday night. I ditched the dynomite collar and had to expand the width a bit since it the pattern was a bit too small for me. I really like it a lot but think it would be best suited for my sister (if she's interested).

I doubt I'll ever make it, but I couldn't resist it.
