After being sick at Christmas, 2 weeks tending grandkids, and working our way through Covid, I had a little time to work on projects that have been sitting on the work table for a while, starting with this one.
The pattern was originally to be finished as a pincushion, but I decided to keep it flat and attach it to a small clipboard for display. It's hard to see, but the clusters of white Colonial knots are sheep.
You'll see that I concentrated on projects that just needed a bit of finishing to be complete.
I seem to be in a bit of a sheep stage.
This penny mat measures about 10"x12".
I'd started this card kit before the holiday, but things got hectic the closer we came to Christmas, as you might imagine.
It had a lot of pre-made die cuts that made embellishing cards very easy.
I had a good time mixing and matching for card fronts. I got a total of 18 cards of varying sizes,
including a few mini-slimline cards,
and some regular slimline cards, this one embossed and filled in with metallic watercolors.
I'm working my way through the last few weeks of the year with the Project Life app.
All of these stories have been told here on the blog, but it's always good to see the year's event unfold as I see the pages come together for the family yearbook.
One more week to put together and then I can place the order for the yearbook.
