It's chilly out..so let's get crafty

Nothing is quite as nice (or as cozy) than new slippers..

a nice (instant!) fire..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjq_Bnw2UIE
...and making little crafty things : )
Pattern is from:
http://illgetyoumypretties.blogspot.com/2010/12/felt-donuts.html
I used the printable pattern to trace the felt...but I handstitched with a blanket stitch in the middle and around the edge of the donut.. and used a regular stitch for the icing..it was surprisingly easy! I've mastered French knots and they make great sprinkles!
I made this ornament for a friend who loves foxes...
I found the perfect pattern and guide from:

A tweet bird with holly and berries..
flower stitch for the petals and French knots for berries..

Scottie dog.. so cute! I found many scottie dog ideas on pinterest.. but I added a bell and plaid ribbon to mine. So far I've made six of these..
This was my practice piece and it turned out really good so I made it into a heart ornament.  This was just after I learned how to make the flower.
Inspiration for these snowflake hearts
(I made three but only one is pictured) is from:
