Horse Stuffy at the Log Cabin

I have a 5 year old great-niece who loves nothing more than horses!
After cruising around eBay looking at sewing patterns,
I knew the horse in this Butterick pattern would be well loved!!





Isn't he sweet?

Yo-Yo Trees and Hand Knit Socks for Christmastime

One of my lastest creations is a couple of sets
of yo-yo Christmas trees, made with country fabrics and
sticks and stumps from around my property. 
A cute Christmas accent for a country home!




Another creation is this "new" Christmas family heirloom for
my kids.  I recently inherited their Grandmother's knitting box
and found several socks with unfinished mates.
What better way to showcase Grandma's lovely
handknit socks than to display them as
Christmas stockings?
The kids really love this new decoration in our home.

Log Cabin Sewing Studio's Prim Mitten Decs

Last night I created these prim mitten decorations for Christmas.
Stained with coffee and vanilla for a subtle, delicious scent and then grunged up
in the oven to make them primitive.  Stuffed with winter greens and a candy cane,
they look great hanging on the wall or on a door knob!
