I put up the sewing machine for about a week but now I'm ready for my next project. I'll be starting on a stocking for Christmas. I'll probably start on that tomorrow and begin with embroidering in the name at the top. I'll post some pictures of it as I progress.
These last few days, I've gone back to one of my favorite things to do and that is drawing with charcoal pencils. I made a few ATC cards for trade and plan on doing some more. When I work with charcoal, I've generally been doing faces so, I thought I would branch out a little. I'm starting on a dog one now.
Here are my completed ones so far:

I also worked a little bit on the Santa doll. When I last blogged about it, I mentioned that I felt I was missing something so, I had my daughter look at it. She noticed the problem right away. He needed white trim around the bottom of his shirt. I also added a traditional black belt in place of the gold cord I had previously. That did the trick and now he looks like the Santa I was trying to achieve. It's amazing how small trim pieces can make such a difference in a project.
Happy Crafting - see you soon!
