Frosty's Night Out

     Living in Denver part-time is quite fun for my husband and me. Our grandson is keeping us busy! We have new places to explore, and a new climate to adjust to. Our snow fall today has made me glad I purchased our turkey a couple of days ago! So much snow...just makes one want to stay inside where it's warm and dry....

Gingerbread birds and butter brickle

 I made these gingerbread birds this past week from an antique cookie board I purchased last year. I can't even begin to tell you how much it cost.....but I had never seen one like it, and I love making these springerle-like cookies. I have quite a few molds and love them all!

New Summer Releases

     The pattern pictured below was released last month. I didn't get a chance to post it earlier. This design was done by Barb and I love her sense of humor. The cat and birds seem to be very friendly! Corey my new dog, says we need to design one with a dog now. He's assured me, he loves birds! (Maybe for dinner.)...

The Light Upon the Lawn

Cross Stitch Patterns
The Light Upon the Lawn is our newest Loose Feathers pattern. (Second in the series) It's on its way to the printer today, and shipping out to the distributors in a weeks time.
