Old, old funny redwork stitchery

I purchased this redwork block at a antique store in Osage, Iowa this summer. As you can see the gal who stitched it must of had quite a sense of humor, or else she had humorous goats!

Little Dutch Girl Stitchery

I found this little Dutch girl in a bag with it stitched.

First it is sketched out on the back of a calendar. April 1959. Then copied onto a white piece of paper, then onto the fabric. I wonder what it was going to be? A quilt block? A pillow? I will put it in a frame. Nothing went to waste. I love that.

Wooden stocking re-do

I found this wooden stocking at the local thrift shop, it wasn't bad, but wanted to re-do him and glitter him up a little.

I painted it a dark blue and then painted my snowman.

Added glitter and let him dry over night. He is ready for the season!
