As promised...

Here she is!  Little Bo Sheep's January block.  She is ready to celebrate the arrival of the new year.  This block differs a bit from my drawn pattern.  I decided to add the year to the background instead of her hat.  She also has a 'tassel' on her hat instead of the drawn pom-pom.  Here is a close-up of her hat.

The pattern is available for free for about a month (probably until December 19, 2015) on Craftsy.  Here's the link:  LITTLE BO SHEEP'S JANUARY

LITTLE BO SHEEP'S FEBRUARY

LITTLE BO SHEEP'S FEBRUARY  There you go...the link for one of the next free Little Bo Sheep blocks.  February has Bo spreading love with her heart-shaped balloon and some cute, heart flowers.  Always a good time for some heart felt wishes.  And...no....I did not forget January.  I thought I had both of them ready.  You know how that goes.  I need to make a correction to the file.  I'll probably have it ready tomorrow.

 
 
 

Christmas Fun!

OK...since the beginning of the year, I have been working on bits and pieces for a new Christmas quilt ..  And it's not your ordinary green and red.  All the pieces are not ready for any assembly yet, however, I wanted to show a little of what it will have.  Candy canes, stockings, a tree, my Annabelle bunny as well as Peek-a-Boo Mouse (although not in these photos) mittens and more.  It probably won't be ready for this Christmas.  Have a look:

Sheep..and more sheep

What do you do when you can't sleep??  Usually I play around on Facebook...but I thought I would do a blog update this time.  So...something different.

  I have been updating another room in our house.  This time it's the master bedroom.  I finally got my gold, tan, and black version of my A-Z for Ewe and Me quilt back from the quilter.  It is just a tad bit larger than the top of my bed...so a nice coverlet underneath with a new dust ruffle.  I ordered a new headboard...very simple, a bit plain, black metal.  The walls will be painted just in time for Thanksgiving.  A few new rugs and it will be pretty close to being done.

But here's what I have been working on to go with the quilt...new valances, a bit of trim on curtains I already had and a new, looong pillow for the top of the bed.

The valances with the  polka-dotted sheep and the black sheep:

The center portion of the A-Z for Ewe and Me quilt:

 

and my favorite...the 'flock' pillow:

 

The sheep and flowers are elements from the border of the quilt.

I hope you enjoyed playing around with me and the flock!

Spooky Days

Only two more days to Halloween!  Billy Bone-a-Parte is back to help with the spooky celebrations!

Thanksgiving and Christmas

Now, I'm not trying to rush the holiday season.  Really...but I have two more free blocks for my Little Bo Sheep ready at Craftsy.  Little Bo's ready for Thanksgiving with her Pilgrim hat and collar.  Check it out here. 

 

 December is right around the corner.  Little Bo is all decked out in a holiday wreath with some holly and pretty sequins.  That one is available here.

I hope you have been enjoying Little Bo Sheep's many new looks for the year. :))

** The Little Bo Sheep's November and December blocks will be available for free until November 15th.  After that date there will be a small fee. **

August and October

Those two months certainly don't have a lot in common....other than...Little Bo Sheep!  I have listed the months of August and October on Craftsy for FREE for approximately one month (October 15th).
Have another peek at August...I had previously posted a picture of this one.

Little Bo Sheep's close-up for August...

The entire August block.  No seedless watermelons here!   And look...Little Bo's all ready for trick or treating....

or maybe....you really cannot see her.. After all, she is a ghost!!
