It’s the First Friday of the month again. Where is the time going?
I took a much needed break yesterday from the packing, purging and sorting to rest and regroup. I can’t wait until the move is over and and we’re settled in our new home.
Thank goodness I was able to remain a project ahead with my FFF’s and this month’s design was completed just after we purchased our new/old home at the end of September. I knew I just wouldn’t have the time to work on the design once the packing began.
I designed this month’s FFF in anticipation of the upcoming holiday season. I hope you enjoy making A Wool Crazy Christmas as much as I did.
Because I’m crazy about pincushions, I decided to try to make one for every season of the year.
Here are some close ups of the detail.
Let your imagination run wild and…
Embellish to your heart’s content.
The sky is the limit!

Please accept my apologies for not posting more often or for not leaving comments on your blogs. By the time I get to sit down and relax in the evening, I am usually too tired to do anything but read a little before my eyes start to close.
24 more days until the movers arrive!
Happy stitching!

It is BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you, Kaaren!
Thanks for the wonderful Christmas pincushion.
I know how excited you are. We moved to a new/old house six years ago and are still wonderfully happy.

Bless your big heart Kaaren! thinking about us with allyou have on your plate! AND, you KNOW I have a "thing" for pin cushions! LOL!
Wonderful ! I never worked with wool, what a lovely start. Hugs from France.
That's too pretty to be a pincushion!! My goodness, I'd never be able to do all that detailing, I'd be working on it a month straight!! Good luck on your move, my hubby and I did it almost 4 years ago, and it's worth the work if you love your new home.
Thank you Karen.
The pin cushion is so cute! And it looks like so much fun making them...
Keep going, even though the packing and chaos can make you feel overwhelmed. There is a saying: "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going..." Remember to take a lot of tea breaks, and dream about your new house and all the adventures you are going to have in it.

Well I am not sure how but you always find ways to share your talent and we are so very fortunate to be at the receiving end of your gift. A good stitch here and there is a nice diversion from all of the cartons and visions of a move. Funny when I first came in to the pc I had Shaboom Shaboom in my mind and ta da there you were. Now that's just one good way to begin a day.
Be always in stitches
Georgeous, georgeous..... these pincushions are my favourite.... hoping to get a round robin going next year..... but maybe a practice one for Christmas???
All the best with the rest of the move - not long to go now..

Kaaren I am speechless - This is absolutely GORGEOUS. I'm going to try this one in cotton, as I'm allergic to wool - oh hon thank you so much! And Kaaren, don't even try to get around blogland right now, or reply to comments, you must be wiped out with everything you've got going on. I can't believe how generous you are to think of us when you're so darn busy!

Wow, you must be getting really excited to move. Is this your first major move? You'll love Nova Scotia, I live in New Brunswick. In fact, on your drive to your new house, you will pass within 5kms of my home! Looking forward to following you on your journey (figuratively speaking!)to your new home in Atlantic Canada.
