Autumn the Redd dawg

Put the dang camera away, I will not open my eyes, I will NOT!
the cats laughing in the background!


Mom put these tupid antlers on me!

Matts big doe!



He was glad to get this one! After hunting became the main life focus, he was successful. Way to go Matt!

Christmas Stockings!

The stockings below are old sweaters that have been washed in hot water, then dried in a hot dryer. By doing this most felted pretty well. Then stitched them together by hand and machine sewed the fold over. Then hand sewed ornamental buttons for decoration.



These two are for Walter and myself.


These two are for Susan and Matthew


From left to right, these stockings are for Eli, Melissa and Ben!

Christmas Pine Cone Wreathes



These are fun to make but hard on the hands! One thing I don't do but should is bake these fresh fallen pine cones in a slow oven on paper for a little while to melt the sap off of them. But a little vegetable oil does the trick as far as cleaning my hands.
One wreath for my daughter the other for my daughter in law.
