Which type do you like?

I made a mini-pillow one more.
These are the upper part and the lower part from the same chart.

I think that it is the best to produce it with a chart quite in the same way.
However, like this pillow and Christmas ornament which it is producing, it is very fun to finish one's part liking in different form.






I made one pincushion while I used the sewing machine.
The design made it with myself in reference to an old chart book. This design is the same as this.


I changed the tire of my car into studless winter tire.
Yes, Winter is imminent.
But, this scene is like another season.


The sunflower has the image of a flower blooming in summer.
This sunflower is for green manures.

These are not harvested.
Next day these were turned over in a field.


This photograph is like spring.





A thing looking like the fresh green are young young leaves of the winter wheats.

These will wait for spring under the snow.
A swan came flying when I looked up at the sky because I heard the call of bird.

They are beautiful winter messengers.
We must enjoy autumn days running out.

January and November.

  


I finished  samplers  of January and November.
The one of November passes more than three years after I begin to make it.
I am glad to be able to finally complete it.
It is finally only a sampler of December.
I look forward to that all 12 months line up.

We took a walk through the  seashore yesterday.

Lumps of the concrete are put in the seaside near my house.
These are called pillbox or  [долговременная огневая точка].
They seemed to be made at time of World War II.
I pray for their not accomplishing a duty again.

Ornaments of October

I  finished the stitch of ornaments of October.


I extracted a part from them. Or I added a stitch.Needle Print~Free Chart
By Gone Stitches~Quaker Christmas
ByGone Stitches~Quaker VirtuesR & R REPRODUCTIONS~QUAKER SEASONS OF FRIENDSHIP
For October are these
I wrote in the previous article, that I do not have a tree to decorate them.
I thank for all of you having granted a wonderful idea to me then.
And I cut a board into a Christmas tree model and intend to hang it on the wall.
Of course it is produced by my husband.
He should receive cool beer and snacks in exchange for a tree.



Here are my WIP

We went for a walk in the forest today.

There were various mushrooms there.
However, I do not know well whether it is edible, or it is toxic.
It was really in the mushroom which I photographed, there was the thing which had the poison which deserved the fatal dose of the person in once .
We gave up collecting these mushrooms and bought a safe mushroom in a supermarket.

Small pillow 2

I finished this stitch on a small pillow.
 Fillings are buckwheat chaff like yesterday's it.

It is the outdoor bath which we visited last week here.
We must go along the poor bridge which we built over the river to go to here.



Boiling water gushes out of the hole of the ground.
There is the bathtub in the wasteland alone.




Mmm, because I did not have the courage to undress  here,  did not take an outdoor bath.

So we decided to enjoy foot bass while  took off shoes and  sitting on the edge of the hot spring, and drinking coffee.

Stuffing of the mini pillows

I completed this stitch this week..
I extracted a part of the design and finished it on a mini-pillow.
About the fillings such as cushions, I thought what was good.

Cotton, flax seed , crushed walnut shells,,,,.
I decided to use buckwheat chaff this time.
In Japan, the buckwheat chaff is cheaper markedly than flax seed and crushed walnut shells .
With quantity of the size of the normal pillow, it is approximately 5 dollars.

About a sampler producing now.

I did a stitch by two strand of floss over two threads of linen collecting at first.
I changed the one strand of floss  on the way.


Two lines of the bottom are two strand of floss .
I do not know which way is good.
However, I want to do it  so that a stitch does all by one strand of floss .
