February is coming in like a lion....

Oh boy!  We're getting lots and lots of snow, 35 mph winds, and sleet.  Not fun!  I wish my husband's company closed for the night like so many other companies are, but that is not going to happen.  Its not a full blown blizzard....yet.  Hope it doesn't come to that by tomorrow morning.  Sigh.........

I've been busy in my Cozy Cottage designing all kinds of goodies for my Etsy shop.  Here are a few of my creations:

This is my Valentine's Day Debbie Mumm Four Hearts quilted wallhanging:




These are my Spring and Summer Flower Gardening placemats:



Here is a couple close-ups of the placemats:



I just love the fabric that I used for the backing:


I also designed a couple spring time/Easter door knob hangers.  When I first opened my Etsy shop, I didn't think door knob hangers would be a big seller.  Boy was I wrong.  I sold all of them but one.  Here are the latest ones:



That is my Victorian Springtime Pansies door knob hanger.  I really like the ribbon flower in the corner.   This next one is my Basketful of Pansies door knob hanger.  The ribbon flower I used on this one really looks like a pansy. 




I also made a Valentine's Day Country Hearts quilted wallanging:






I really like that backing fabric (last picture).  It really suits the wallhanging.

I've got some other goodies coming for Easter, spring, summer, Fourth of July, etc.  I need to spend a good few hours and straigten up my studio before I can resume designing. I just can't be creative surrounded by a mess.  I would never make it as a hoarder.   Speaking of hoarding, I have a story, but that is for another time...
