Gingerbread Table Topper

I needed another break from working on the quilted Christmas cards, so I wandered through the craft room again.  I started sorting through one of the fabric piles on the floor, but I quickly became distracted by two canvas bags.  The first one had a cross stitch project in it that I didn't feel like tackling tonight.  The second one had another almost finished project:  a wool table topper with 16 little gingerbread men.  I purchased the kit 2-3 years ago during our annual fall trip to Grand Junction.  One of my favorite quilt stores is there, and I quickly fell in love with it.  I thought that it would be a nice, fast project.  Here it is a few years later, and the project isn't quite finished.

What's left?  I need to sew on 2 more little red bow ties, 30 little buttons, and sewing the front to the back.  The plan now is to have it finished by the end of this weekend.  These little guys are just too cute to keep in a canvas bag in the depths of the craft room...

The Turf Makes a Huge Difference

 I'm finally caught up on older posts.  I took this photo this morning, just after the front lawn had been put in.  I'm loving it.
