I've been busy making gifts for everyone else but am finally at a point that I can get back to making a few things for myself. I've wanted to make this candlemat since last year.. actually I've had the pattern that long too! It's for 4 seasonal mats and I want to make the other three as well. The pattern is from Country Quilts. She has such cute patterns!
Next I want to make a quilt block for my quilt frame I bought from Angela's site. I found one I like that I think will look great done in Christmas fabrics. And then I want to do a small wallhanging for my kitchen. The block I may be able to do today. The embroidery wallhanging will take longer, of course.
Not much else going on. I've been spending way too much time on Ancestry.ca filling in my family tree. The number of connections in my dad's line are crazy. The family stayed in Cornwall, England. None of the Cornish ever left home until one of my ancestors dared to cross into Devon and then his son and family came to Canada. And I wonder why I get nervous travelling.. maybe it's a genetic fingerprint or something that makes me happy to just stay in my own area.

Your candle mat is so cute. I like the little snowmen. I don't like to travel either.
Great job what kind of stitch did you do the snowman in .I can't really tell the picture is to small .
this is so adorable, love it - what a perfect hostess gift but you should probably keep it for yourself.
Nice little cutie that is for sure

I love your candle mat! I want to make some of those too, but where do you get the wool? My LQS doesnt carry it. Does Joanns carry it? Great job! :o)
