November brings some of the bluest skies, pretty leaves on the ground, and this year, acorns! So many acorns. 

I have two offerings for you this month. 

Please email me if you are interested or just have a question.

~November at the Little Blue Cabin~

It is almost time to cut down the Christmas tree. The blue cabin has had its first dusting of snow and it is feeling like the holidays  There is a chill in the air, while the crescent moon hangs in the sky.  Little kitty waits on the stoop for someone to let her in.  She is ready to curl up by the fire inside after an evening of chasing small night creatures around the garden. 

So many little details in this piece. It is entirely hand sewn and primitively made using early bits and pieces of old textiles to make something new and pretty.  

If your visiting for the first time, I have been creating these kinds of pieces for as long as I can remember.  I call them cloth paintings.  Because of the age of the fabric, some places are a little tattered.  I find that charming but wanted to make sure that you noticed.

Behind the fence, on one side there are peeks of a winter garden. While a big old oak tree grows next to the cabin on the other.  

There are a few of its leaves at the bottom, and acorns are scattered around the top.

There is even a little wreath on the door made from the stem of a real oak leaf!

This piece was made with lots of love and little stitches.  It is backed by vintage blue checked flannel that has been meticulously removed from the back of an old quilt.  There is a sleave so that you may hang this with a dowel if you choose.

It is larger than most of my pieces, 14" wide x 12" long. 

All of these types of pieces are made one of a kind. Thank you always.

SOLD ~ Thank you!
