Holiday Handwork

There is something very satisfying about staying home and sitting around "doing stuff" while other people are rushing around madly because it is holiday time. Here are two of my holiday projects recently finished.

 Old skills, and new. Discovered I can still hemstitch - and basic torchon ground was fun for a lace project.

 I don't suppose I needed a new tablecloth - but it's not about need. I loved the fabric and enjoyed working with it.

Who's to know the hat was last worn by Esther at her wedding in 1986? It now has a new lease of life.  Now I need a new challenge . . .
