Holiday Mouse Not Stirring Doorknob Hanger

I'm excited to be on the Thermoweb blog today to share this sweet little doorknob hanger.

It's perfect for bedroom doors to add a little touch of Christmas to an unexpected place.

Thermoweb has all the products

to make this a super sweet and quick project.

The stitched writing is

quick and easy with my technique using StitchnSew EZ-Print Quilt Block Sheets.

It's so fun to take over the Thermoweb blog for an afternoon to show

my sweet little mouse.

The free pattern and tutorial

can be downloaded at the Thermoweb Blog.

It's almost time for a long winter's nap!

Favorite Tip

I'm participating in the

31 Day Blog Writing Challenge.

Today I am just under the wire to post here so it has to be quick.

I don't know how my writing skills will improve at the rate I'm going,

but I'll keep on trucking with the challenge.

On days there hasn't been a sewing project to blog about,

I've been using

Cheryl's prompts to keep up with the challenge.

Today's prompt: Favorite Tip

A college English teacher once told me to get it done,

get it done, get it done. Then go back and perfect it until you are happy with it.

But first, just get it done.

OK, that's more like advice, but it's the best.

I've used that little tip so many times.

Almost every day.

Skills I Wish I Had

I'm participating in the

31 Day Blog Writing Challenge.

I've managed to write on my blog for the first 8 days of 31.

(I'm including today)

On days there hasn't been a sewing project to blog about,

I've been using

Cheryl's prompts to keep up with the challenge.

Today's prompt: Skills I wish I had.

I wish I had better quilting knowledge on my long arm with both the computer and free-motion. I want to have the courage to tackle free-motion on the long arm like I do with my domestic. I wish I knew how to digitize my own designs. I wish I knew how to do the updates on my long arm too. Guess I better get on that soon.

I wish procrastination wasn't so easy. lol

I wish I was a faster stitcher, designer, and writer, then this post wouldn't have taken me an hour to write this little post.

I have a lot of stitching skill wishes. So many techniques I wish I could try and conquer. So many projects I wish I had time to do.
