A Stitch in Time ~~ is the New Challenge at Shopping Our Stash

Challenge #262 at Shopping Our Stash is A Stitch in Time ~~ do you remember the rest of the old quote? I do and it's "saves nine".  Last year I bought a Dressmaker sewing machine at a yardsale but never used it, so since the challenge is to sew on your project, machine stitching , faux, hand stitching, cross stitch, whatever you would like to do on your project. Since it was my first try with the little sewing machine I only stitched around the patterned paper and looking at the pictures I think the tension needs adjusting, I also hand stitched a button on the card.

In case you think you have seen this sketch before.....you have......it's the sketch from the current Jingle Belles Rock challenge.  It is overcast here at the lake today so I decided to take the picture at the breakwall which is across the road from the lane to our cottage. The stamp is from inkadinkado and I've had it a long time.

Finished inside using a few scraps, even the snowflake is a scrap. I must remember to bring more Holiday sentiments with me it seems it is the only one I have here.
