My other project from the weekend is completed and off in the mail to my dear friend. I am not so patiently waiting for something she just showed a sneak peak to arrive.
Here is a sneak peak of hers:
++++
We had an ice storm over the weekend and spent Sunday Morning watching the ice slide off our steel roof. It has grooves every 18 inches and it slid off, the wind caught it, it floated for a bit and then crashed:

This morning we watch a bald eagle hunt, and catch a duck in the water. He then brought it back to one of those trees you can see in the photos above right next to our house. The eagle proceed to completely pluck all the feathers from the duck and eat the whole thing right there in front of us!!
After that, two trumpeter swans flew by!
I love living here!

I'm sure no one I sew gifts for will make it this far into the post, so I will show a few things:
Headbands for two little girls using this tutorial and Holiday Happy fabric by Happy Zombie for Lecien.
A blanket with pastel minkee on one side, polar fleece on the other and a satin binding in a nice large size.
A 12 inch ball made using a pattern in Seams to Me by Anna Maria Horner.
Some Itty Bitty Baby Shoes from this tutorial /1
Another Snap Happy bag.
And a simple camera strap cover tutorial from here.

Wow, looks intriguing as does the sneak peak over at V's blog! LOVE the pics of the sheet ice! Looks dangerous from my side of the pond! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week Mary!
Interesting ice. I'd never have thought it'd slide off like that. What choice does it have though.
Love the duck story... we saw a peragrine falcon eat a mouse on our fence post one day. We get glimpses of real life every once in a while.

That ice looks SCARY!
You're sure busy!! That ice looks like glass, scary and beautiful at the same time!
So many fun projects! And the ice...I can't even imagine...I've never been in an ice storm!
Love the projects you completed as gifts! Enjoy your day Thursday!
You've been busy!!! I think I know what project one is, but I will keep it to myself.
Goodness gracious, you have been busy! Your projects are lovely! I especially love the minky blanket!
Wow, you've been pretty productive! I love that sneak peak! It looks so cold there ... it's getting really warm over here.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
You have been very busy sewing. Some great gifts.
OOO!! that ice looks treacherous!
Hello~I follow your blog and love all of your projects! I, too, am sewing many gifts this year. I also love your photography and especially the eagle story! Many moons ago, I took swimming lessons at Lake Pulaski. I now live in Illinois, but I miss Minnesota terribly! Happy Holiday sewing!
Oh my! I don't think I could have watched the eagle eat the duck! But, I love the shots of the ice sliding off your roof. How interesting! You have been busy...your gifts are wonderful...great fabric choices and cute items!!
I love your projects! The ball is so cute!
