I'm so happy to be participating in another fun challenge, this time brought to us by Carol at Just Let Me Quilt.
Here's the list of today's participants:
JULY 24
_______________________________________________
I've missed the last several hops because we were busy moving. We've realized our dream of settling down on beautiful Cape Cod!
That's NOT a view from my house; we don't live right near the ocean. But it's a reasonable drive away, so we're happy with that!
The theme of this hop is very appropriate considering where I now live. The challenge was to create something with fish or other ocean creatures.
I wanted to make something to decorate my fireplace mantle. I stitched up a wool felt folksy fish, and some star fish to accompany it.
I might make a few more starfish to fill the display out more, but overall I'm happy with how it looks.
The fish also looks cute as a pillow on my chair:

DeleteThe fish along with the starfish and the picture on the wall, all just belong together. Such a nice setting. I have never been to Cape Cod, but can imagine how nice it must be. I have never even been to the East coast either. Enjoy your new home, I am sure it is lovely.
