Needles and a Pen bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

rudolph mug rug

Rudolph is complete with a little red polka dot binding!  (I need to find more of this fabric–it’s perfect for Christmas!!)

This mug rug is off to its new owner today along with some goodies.

april - these are ADORABLE!!!! I don’t think i could do rudolph so well….well, mine would probably end up looking more like a cow. But i think i might steal the idea of a mug rug for stocking stuffers 🙂 so CUTE!

Christie, Describe Happy - Oh my this is adorable! This is free motion stitching? Too cool! Gives me some inspiration to give it a go and see what happens! I really like how the binding and nose match. Cleaver!

Christie, Describe Happy - Did I really just write “cleaver?” Ugg! Friday’s!! I mean… “clever!”

Little Bluebell (Adrianne) - Rudolph is ADORABLE!!!
