18 Days

I received my swap gift from my partner is the Handmade Gift Exchange this week.  Truly happy with how beautiful these items are.  Handmade cards and gift tags.  Thank you so much Jeannie.  I hope you liked my gift as much as I have yours.  Happy Holidays.

I got some bias binding and finished up a baby change pad for my cousin. 

First binding attempt and thanks to You Tube, not too bad.

I also pulled out my great grandmother's Singer sewing machine to clean it up. I haven't tried it yet, but I hear they are great to sew jeans and thicker materials.

This week I got an order for a Hello Kitty hat. A co-worker sent me a picture from online some where and this was my creation. 

Below is the picture I was sent.

And from making the hat, I received another order for one from another girl at work. Yay.  This time I get to use whatever colors I want. It's for a girl and so far I already have the base hat done in pink. 

Happy weekend all!

Holiday Progress

Another Christmas gift finished this week.  The daisy flower grannies whip up quickly.  It's not a long scarf but enough to have some flashy color on ones neck.

And from my blogoversary swap, I received a little something from the winner Joanne.  Aren't these cute.  A crocheted pouch and mandala pot pad. 

Thanks Joanne, love them.

I'm hoping to get some sewing projects done this weekend.  Only 3 and half weeks away. Boy does Christmas creep up quick. 

Happy weekend all!

Anticipation and Stress

Tis the season to be stressed out.  Work is hectic and trying to finish up gifts. Then the next thing you know it's over.  I think it's just going to be me and my honey for X-mas day.  My dad having dimentia won't really know what day it is.  And my mom is another whole ball of stress wax.  Anyway....

     I completed a project gift for an aunt.  African flowers table runner. All earth tones.

I received my swap gift from my partner in the Handmade Gift Exchange. Lovely holiday decorations. 

And to relax for the holidays, the classic drink of choice. Rum & Egg nog.  Cheers!
