Sewing Contest - Week Two

Well, here we are at week 2! Two more shirts for Banana and a new cover for my "new-to-me" chair. The old cover was really gross, so I won't torture you with the 'before' pic! Suffice to say, it was brownish in color, but originally it was {cough, cough} white. Miss T told me (LOL) I needed to make 5 receiving blankets for babies in Haiti. We'll be sending them to a woman who will send them where they are needed most. Total yardage this week: 9. YAY!!!

Share the (Teddy) Love

Miss T's daughter saw the bear I made at Christmastime with boots, scarf, and ear-hats. She liked it so much that she asked if I would make her one.

How could I refuse that sweet face and clasped hands? She brought Bear to an art lesson with her last week, where SuzyQ's daughter saw it.

Later that day, I received a phone call...(to be continued).

Sewing Contest - Week One

Sewing Mamas is having a "stash game". Rules are to sew up as many yards of fabric as you can between Feb. 1-28. You must use fabric already in your home. Which is not too hard. Especially if you're a member of Fabric-aholics Anonymous. *LOL*

Here's what I've finished so far: a long sleeve tunic, a sweater, 2 sweatshirts and a blackout curtain. Total yardage: 8. And the models, daw-lin, aren't they lovely?

Epiphany

So, we all blasted the Shrek soundtrack and 'un-decorated' the tree today. I know it's not Epiphany yet, but the tree was really starting to look a little sad. I didn't realize how bad it looked until I saw it with all the ornaments, popcorn & cranberries, and lights off of it. Poor little tree...

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas. Thank our Good God for health and for our little family. May God bless you and yours always!
