Cold Weather = Productivity!!

So happy for the cool weather-why because I hate to drive in it (Im a scaredy cat), actually Im more scared of all the other crazy drivers in the snow..Im so slow I drive people crazy!

So that means hometime..which means I may actually get to enter the sewing cave at the end of the hall! I did. This is a patchwork runner I made out of Moda's new line "Mistletoe Manor". Everytime I make something lately I forget to sew on my tags, and I did it again on this ppatchwork holiday tote! So i added a little strip of fusible web & ironed it onto the inside pocket which is where i wanted to sew it on but forgot. It worked great!

I used a multitonal sulky browns thread that changes colors as you sew, then crazy machine stitched all over it. Hoping I can keep the stitching groove going for awhile, since I lost it for so long there! I went to the "first" holiday craft fair of the season today at the University. It was so packed & crazy peoples purses and bags kept hitting the baby in the head in the stroller! Poor guy, it was a zoo! You couldn't even get close enough to the tables to see anything! My son kept saying"lets get out of here!" I really wanted to be part of this show, but with this little guy getting into everything...just didn't happen! Oh well , there is always next year!
On my Mind:

~Christmas gifts-must make list of handmade goods to get started on for family.

~Drooling over Holiday recipes to make & freeze (ecspecially biscotti)

~New goodies to make for shop

~Get Pincushions ready to ship!!!!! So excited to show you the design that I made that was chosen to be in the new book coming out this spring, Creative Pincushions!

~Kittens are getting huge & ripping curtains

~Waiting on test results from the allergest so I can feed this baby something to eat that wont make him sick.

~Snow, hot chocolate, and good conversation(with an adult please!)LOL.....
