There's so much sewing happening here, I just don't have enough pictures to show you all of it! I need a live in photographer, or maybe just a remote shutter control. The latter is probably cheaper to maintain.
In the meantime, here's some progress on my mermaid. See that little bit of red across her face? Yep, that's it. But I did manage to get the rest of the colors I was missing for this, so I can just sit down and finish her now.
And while I was shopping for the last of my colors, I decided to just buy another thread organizer and more plastic cards to wind the thread. I have one of these somewhere absolutely stuffed with thread, but cannot find it. It's extra large, so will take a bit longer to fill, but I still have a bunch of floss tucked away in baggies and drawers just waiting to be wound.
And I finally started on some holiday crafting. Half of our extended family celebrates Christmas on Thanksgiving, so it tends to sneak up on me. Hopefully this year I won't be binding and burying threads on the drive down to Connecticut.
What are your holiday crafting plans? I usually make a big list then realize I should have started months earlier!
And you have one more day to head over to Quilty Habit to vote for your favorite Orange Peel Quilt-a-Long quilt. I'm partial to mine, but there's a lot of great choices!
The husband has declared this year to be handmade free. Mostly because he's tired of seeing me stress about something, then we get a candle (or something else not equivalent) in return. I will probably still sneak a little in on him though, maybe a few grocery bags or other quick afternoon projects. :D
ReplyDeleteI love the cheeky child looking t from behind the quilt!
