I love accomplishing things! Finally getting around to my Christmas projects. I loved working with these charm pack and have completed two table runners. They go together quite quick once you get going. I love being back at my machine again. Also playing around with some yarn. Made some granny stars out of Vanna Choice yarn. They are a bit hokey but I love them. I'm going to string them together to make a bunting and hang somewhere in my kitchen. I'm copying my sister. The colors match perfectly with my Longaberger pottery and assessories. I think Vanna must be into Longaberger.
Been very busy with my two younger daughters birthdays. We celebrated Jennie's 9th and Kristen's 4th with a Spa Party for girls. What a blast.....manicures, pedicures, facials and Sushi cupcakes.
Yes, the beginning of a new project. My sister recently visited from Florida and we spent a day craft store hopping. Such a blessing to spend time with both my mom and my sister. As different as we each are we are that much or more the same. Our adventures for this particular day was lunching at the Tea Hive in Newton and then searching for the far and few between fabric and craft stores in northern New Jersey. I was very inspired while Denise was here to start some new projects. We spent a lot of time together sewing. We are collectively making a quilt for my mother. Great fun putting our heads together to work on this very special project. More pictures on this later. I haven't visited a really good fabric store in a long time because there just are not many in New Jersey anymore. However we stumbled on the great little shop in Vernon called Bits and Pieces (i think). I picked up a charm pack to start a table runner for Christmas. This is the first charm pack I've ever bought. They are just 5" squares of coordinated fabric. Really cuts down on waste fabric and they are just so fun to flip through in the store. They really are "charms". I'm really excited about it. Hope to make several as gifts. My photos don't do the colors and patterns justice. They are all by Moda Fabrics and the pattern is from Anka's Treasures. Stay tuned for finished product. Cutting tonight!
