Let's see if I can remember what I read with my slow mush brain as I'm waiting for the coffee to start kicking in and the stiffness leaves my hands. I am planning to put my Secret Pal gift under the "tree" if that is okay with my partner. With all that is happening since my 3 mth. DGD passed away, there won't be much Holiday cheer going on with the family.
Luv what a cute snowman!!! He is such Jolly looking fellow!
Jaba your house looks so festive ... Hubby did a great job.
Quilty Louise when I made a pincushion I was desperate. I didn't have any poly-fil or anything so as I was sitting at the sewing machine my eye was drawn to my bowl of clippings of threads, trimmings of blocks and small bits of batting. Sooooo I "upcycled" them into the cushion. I got a nice "tight" fill and I was able to keep the square shape. LOL...anything that saves me a couple of pennies.
Knitette I think receiving items that tell of your area is a wonderful idea. I know for myself I LOVE those kinds of things. I collect postcards, photographs, maps, local guides, pamphlets, candles, leaves, bits of rocks, etc. anything that come from the area. I like seeing things like local patterns, bottons, ribbons, scraps, yarns, charms, laces, etc. that I could add to "crazy" quilt blocks. I have think I would love to these kinds of things to make a "world" crazy quilt lap quilt. Humm that gives me an idea. LOL.
Brenda Jester is cute in his little sweater.
Well I know there was more that I wanted to share but the coffee is a bit slow this morning. So I'm going to try more human.
Toodles,
Tricia
