    Default What was I thinking?

    .My sister called me about a month ago and asked if I had a pattern for the box pouches I made for stocking stuffers last year. She is a figure skating coach and wanted to make some for her skaters for Christmas. Well I know my sister and it was inevitable that a week before Christmas I would get a panicked call asking for help. So doofus here offered to make them. Only then did I ask how many.......28!!! Spent a couple of weeks unsuccessfully looking for figure skating fabric as per her request. In the end she agreed that as long as it was something sparkly it would be ok. These are fun to make when you need a couple but this was a royal pain. Finally done and can move on to my own projects.

    Cattitude... ok, i’ll say it even if you dont hear it elsewhere... thank you! Wow, you have gone over and above on this project! What a big heart you have - and you must love your sister very much! At times like this i tend to rethink my lifelong regret over never having a sister - lol! Not really, i would love one - there are some things ya just cant do with your brother 😊

    Great efforts to save your sister from the last minute gift panic. Those are perfect for the skaters.

    Let me guess--she is the baby and you're the firstborn? You have done such a good job--I'd say borderline heroic. LOL I'm just curious why she didn't pick out the fabric herself?

    You are the wonderful sister and I nominate you for Sister of the Year! (I would have done it too, knowing what would happen if I didn't. My daughters have a tendency to ask how long would it take to make.... and it's usually because they are going to wait until the lat minute.)
