Received Stitch Angel Package

My Stitcher's Angel from fall sent my package. It came Christmas Eve so it was like an extra present. She gave me beautiful goodies from Australia and stitched items she did for me. Thank you Michelle.

2009 Coming Soon

Sounds like a movie advert. Glad for a new year. Going to work more on projects that have been waiting.
Right now, I have finished a small knitted wool/soy purse that needs finishing. I have started a crocheted cotton tote from yarn my oldest son gave me for Christmas.
I am planning to participate in Cocoa Swapping 2, a KAL at In The Making here in Birmingham, secret pals at Quilt Guild and my own projects.
I teach a crochet group every Wed and attend a knitting group every Thur. Quilt Guild is once a month and I am going to join T.O.P.S this year, too.

Well, I think those are big enough plans, so as scripture says, if the Lord allows.

Do you have certain pictures you would like to see?

Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming!

Ok, you knew that but it was for my mom. Christmas hasn't come yet. Guess I'll keep praying. I need to put up a pic of my quilt that my brown bag partner made. It is very bright. I also didn't tell that my secret pal was revealed and gave me two movies, a gripper for my templates and rulers, and dues for 2009 in guild. What a sweetie.

Well, I just wanted to say hi. The boys are in final exams this week and I have some more parties to attend. Hubby is working hard but I am getting to see him a lot more because this is the slow season. Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season.

Out of the Haze

Wow! Getting so many projects going and done at once tends to make me a zombie. I'm coming out of my haze with only one project left to go for Christmas. Of course time is ticking away but I think I'll actually make it on time. It's for my sis and her hub so I won't tell it now.

Today was the guild party. I made key chains that were adapted from an idea here. You can see my little assembly area was filling up. I made 45 all together.

At the party I got a bead name tag, three fat quarters, one half yard, a memo pad, pencil, felted pocket, candy and crocheted star. Thank you all my guild sisters. What a haul.

Also, I finished my challenge wallhanging for guild and for a first try at something difficult it was ok but don't look too close. Rat's forgot a picture. If I get one I will post later.

I made twelve centerpieces for the party. They're small but I liked using buttons and spools. It took a lot more work than it looks like. Hope you like 'em.

I also finished 35 quilted ornaments (no piecing) and 15 bookmarks so I am worn out.

Ginger, my young kitty, was caught at princess practice. Now if she could just sew a fine seam. (nursery rhyme joke)

If you like to knit or crochet Drops Design has a pattern advent calendar up. I love that they do that. They are a great resource and have lovely yarn, too.

I am off to decorate the house (finally!) Hope your season is rolling merry.
