First, thanks to everyone who entered the Toss Up Pattern giveaway! I had quite a few good laughs over the strange gifts you all had received/given. Seriously, if you have a few moments sometime, go read through the comments.
The winner was #62, Alisa, who said
“The weirdest thing was an orange colored glass chicken shaped dish someone gave us for our wedding. It has a top and a bottom part and looked like it was straight out of the 70s.”
I’m just wondering what you would put in a glass chicken dish.
Alisa, Kirsten will send you your pattern! Have fun with it!
In other news, I finally got some progress made on Christmas. I’ve been working on a quilt for my parents for… months now, and I finally have it basted together. The irony is that I need a walking foot to quilt it, and my walking foot is wrapped beneath the Christmas tree. Do I open that present early, use it, and re-wrap it? I might do that…
I also have three little dresses to make by Christmas. I’m nearly done with the first, but I need to go get black fabric for a sash around the middle. I had the older girls’ dresses cut out before I had the baby last month, and now I find myself needing to cut into the red fabric again :) It is a good thing I way over-estimated and have extra fabric. I probably have enough to make something matching for me too! Since I have soooo much time these days. (ha ha!)
Next, I want to mention that my Monster Baby Toy has made it to the finals in the Handmade with Love competition over at Pink Chalk Studio. You can vote for your favorite tutorials here. I’d love it if you voted for me!
And finally… I found a pure white hair on my head this weekend. I was nearly blinded by it, so I pulled it out and am keeping it in my jewelry box. How come some people keep that first haircut snipping, but don’t keep their first gray/white hair? I finally feel like an adult!
Oh, such a cute dress!
ReplyDeleteDillon has a sprinkling of white hairs on his head. And his beard, we came to find out.
That dress and quilt are so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteYaaaay walking foot under the tree! And SUPER cute dresses! totally bought Zoey's this year; too much other stuff to do!
ReplyDeleteOooh, tough one on the walking foot! I guess the question is, who will be more upset, the giver that you opened early, or your parents that get half a present? ;o)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the dress making! And I voted, good luck :o)
Hey, I have a walking foot that will fit your machine that you can borrow so you don't have to tear into your gift yet. Let me know and I'll get it over to you.
ReplyDeleteI used to do that with the white/grey hairs I found on my head until I was afraid if I pulled any more I'd be bald :)
Love the red dress!
Tracy
Wahoo! I won! So excited!!
