Well we are heading north tonight. Actually it will be tomorrow, since Ryan doesn't get off of work until 12:30 a.m. Hopefully we'll get there around 8 tomorrow morning.
I'm not sure how much blogging I'll be able to do while I'm there, because I don't like logging onto my blog from computers of those who may not know my blog exists. I don't mind if people find it, but I still try to be discrete. We're bringing our laptop which is on its last legs, so I might check in, but I at least will be checking other blogs from Ryan's iphone.
Tonight I'm packing and wrapping and looking forward to everything being done and being in the car on our way.
Sorry if you're sick of these, but here are two more aprons I finished:
This one is for my friend. I love the fabric, especially the skirt.
And this one is for my sister.
I also made a little apron for Madeleine, but you'll have to wait for Beth to post a picture of it when she gets it!
And since I don't know when I'll be posting next, I thought I'd end with our Christmas card picture from this year. It even includes the kitties which I don't think I've ever posted pictures of before! The orange one is Carmie (a boy) and the black one is Jasper (a girl). As you can see, Jasper is crazy.
Have a blessed and merry Christmas!!
Where are you finding your fabric! Does it take you forever to pick the combinations out? Or am I just slow!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute!!!
I love the front of your Christmas card. You look so THIN!!! How cute is Sophie!!!
Yes it takes me forever! I always think the employees see me coming and are like, Oh great, here she comes! I walk around the store with things of fabric piled in my arms, comparing them over and over. I used to nearly have an anxiety attack because I was embarrassed at how long I took! Now I just don't care. You should also see me when I go up to the counter to have it cut. I hem and haw and take forever there too. The fabric store I go to is awesome, and I even have a back-up store that has less options, but different stuff that is just as cute. Between those two stores I am set. Have you tried all the quilting stores in your area?
ReplyDeleteYou should definately attach metals to your stuff! I love it!! I need to post my pants for little girls that have the medals on them. They are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI got the medals online in bags. I think I received 500 for cheap.
Glad it takes you forever! You do make it look easy. I walk the store like a crazy woman as well. Sometimes I am at the store 3 and 4 days in a row because once I get the stuff home it doesn't look right.
No quilting stores in this area! I hate it! We have a calico corner and a hancock. Every other store is decorator fabric. :( We are getting a JoAnn's so hopefully that will have more selections than what we have right now. I hate it! But it isn't a super JoAnn's so we shall see.
Pack your boots and mittens! We have almost a foot of snow -- and you'll be even farther north (and west)! Have a safe trip.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteOh I cannot WAIT to see Madeleine's apron!! I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great trip and a Merry Christmas!
Enjoy your trip and being with fun family. Your family is going to love the aprons. Your Christmas card pic is cute, even with Jasper being camera shy. Your dog looks really comfy though.
ReplyDeleteoh how cute! i just LOVE THEM K!

LOVE the aprons! I'm sure you're friends and family will too! It's always so special to receive something hand-made (especially now a days!)
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your time with family and have a very Merry Christmas! I pray that this blessed season will be full of joy and hope for all of us. :)
Once again, the aprons are fabulous!!! I love your family picture too. Is that a real dog on your table? It is so cute and stuffed animal like!!! Lol.
