This wonderful package will be on it’s way tomorrow.
It’s been crazy around here. So much going on. Projects to do, businesses to begin, people to take care of. I did have a bit of fun with .
The Red and White theme was fun and easy. My secret swap partner was wonderfully descriptive. I put a lot of my own fun stuff in it – especially the buttons. For those of you who know me, I LOVE buttons and collect them like a mad woman (ok – I’ve stopped bidding on them on ebay, I have a college education to think about!). I made the pin cushion. It’s my first handmade pincushion (except the pin “pillow” I made in Home Ec class 20 years ago (jeez), and it was super simple. I think the key to making them is lining the fabric with super fine steel wool so pins and needles stay sharp. If I make more of these, I think I’ll invest in a hot glue gun, would make it much easier I think. I was going to make something with the fabric, but decided to continue with my gift theme for the holidays this year – giving inspiration – so the receiver will “make something”. The poodle yarn is yummy and I love how it knits up – and would make fun “hair” for a softie I think. Then there is the button star card. I used to make those left and right! The Japanese paper is sweet and fun for decoration and wrapping. I might have to go back to the store and get more so I can play with it too! I absolutely adore the . If I were to ever register for anything again, I want a set of those. They are wonderul. Have you seen the plates? or the ones? Might be an Izzy birthday present this year?
