Or :: Yes, I Did Do Some Sewing Yesterday.
Here are three hot water bottle cozies. Sort of wonky. But, once filled with a hot water bottle, I think they will prove to be, well, quite cozy.
Read more about where these are going here.
I'll mail them today, Jeannine!
Here are some of the embroidery bits for Maddie's fundraiser project. I did some of them and Maddie did some of them. I will be turning them into little ornaments or hmmmm, maybe coasters?, or something fun over the weekend. I hope to have them (and a bunch more) ready to sell by Monday.
And a WIP :: A memory quilt for Ben. I've been working on it for, well, a long time. Lots of little embroidery bits - the date we met each other, our wedding date, the kid's birthdays, lots of memories - fun things and hard things that we've made it through together. All the fabric is shirts and pants of Ben's. Like the shirt he used to wear on weekends the first summer I knew him, and an old pair of carharts that he worked to pieces - all clothes with memories. My plan is to have it done for Valentine's Day . . . and that is doable. I've got 16 days!
(And if I post it here - well, that is even more incentive to get it done, so I can show off the finished project. You know how that is . . . don't you?)
