What?

What?
Isn't this chair called a lounger?


It doesn't have your name on it,
so I'm lounging!

Well, I said I was busy!!!

In my last post I did say I was busy, and busy I was. Trying to get things done
 for Christmas and working wore me out. I didn't do any sewing for about a month, or at least it seemed
like it.

I did make some snowmen candy bar wrappers for the women at work.
They were a big hit and I had a fantastic time making them. I believe they were designed by Laurie Furnell. You can find her here.
I used gloves for a few and then made some hats from some wool felt I had here at the house.


One of the ladies at work wants me to design a bridal candy
bar wrapper for her. I told her I'm not a designer but I
can follow directions! LOL!


I did spend today "designing" a bridal pouch for her to give
to her niece. I used some satin fabric I had leftover from
Nancy's wedding. I made about 10 1/4 inch  pleats and
then stitched them about 1 inch apart going in different directions.


Then I attached a butterfly appllique from my stash.




I then decided to use some blue satin to line the bag.






It still wasn't fancy enough for me so I added some heart
shaped beads and silver chain to the zipper.







Finally!
 Done, and if I don't say so myself, Pretty darn good too! :)

Busy.........

Ever have the feeling that you are getting nowhere? I have so much to do
and I can't seem to get anything done. And my list keeps growing. Luckily I
have two days off in a row this weekend, which doesn't happen very often.
I'm hoping I get some of the stuff done that I need done, but I'm afraid
I'll be so tired from work that I'll just rest the whole time. I need to clone myself to get some of this
stuff done! :)
