Let's do this!

I am done, done, DONE! *happy dance* On Friday I bought the last gift, finished the Birdie Sling and wrapped them up. I am ready for Christmas and to enjoy some relaxation (and maybe a cocktail or two :).

I also finished hubby's weighted blanket but it's fairly boring looking so no pictures.

Here's the 4th Birdie Sling I've made (1st one, 3rd one and I realized I don't have a pic of the 2nd one that I made last Christmas for my sister).

A not-very-good picture of the lining:

I used brown thread on the handle this time and I like it much better than the cream thread I used on my other one.

Both lining and outer fabrics are from Anna Maria Horner's Field Study collection.

I really love how this bag came out! I hope my sister-in-law will love it too.

Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you all a lovely holiday!

confession time!

Whoa! didn't mean to be so out of it here on the blog. I hate to admit that I am very unmotivated right now and I have two major projects that need to be done by Christmas!

The first one is for my husband. It's a weighted blanket. I heard about them from a friend recently who struggles with anxiety and restless leg syndrome at night. My hubby doesn't have anxiety but he has restless leg syndrome and has always loved heavy blankets. So I browsed around for a tutorial and got started about a week ago. Let's just say this sucker is a PAIN in the behind! I'm only about a third of the way done. :(


Next, I have to whip up a Birdie Sling bag for my sister-in-law. I'm just dreading all that interfacing. Maybe if I do a little at a time it won't be too bad.


What I'd rather be working on (because I'm selfish!) is this little imrpov thing I've got going.

And my Farmer's Wife quilt!

Well, I'm determined to get those gifts done so off I go. And don't remind me that Christmas is only 11 days away, eek!
