My list is shrinking on one end but growing on the other. I got the recipes done and now am waiting for a sturdy 3 ring binder and some plastic sleeves to put it all together. Hoping for those for Christmas, maybe from the kids. Something pretty inexpensive, easy to find, and that will totally make me happy. Perfect. Now for the next thing: what is it about me that makes me jump from one thing to another without a break? Nancy's sweatshirt is almost done. The top photo is the quilting pattern. It is self-adhesive on the edges and you place it where you want it and stitch over the lines. The photo is when all lines had been stitched. The bottom photo is after I started tearing the paper off. It leaves all these little paper scraps but they mostly come out as you cut into the sweatshirt fabric to reveal the other fabric behind. I'll finish the cutting this week, I think, and get it in the washer soon. It looks good, though, and I hope she loves it.
And I got some cool stuff off Freecycle this week that I think I can turn into cool stuff for my nieces. Will see how far I get on that. I also did start on the teacher gifts and my prototypes worked great so I will update later with photos and a how-to on those.
Go me.
You're such an inspiration, and I'm failing miserably at even putting a list together. I refuse to make it a new year's resolution. If I want to have any hope of maintaining the habit in the new year I must start now. !!!
