I've Been Holding Out On You...

Yep, some items have arrived and I've been holding out on you.
Just got them photographed and added to the collection...
Thought maybe I should share them with you now.

 
Marsha's Birthday Boxes



These handbuilt boxes covered with festive papers and spunky ribbons come complete with candles, matches, a birthday poem.  
Everything but the cake.  
Never search those kitchen drawers for the candles again.


Rachel's "Love Remembers" Mosaic Tiles


Rachel's mosaics were such a hit last year that there 
were none left for the reception.... 
So, this year, we will unveil them AT the reception.

Remember you can shop online until Friday.  
Just check the tab above for items that are available.

Getting Things Done

You know those lists that keep growing?
Well, I'm finally getting some things done.
I open some boxes, and surprise!  
Another project waiting for me!
I get distracted easily.

 But I've finished:
A lot of snap / game bags.


 A few kitchen towels,

A couple of recycled sweater pillows, just for fun.
There are still surprises waiting for me in other boxes, so stay tuned!

Remember when...

I said I had some things to block for the show?  
Mostly, the ones off of the needles are done!

I really like how this scarf seems so airy and light, 
but will be warm and cozy and bright come winter.

Then, there's this bright, happy Clay Coyote scarf
(from a Borealis Yarns knitting clinic.)
  I'm' making headway!

I've got a few more (a-hem! - that's my "are you kidding me? A FEW?" voice in my ear)
projects to complete before the Nettie & Friends, Inc. show and sale
in December... I'm getting the sewing machine revved up and am 
burning the midnight oil. (I'm sure have enough 'material possibilities'
stacked on the dining room table for an entire quilting group.)

Thanks to every one of you who are working
on wonderful handmade items for the show and sale.
