Little Wallet

Are you ready for the holidays?

I’m working as fast as I can to complete some gifts and start some others.

That’s so not like me, usually if I haven’t started by July, it’s not happening.

But if it’s easy…I might tackle it.

My latest obsession is the Little Wallet.

It’s easy!

I think everyone needs to have one or two.

It’s perfect for holding all of your
punch cards,
business cards,
cash,
loyalty cards,

library cards and
gift cards!

I put all of my extra cards that I don’t need access to every day

in it. It’s quite a stack, but now they can all be together. No

more bulging of my regular wallet.

Perfect little gift for a friend, teacher or family member,
you can slip a

note inside or a gift card,
just makes it a little more special.
They are

easy to send in the mail too.

We have some Little Wallet kits & patterns in the Etsy Store.
So you can make 10 of your own.
The kit comes with the pattern, Velcro, fabric, and interfacing if needed.

Gotta go make some more!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I made Thanksgiving food assignments a little while ago.

Just checking the list.

How did I only end up with corn?

Oh, and Harry & I

are in charge of

appetizers.

In case you can't tell --

they are Pilgrim Hats.

We gave the most attractive ones

to friends,

but we're more than happy

with the ones that are left.

Thanksgiving Prep

I should be making pies right now. 

But no, I want to take pictures of my latest, greatest achievement!

Mitered Linen Dinner Napkins!!! 

I'm so in love with them.

Penny's idea here.  

 

Linen is a little tricky but it's so wonderful as a finished product. 

I bought my linen where Penny did.

Vineyard Green and Turtle Green

The border is Alexander Henry "Laurel Canyon" 2008. 

 

Bring on the gravy!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!
