On a good day....

...i might get a good idea.
Well, I actually had THREE good ideas
when it came to Miss Corrie Dawn's Birthday.

It's about time.
I couldn't handle the pressure last year
and did nothing, as I recall.
I might have doubled Christmas for her,
I can't remember.
I bet she does. :)


Usually when choosing gifts,
I go with "what would I like to receive".

I try to make things about me, as much as possible.


I want weeks and weeks of these towels.
Lovely idea from here.
I think they're brilliant!
I never would have thought to add binding.
Corrie's only get Wed, Thurs, Fri.

She'll have to really ooohhh and aaaahhh
to get the rest of the week.


Who doesn't need new hot pads?
Please throw the old ones out!

And my favorite idea in the midnight hour...
Does she look familiar?

A Little Red Riding Hood Pin Cushion.
Got the wonderful idea for the
cool 'filled in' stitching here.

It's going to change my stitchery world.

I think I'll be making a Snow White one next.
I told you I like things to be about
ME.

  1. Yes Des, you are certifiable...the most scrumptious sister anyone can have..Sure it is all about "ME" as you stated...but your ME puts many of us to shame...Now if I only had a sister to do such a thing...I am sure Corrie Dawn as you call her, will be over the top...I would certainly be...so if she does not like any of them I will take them lol...And....anything made with our hands and heart means more than anything you can purchase without thought...'nuff said...blessings ms

  4. So is Corrie locked up somewhere so she can't see all this and will still be surprised? Ha ha.

  13. What an AWESOME gift package. I'd say you totally made up for last year. And I love the idea of having towels only for W/Th/F - those are pretty much the only days I do housework anyway! ;-)
