Breathe in and out


It's here!
 
How are we feeling? 
I'm just a little stressed today. 
I am looking forward to Christmas and
 then my daughter's getting married
at the end of the month.
I'm still ignoring and
in denial
on that one. 
 
Yeah, this cupcake's face
 is how I feel today.
 
 
Let's think about Christmas -  that does calm me.
 
For Christmas presents
I want to make 4 more of these.
(Really I want to make 10, but...
I also have Zombie treasures to make!)
 
 
I've got one coin purse made
and one cut out.
 
Feeling pretty good about that.
 
Harry's teacher gift (below) is done!
I just give his teachers the same thing every year,
 I mean it's a different teacher,
right?
 
 
Maybe the teachers see them and think,
oh, I hope I'm lucky enough to get Harry in my class. lol
 
We'll find something good to put in there.
 
 
 
I've had to wait to make them
because I needed more thread, but it's here.
 
We have a great set of size 16 Finca Prescencia
threads.  These are the ones you can top stitch with. 
They are also great for embroidery and much more.
 
 
I use this thread to also
 sew the coin purse handles on. 
  
 
 Our holiday SALE ends today.
The purse frames and
 threads are on sale too! 

 
I'm off to sew and bind a quilt.
What are you working on?
