Sonic- How's another day going? Coffee in abundance again?
Granny Fran - I love the doll, I have this idea in my mind of making some memory bears/dolls/stuffed animals from some of the clothes that have been handed down through all 10 cousins... but then I think about all the tiny pieces and how mad they make me, then my brain multiplies that by 5 (all the big boys come first) and I wimp out.... I know I would love it in the end, just like you though!!
Angelia - I am a red person too, and I would LOVE that quilt. I would hang it on the wall in my neutral house that Sandy's realtor would surely approve of... it needs some color!
Carrie - enjoy your 3 days off, it sounds like you most certainly plan on it!
Amy, I hope you are feeling better... I woke up feeling kind of blah again today, but not so bad that I can't function, just bad enough that I KNOW that I will NEED to go to bed early tonight.
I did set up my machine last night ;-) I finished a circle skirt for my daughter which she is twirling away in, and I adjusted the length on our (DH and I ) lanyards for our keychains and ID badges for school. They were from Disney World and they were just too long, so I shortened them up to hit right at the waist instead of banging around and drawing attention below the waist!
I had traced all my pieces for my applique project and heat and bonded them all and cut the pieces when I realized that I really need 5 pumpkins and not 4. DUH. it always helps to look at the pattern. So, right now I'm going to remedy that tracing while the sun is up and the windows available
I am also procrastinating about sewing down the actual pieces because I can't decide how to sew them down. It is all Heat N Bonded... I usually just do a straight stitch and leave a rough edge, I'd like to do more of a buttonhole zig zag around the applique but I don't trust myself to be smooth around curves and corners, and I think it will look bad.... I could hand stitch a blanket stitch with embroidery floss, but I don't think I'll ever get it done if I go with that approach!! I know what I will end up doing but I have to do test scraps and have the internal debate before I end at what I've always done anyway! LOL.
Pouring my second cup of coffee and tracing the forgotten pumpkin and the dreaded letters for the "Welcome" .... but maybe debating skipping the word and filling that space with a vine and some leaves.... or I could just ditch it entirely... hmm..... You'd think that having had this kit in my stash for seven years that I would know what I want to do with it!!
