Not too early to think of Christmas

I've started the new job and in short order discovered that there's an annual holiday crafts fair. Woohoo!

On a related note, I ordered (and just received) blank potholders, placemats and bandannas. Maybe I'll embroider the potholders in pairs — you never need just one, you know. Bandannas ... I'll figure something out. Oh, I have some muslin and iron-on interfacing — bookmarks! Maybe add a bit of beading, too.

So many projects, so little time

For a long time, the urge to create deserted me. It has returned, for which I am glad ... but as always, there is the issue of time. There simply are not enough hours in the day.

I have patterns of clothes I want to make for the girls. There are slippers I want to knit and felt. The box covers I saw on vacation, as well as the jewelry that reinspired me. There is more home decor to finish.
