hopefully something rhetorical

The good news is that I was actually able to cross something off my crafty to-do list.  I made the other pillow for the man room.  It looks just like this one does, so I won’t post pictures of it.

But I was a little more confident with this one, which is good because I am about to make another pillow sham, one I won’t be keeping, this weekend.  And, that will be another thing to cross off my to-do list.

The bad news is that I have just added all the Christmas gifts to my list.  I can’t even explain how excited I am about all the goodies I am going to make, but I am a little daunted.  I have a feeling that if I can do this, then I could easily do a small craft fair booth (yes, we have that many people in our family)!  I am also hoping this will help us give gifts that mean more and cost less.  A great combination overall!  The boy has already offered his cutting services.  He is great at cutting out fabric for things like rag quilts.

There are also a few things I added for myself on the list.  Last Spring, I posted about these.

And, I still gaze at them fondly from time to time.  They were made with Basic Grey paper from the Urban Couture line.  And, then last week, on my new favorite online fabric store site, I found this!

They are turning this line of scrapbook paper into fabric!!!  This is a huge deal to the BGF and me because we have always said that fabric needs to look more like scrapbook paper, and now it does!  But, what that means is that I think I need new curtains in the studio now.  I got a couple of charm packs (man those things are awesome and affordable), and I am going to do something cute and simple with fun accents for my studio. I am thinking tab tops with each tab a different fabric with some cute squares at the bottom.  Nothing too matchy-matchy of course.  Just similar enough to echo what’s going on on the other wall.

I will post them as soon as I can!  As, that will likely be one of the only things before Christmas that I can share.  Well, that isn’t entirely true.  I am sure that there will be some sneak peaks!  But, the big reveal of all the Christmas goodies will be after the holidays!
