No Sewing Continues..

Powers still out.

As of yesterday in my 300+ home development we were the only street without power

As of 5pm last night only one street now has power (it still isn't us! boooo!)

Who knows when its coming back..

Anyway, I received this fabulous package Saturday in the middle of the snow and came home to it on Sunday after being stuck out Saturday night.

All the way from Australia!

Thank you Michelle!

look at all that fabulousness!

SQUEAL!!!!

I have been WANTING (to make, to own) one of these since seeing it here and here

She totally spoiled me.

Now to wait for power so I can start getting some sewing done!!

Sunday Sewing

Well this weekend was dedicated to swaps.

First up, I finished up my scrap swap package and will be sending it out today.

Next, I worked on my wall hanging for the SewHappyGeek wall hanging/table runner swap.
Which by the way, I love! My partner totally has the same color schemes that I like so I had a bunch to work with which was great!

Love in the Mist block

I think i've fallen in love with hand stitching.. i love the look of it!

Lastly, I almost finished my Christmas table runner, just need to finish up the binding.
Pretty successful weekend, though I only worked on the "easy" projects that were designed and cut and just needed some TLC.
What that means is now the hard(er) projects are left that I need to finish for Christmas presents.

Have a fabulous Monday everyone!
:)

W.I.P. Wednesday #8

Wednesday's are rolling around way too fast..

Lately there's been a whole lotta "cutting things up" and not much "sewing them back together!" haha

Works in Progress -

1. Christmas Table Runner - Design determined. Stalking Done. Pieces starting to get cut.

I'm cutting up some "Figgy Pudding" that i've had in my stash

Just a better look at some of the fabric.. 

pattern picked out, we'll see how the rest of this week pans out for some piecing!

2. SewHappy Geek - Wall Hanging/Table Runner Swap - ZILCH done.

3. Surprise Quilt - SLLOWWWWLLYYYY starting to assemble. I was able to print on fabric this weekend (a total first) that went well until my printer decided to eat my fabric it was tired and didn't want to print anymore.

4. Which Witch - So, since I'm not a lover of Halloween I started the elf one instead :)

Not appliquéd yet, but pieces are cut!!

Hopefully appliqué this weekend, need to get some red thread..

Finished Projects

1. Scrappy Swap - 

I made this pouch for my partner and I'm still tweaking what scraps to send out, but this one is just about done!

New Projects:

1. I started working on something this week but I'm not quite sure how it'll turn out, I'll show you pictures once I'm finished with it.. I'm thinking of maybe selling them for the holidays, but I'm not really sure as that wasn't the purpose of starting this blog and I'm not totally sure thats the route I want it to take.. we'll see - stay posted and I'll let you all be the deciders!

On Hold-
1. Spanish Tiles
2. Swoon
