Party but no quilting

Still not a lot of quilty business going on here but there has been plenty of Christmas activities to keep me busy. I realize I have OCD, Obsessive Christmas Disorder. I LOVE all things Christmas! With that being said, my daughter and I hosted our first cookie exchange party.  I am happy to say that this will be an annual event. This party was way more fun than I ever thought it could be.  I went bonkers with decorating, game planning, and just making sure that the little ladies would have a fun filled evening. The excitement in my little one's face was absolutely priceless.  Next year it will definitely be bigger and better. Well I will leave you guys with a few pics and wish you the very merriest of Christmas.

nothing going on here

WOW, time has really flown by. I can't believe that so many months have passed and I haven't blogged anything.  Well you can see by the lack of pictures that that purse did not get punched out like I thought it would. That thing was a real booger! However, I will not be defeated! I will complete that damn thing, lol! I have had a few other sewing mishaps but they were really too horrid to share. On the quilting front, I have some exciting news to share. Next week my quilt studio is suppose to arrive and hubby will begin getting it ready for me. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. We have been looking for months and finally decided on one from Classic Buildings. I could not find an actual picture of what mine will look like but I found one that is sort of close.

 

I finally get to have a space of my own where I can just be lost and do whatever. Hopefull I will have some projects soon that I can share.  Miracles and blessing!

 

A little progress

My projects are progressing along but I've had a few road bumps. First I could not find the hardware for my purses. After 3 trips to Hancock Fabrics and Joanne's, I improvised. The bag called for a 10mm magnetic snap and I have yet to find one, who knew they were so hard to find. However, I did not mind going to the stores, I had an actual emergency LOL.  I did complete the shirt, yeah!  I just have to finish the hem, but it's actually something I can wear in public!  Here is a preview and hopefully I will have finished pics of the purses soon.  Happy quilting and sewing!
