I had a great time with the girls.







I worked on these among other thing that night.

This is another reason my son thinks I hate Christmas. and don't want to celebrate.........I keep singing....... Ding Dong the tree is Gone. I love the traditions like Baking cookies, Turkey, candy canes(small ones) the hole thing can fit in my mouth, and hot cocoa. ..Wow when I read that back I am a humbug. ...... Ding Dong the tree is Gone....Ya I said it !.... I love how everything is back to it's place in the house.

Feeling better...able to breath through one nostril..... able to put out this little beauty I'm still tweaking my wallet pattern I think I got it .
Bandanna in king size sucks. UFO I want done at least by July. 1 problem takes up too much room in my already cramped space for sewing cabinets.
Chewy know how I feel .....sick of being sick. Only days left until I return to work and this is what I've been doing last 2 days..... laying around ....... breathing through my mouth, Kleenex close at hand, and lots of soup trips from my mom. Yuck lots of UFOs to finish and all I hear in my head tick tock tick tock. No time crunch on anything . I just want them done before I go back to work......You know when I get something in your head.....

Yes I did it again......more screen bags these are the size great for pencils and pens. I used screen for dogs you can buy at a hardware store.
This is a gift for Kyle's Teacher. A fabric box with all the things she needs pencil, red pens, roll of tape, and cute little screen bag to keep red pen's in.
You ask why am I making her this fabulous gift?..........It was last day of school before Christmas break and I was in the store at 1:25 at lunch when I realized I didn't get His teacher anything. Uh ......I felt a weight of bricks on my heart. So here we are in January making a gift for NEW YEAR! It sounds great......I guess this just gives my son another reason to think I'm Jewish.(sorry inside joke)
This box pattern is thanks to the lovely lady at Sew ,Mamma, Sew. blog ....Check her out if you haven't she has great ideas . Thank you sew, mamma, sew.

Much better with the vac stuff all orginized. I'm a big fan of the command sticker strips with hook. Just remember to follow intructions when removing and no harm will be done to wall, paint, or door.

With some support she is looking much more purky.

So this was a great idea but she needed a little support.....like many of us. So with some extra cardboard lying around. I gave her some support in the back.
this is in my coat closet where we keep vacuum, vac parts, cat stuff and many many more stuff . What I needed was a better cat orginizer and new spot to keep all the vac parts. Thanks to my hubby we have a electronic maid named Roombe. She's great but has little tools to keep her at the optimal best. hence This weeks prodject.
