Ellyn and I did a mini swap and she included some Halloween charms with my swap items. Instead of sticking them on a shelf for "someday", I whipped this table topper/runner up. Super simple patchwork. Nothing fancy but the top is done! Now to get it quilted... that's another story! I'll show you what I sent Ellyn as soon as she receives the package.
And this. It's just a sneak peek but what I'm working on... it's coming out fabulous! I love it and thankfully have enough fabric to make myself one too! It's my December Santa Sack swap item. I know. Jumping ahead. I have September and October done and they are ready to go into the mail. November's gifts I'm still debating but December has been started. Melissa, here's a sneak peek for ya!
And I need to share these. Those of you "80s girls" will appreciate my handiwork. Amelia's school had Crazy Hate/Crazy Hair Spirit day last Friday. Since we don't own any crazy hats, we teased and sprayed 80s Old School style. My hair prodigy. I had big hair and I mean BIG HAIR back in the day. Sigh. I miss it sometimes.
LOL!
Enjoy your day!
