All was not lost afterall

My husband.  He is a good man.  He kindly entertained Punkie for a good part of the weekend.  They mucked out the barn.  He took her to watch the corn get combined.  He took her to see the calves at a local farm.  He just spent some time with her.  In turn, I had time to sew!  Not as much as I wanted to do but I did get 2 out of the 3 projects on my list done.  I had a mini solo sew-a-thon. 

Happy girl here.

Those Christmas Pixie fairies panel?  I got them all done up.  Wanna see?

Isn't it CA-UUUUUUTE???  The tote pattern is the Tahoe Tote by Pink Sand Beach Designs.  I've had the pattern forever and never did anything with it.  I walked into my LQS last week and BAM!  There was their store sample, using the pattern and the pixie fairy fabric.  Oh yes.  I needed to make one.  Bonus that the pattern was already in my pattern stash.  I have 2 more fairies to do something with.  I may make them into throw pillows. 

Happy dance!  Got a new tote for the Christmas season.  I can't wait to use it!

Come back tomorrow to see the 2nd project I got finished. 

Enjoy your day!

Christmas Pixie Fairies

I popped into my LQS on Friday, on the hunt for baby flannel.  My cousin is expecting her 2nd at the end of November (a boy) and I have a list of quick gifts I would like to make for her.  I found some of what I wanted and then I popped into their quilting fabrics room and saw a store sample that I NEEDED to make.  Thankfully I already have the pattern.

I don't want to show you what it is but it involves these cuties:

I'm itching it get started so it won't be long before I show you what they turn out to be!  I'm SURE I will have to make a few more as gifts.

Stay tuned!
