Practice

I've taken up making jewelry (like I don't have enough to do already) and here are a couple of my recent tries. Now these aren't my first attempts, those are in the redo pile.

Christmas Commitments

Here are a couple of things that I have been working on for Christmas. The first is a lap quilt for my 91 year old "adoptee" that I signed up for with our local non-profit. She asked for one so I made it in her favorite colors (pink and blue) with her favorite flowers (roses). I hope she likes it because she is one special lady.

The second is a dress that I made for my husband's Christmas party at work. It is at Gilly's and is a country/western theme (obviously). I intend to wear it with a denim jacket and my uber cool cowboy boots (that I got at Dillard's, of all places).

This is a New Look pattern and is knit. It was very fast to sew and I plan on making another one but I will make it a size smaller.

Back to the sewing room - I have more Christmas presents to complete.
