These phone snaps sum it all up for me...
I also went Christmas food shopping; all bought, bar the fresh veggies and the small matter of a turkey (ie. we have enough chocolate, coke, cheese and cake for a month!). We are meant to be dining with my parents, but I am stocking up just in case it snows or some other mishap keeps us 70 miles apart - have you seen the forecast? Blimey!
I haven't managed any sewing yet today but I only have one felt ornament left to make for the school presents, how I forgot 'Nanny Jean' I will never know. Then all the deadlines move forward to the big day. Phew!
Last night I put together the last of the production line purses... although I am officially addicted and may just keep on making...
This one is for Ballet Twin...
The measurements are again based on Ayumi's tute, and I have finally memorised the zip layering mantra, thanks Kat.
This one is for me...
I know, I don't need it, but since when did that matter!? The fabric is another upholstery sample, and still requires an additional detachable section of strap to be put on when I get more split rings; I am rather in love with it already.
There's still time to enter the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway if you haven't already. I have been literally overwhelmed with the number of responses so far, so please forgive that I can't reply to all the comments, otherwise there'll be no time for making - and that just wouldn't do!
Great pouches- as usual!!! Love the snaps of the Christmas play! Cherish the moments!

ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you found the time to make yourself something amid all the chaos!

ReplyDeleteHey Hadley are you in there beneath that mountain of pouches?
The kids look do look so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteAww darn it, my zip ends still aren't as good as yours! what's your secret? did you use a tutorial and do you trim like a mad woman? (yikes, that sounds really dodgy, but it made me giggle, so I'll leave it in!)
ReplyDeleteYou are managing to make me feel Chrstmassy, thank you! One more sleep then I'll be on my way home
ReplyDeleteok, since it is late and I am tired, I will just say "ditto" to what Annabella said. I must be really tired because I made a gazillion typo's in this comment and had to correct before hitting publish! Good night!
