Mail Call - 12/14/11

Looky what I got in the mail yesterday!!

KatieM. sent me some thread bits and pieces -

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH My Precious - ;))

They are SO PRETTY -

And SO SHINY -

BEAUTIFUL!!

Almost made me want to stop and make a Thread Bowl right then and there -

Almost -

But I was a good girl -

I had a chore on my list for the day - and I did my chore -

I hemmed the curtains that have been hanging in our bedroom for the past who knows how many years - the curtains that have always been too long - just kinda “puddled” on the floor - and always looking “wrong” - not pretty like they do in all the magazines - and THAT was finally getting on my nerves - SO - down they came (with the help of Grandson #1) and to the sewing room they went. Now - don’t get me wrong - I don’t mind hemming curtains - I made the curtains for every window in this house (except THOSE) - but that was a LONG time ago - and I don’t wanna do that anymore -

I want to work on Orca Bay -

But I was a good girl - and I did my chore -

And THEN I played with Orca Bay - ;))

I’m still messing with the Part 3 - HST -
But - hey - I AM making progress -
And that’s what counts, right??

Now if I could just figure out a way to make the pieces sew themselves -
That would help a BUNCH!! ;))

Especially ‘cuz Part #5 comes out tomorrow - YIKES!!

And I have some PRETTY - NEW - THREADS - to sew -


Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - SOMETHING!!
