GETTING THERE!

Grumpy and Sophia sitting in the window of the Modista where I buy my thread and needles.
Still working in every spare moment, loving the process and excited about what's coming together. 


These headbands were made for my daughter-in-law, Winge...


who never asks me for anything and tells me she doesn't need gifts, etc when it's time for her birthday. All my kids do that!!!


So when I asked what I could make for her to bring to Texas when we visit next month, and she said she'd love a headband...



I got out some scraps, found a pattern online and made these...


This is not my usual style of sewing so please don't enlarge the pictures unless you want to see how bad I am about sewing with a pattern...


but I promised Winge I'd post them so she could pick the ones she wants.

Sophia chose this one...even if it is too big for her! :)

I'm almost finished with a couple more Jennibellie style art journals 

Sophia has her own style of wearing her headband.

and hope to get the 'hangers' on my seven door knob quilts this week - 


as well as finish embroidering on three other small quilts. I only embroider when I'm sitting still which isn't often so it's a slow process.




Later alligator!

    The headbands are wonderful. And grumpy looks awfully happy in that picture. Must have something to do with the pretty girl by his side.

    All the headbands are awesome. I bet Sophia will love them. I've added a link here to the Prayer Flag project in case you haven't heard of it. It's a cool project. Maybe some of your circles would look good on some flags? And you are one of the 13 for me too! Have a great day.

    Thanks Connie! Sophia is only allowed one but she is enjoying it! :) I haven't heard of the PF project but will send myself a note to check it out as soon as I get back from the States. One of my online buddies has made some that are totally exquisite. And yes...good thoughts coming your way!
