Totes and towels on day 9

Tonight I finished up two tote bags and six kitchen towels. This project has been hanging around the dining room for months and I just never could get into it.

I used graphics from The Graphics Fairy and Citra Solv. Super easy finish and I'm going to look for more projects using this method. A picture can be found under the 31 days tab.

I may go back and add ruffles and other embellishments on the totes. I'll have to think about it and see how I like them a little later.

The weave on the towels was much looser than on the totes and you can definitely tell by how the images transferred. I like it.

Tea towels to treasure

Lookie what I got in the mail.














Bev made me these wonderful tea towels in the swap from MJF. I love them.

I have Bev's all planned out. I just need to sew them up and send them on their way.

The mailman brought me gifts

Annie contacted me earlier in the week wanting my address. She said she'd found a doo-dad and thought of me. Awe!

Today, the mailman brought my doo-dad and I love it. Thank you so much Annie!














How cute is that? It's a tiny little pincushion to be worn on the finger or thumb. Genius!

















Please ignore the wedding band that appears to be cutting my finger in half. I might have had a bit too much salt yesterday.

I might as well warn you now. This is going to be a multi-post kind of day. I've got tons to talk about.

Gift from Sue

I recently entered in Sue's 200th post giveaway and was the lucky person to have her name drawn. I visit Sue almost daily and was tickled to be the winner.


















Sue sent me an adorable little journal, a precious doll pattern, and a 2008 calendar.

As much I love all of my little gifts, I treasure knowing a sweetheart like Sue so much more. Thank you Sue!
