I'm alternation between "Shew, it's only Wednesday" and "GAH, It's already Wednesday!!" By this time next week, everything that is going to be mailed should have already gone out and I'll be frantically trying to finish up Christmas cards (probably?). My list is actually getting marked off, so my stress level is moderate at this point. If I can get 2 project done tonight, and stuff for the teachers either done or send in IOU's, I think I'll be at a good place. Then I just have to do one purse and 3 blankets...I can sleep after Christmas!
|
Order delivered! |
After everything is done, I think the Doctor deserves a spa day...I've been working him pretty hard!
|
The Doctor after he tried to eat some fabric last night...that was a sign for me to go to bed and give us both a break! |
|
I feel like this is me every day... |
I'm flattered that people are willing to order things for January delivery...but at this rate I think I'll never get a chance to make myself a new purse!! I have some ideas for what I'd like to make myself, but then new fabric comes in and I change my mind!
|
This combo would make an awesome purse! |
If I get a chance to catch my breath, I'll post up pictures of a (non Christmas present) purse later this week...I'm trying to remember to snap pictures as I finish, but they aren't the best since I don't have time to do a full on photo shoot! ;)
