Well done to you all.<br /><br />This year I bit the bullet and we bought me a new sewing machine that does not only sewing but quilting and embroidery. I am almost finished a table runner that I am currently hand sewing the edges on and I have started embroidery lessons making this into a cushion for DD8 and now I have started a Christmas wall hanging. Once finished I will take some photos.<br /><br />I decided to have lessons as this machine is fully technical and also for the social aspect of things. I go 2 mornings a week and really look forward to learning what I can do.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing all these amazing crafts with us Annabel <br /><br />Take Care<br />Aly xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-45967600826498992702018-11-22T02:04:55.954-08:002018-11-22T02:04:55.954-08:00Thankyou lovely ladies for your kind and loving wo...Thankyou lovely ladies for your kind and loving words.

We set up a craft/bake sale table (which hadn't been done before) at our annual Parish Ham Supper, and it was quite successful! We didn't sell absolutely everything, but only a couple of items came back home with me...just enough to be able to use some for Christmas gifts for my family. :) The items that were nicely presented and clearly labeled sold MUCH better than the items that weren't. I was thinking about Rebecca and Alison and their comments about nice packaging!! The owl mitts sold before any supper customers even showed up...one of the other helpers wanted them for his wife, who is an owl lover...I didn't even have a price tag on them, yet! :) The sale was a last minute decision, but for just a few hours' labour over the last couple of weeks and supplies we already had on hand, we added quite a bit to the profit of the dinner, and had fun, to boot. Now there's talk of getting together and prepping all year, so I think a craft group may evolve!!! <br /><br />I am really looking forward to being held accountable by the Bluebirders here next year. I love your idea of getting together "with" Rebecca and Alison!!!<br /><br />Thanks so much for the camaraderie, Annabel!<br /><br />Love, Jen in NSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-53150139614303808382018-11-20T14:26:59.672-08:002018-11-20T14:26:59.672-08:00Oh my word.

I am actually putting a gift together right now for a unicorn lover and what did I make her? A pillowcase! I found some unicorn themed cereal so I'm going to tie it together with a sort of "sweet dreams, unicorn" theme. Maybe add some pillow mist. Anyway, great job on the card and pillowcases. I really like the trim you added too!<br />Jen, I always, always love to see your knitting! I hope the fundraiser was a success. I don't know how it couldn't be with such beautiful things for sale. I'd be a customer! Great job getting so many things made, too.<br />Annabel, I am really looking forward to the new year too and what you have in store for us. I think this year had so many big (wonderful!) changes for a lot of us and it has been a year of adjusting to different things. I am ready to get into a "new normal" routine. I look forward to joining in with your challenges!<br />Love, KelseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
