It was suggested to me to frame Snowman Photobooth - I knew I had the perfect paint for the frame. Next winter this can see the light of day!
I finished this pillow in my frenzy two weeks ago. It has been sent out and I thought I would go ahead and show it.
It was a beast to finish! Started out I wanted a ruffle. Make the ruffle and put it on only to mess up the stitched linen. I had forgotten to use interfacing on the stitching. Tear it off. Put on the interfacing. Start again this time without the ruffle. Put the border on the sides - wrong. Try again - got it! Then the other two sides and wowsers it is the beginnings of a pillow! Search through my buttons and come up with 4 matching ones - miracle of all miracles. This turned out better than I had first envisioned.
DH is picking up Penso's Pizza for dinner. We have more than enough leftovers to eat - but am I going to complain about not heating them up? Nope.
Hard to believe the weekend is quickly wrapping up. Where does the time go? That means tomorrow is Monday - I've got to get groceries - anyone want to volunteer for that job. I'll pay for them but hate shopping and putting them away.
TTFN -

Your work is great, I hate packing the shopping away, it's just the worst thing to do after the supermarket fight.
Great finsihes, love them all! Especially the Friend pillow with those cute buttons. I wish someday I'll be able to make such a finsih too! ^^

I'll do the grocery shopping for you, but you'll have to find someone else to put them away I hate that part.
