Miranda and Gracie and other stuff

I finished up my Miranda Bag and My Gracie Bag....they are awesome!!! I also made an accessory set to go with them....... I think their first outing will be Thanksgiving week when I trek back to Pa to visit family. The accessory set is made up of 2 zippered pouches...2 wonder wallets.. a wide wonder wallet...and a check book cover......

I also found a fun thing on the net.... they're called Roly Nesters and they work like Russian Nesting Dolls... you know...those dolls that start big and you keep opening them til you get to the teeny tiny doll.... These are a set of 3 ... they have zippers and fit inside each other for storage and hold all sorts of wondrous stuff.... I think I may adapt the largest one to fit knitting needles... now that would be awesome!!

I also did up a bunch of poinsettia pins on the E machine.... the larger ones are done on organza and the smaller ones on fabric.... all of them will become either pins or package ties.... not sure... but probably mostly pins......

There's pictures of everything including Ticker on the photo site. Ticker is my sewing room guardian...along with her sister Rowdy...who was into the catnip and declined having her photo taken lol

This week starts full bore on finishing up quilting and binding and last minute goodies.... I'll be taking stuff back to PA with me so I need to get crackin! Actually I'm in really good shape.... I have a pillow and set of pillow wraps to do..... a lobster T shirt.... and the quilting and binding on two table toppers.... the mittens and snowmen......... when I get back...... I'll be working on stuff for the hubster.... trinkets for the girls at work.... and new catnip pads and toys for Ticker and Rowdy.....

Oh....and for those keeping track ( and you know who you are) Okie Dokie Duckie has updated her site.....

Next weekend those of us on DST will get an hour back!!! Outstanding!!! I can't wait! I've been waiting a long time to get that hour returned to me........ I thought when I moved to Indiana I wouldn't have to deal with the clock thing anymore.... but .... oh... we won't go into that......

Keep and eye on the counter.... the Jolly Guy will be here before you know it!!
