Crafty Saturday

About a year ago I bought this pattern that I THOUGHT was to make a vest out of a sweatshirt.  WRONG. This afternoon I sit down to make my vest and I realized my error. 

I promptly decide I can do this just off my head and this tacky thing is the result.  I can see myself making another for my granddaughter but I doubt if it will happen for me again.

Remember the pattern? I may use it next time.

Shut in Sunday

For 4 days now I have not left my house. First we had storm Cean? Now we are getting bits of Dion and personally I am loving it. As you can see I am toasty with dogs, bkankies and socks so there is no chance I will need to add sleeves to my wardrobe anytime soon. 

Thanksgiving was great. The kids and I hiked Kings Bluff Falls and chilled the rest of the time before they left Sunday. I missed them before they left the driveway.  Maybe 2015 will see me back in Texas where my butt belongs.

I have been busy sewing for the angel tree. I found a 3 yr old wanting a quilt so I have made 3 dresses and bought puzzles to put with it. I also found a 21 month old requesting a blue blanket so this is where counting bears quilt will go along with a few other add on. I have had so much fun doing this I can see doing this again next year as well.

I am off to make more cinnamon rolls for D H as he looses them and they make the house smell good too.
