A Zipper Bag

LOVE my sew days with mom ! ! !
We have such a GREAT time ! ! !

Here is a pic of my first zipper bag ! !

BUUURRRR ! ! ! The cold weather is here today.

Looks like we are going to have a white Christmas
this year ! !

Expecting 2" - 4"  of snow on Friday ! ! !

My first

Always enjoy the time I spend with mom on our sew days.
This sew day mom showed me how to make a doll.
This was an easy pattern.  At least it was for me.
Mom found the Angel Doll Pattern on Corry's blog.

Below is a pic of my first doll. 
She is the Chrisamas Gift for the
Thimbleberries Christmas Party.
Even though she didn't stay with me
very long I hope she will be
happy at her new home.

I named her Sally.

Christmas Stocking

As I was browsing thru my reader I came across
a link to Nebraska Views for Christmas Stockings
made from blue jeans on Alderwood Quilts. 
I have about 20 old pairs of jeans I need to do something with
so I thought I would try a Christmas Stocking
I already made 1 apron.

Not too bad for my first practice jean stocking.
Hopefully the next ones I make will be better.

Journal Covers

The next sew date was spent making journal covers. 
I had made two this day.

My first one was plain.

The second one I added  a pencil/cell phone pocket.

I gave them away to PK. 

She LOVED them.

It's been

Awhile since my last post.
I have been busy at work and also having sew days with my mother.

It seems like we never end up doingwhat we had planned.
I finished two table toppers. 

One for a gift exchange and work.

And one for a co-worker.

I am still working on another table topper for a co-worker. 
He might not get his by Christmas.

Manhattan Transfer - Java Jive (Brasil 1988 + 1970s blended)

The other night I went to The Performing Arts Center to see the Show-Me-Showboaters.  They are an all male barbershop group.  Every year they put on a show.  This year the show was "The Show Me Gang and the Unfair Maiden'"   The show was done in spaghetti western-style.   Very funny.  I never laughed so hard in my life.  One of the songs that they sang was the Java Jive.  I looked it up on youtube and this was as best as I could find.

Hungry ?

Had another sew day with mom. 
We finished up another apron and
worked on binding for my Patriotic Star.

The apron was made from an old pair of my sons jeans.
Here she is modeling the apron.

Since it was getting late mom asked me to stay for dinner.

Of course, I said OKAY! ! and you can try out our apron.

Here she making my dinner.

3 minutes on the timer ! !



While my dinner is cooking she makes her and her hubby's dinner.

 

Now by the time she gets their dinner ready

mine should be done and we are ready to eat.

Boy she didn't even get the apron dirty.

Dinner sure was good.
