Let's see, I have been busy on a few embroidery projects, one of which I was hoping to get done before December 1st, and I have 95% of it done. We're still opening the notes in each pocket, but I'm trying to sew december and the last embellishments on tonight. I let big sis sew on 10 of the pockets...I'll show pics in a couple days.
Here's my The Creative Type project. The prompt is to use newspaper print. I made this Christmas inspired shadow box...that's a page from the book "The Night Before Christmas," a book from the 70's I found in a thrift store in California a couple years ago. As always we have great prizes from sponsors!
Then my Category Stories, the prompt is "the Best Present Ever." I got this card for my birthday a couple weeks ago since my family knows I adore John Hughes films. I LOVE (said in a super high-pitch squeal) his films, especially 16 Candles (well, all, but this is a fave).
Go play, there's awesome prizes to be won!!
Then, I don't think I ever showed these...the first is a cool old sign not far from Matty's apartment in Chicago. In September a group of us girls stayed there for a fun 3 days weekend. I love this sign, makes me think of them and the windy city...
and this one, little sis learning to read...
and Autumn, this picture was taken last month in Philadelphia...
BTW, big sis is doing much better at school. A couple weeks ago she was having a rough time, but she has made a couple little friends, and it seems slowly breaking into the group. She's even having a sleepover this Friday night! She's doing awesome and had to give a short speech in front of her class and 2 teachers today, all in Spanish. She memorized it and her Spanish accent is fabulouso, much better than mine. Little sis started a Montessori school full time today (sob...) so I'm all alone...the first time in 2.5 years. I already miss homeschooling. What am I going to do??? Craft all day? Well then, things are a-okay...
