TNT Thursday

This week I had so much fun trying something completely new to me.  I put together 2 virtual bees for 2012.  And it was a lot less scary then I thought it would be :)  I can not believe the response that I got from those of you who wanted to "Bee with me."  Thank you so much.  I truly wish I could have created enough groups for everyone, but alas, my sewing time just won't allow it :)  I will be the Bee Mama for the US group and my good friend Cherie took the reins for the International group :)  I can't wait for next year to get going on some blocks :)  And since every good post needs a picture, here is the button that Leah from Burgundy Buttons has made up for the group.  Isn't it just fabulous!!!  She is working on one for the other group and I can't wait to see it :)

So . . . .   What have you tried new this week????  Let's see those links :)

There's Always Next Year :)

So do you remember this beautiful fabric I bought (sometime in July) to make my three girls amazing matching Christmas Dresses??  Sadly, it is still in the same state as you see in this picture.  And there are no plans to try and frantically sew them together by Sunday.  I kept thinking I needed to work on them, and I would always find some excuse to procrastinate this scary project.  Then my daughter got some Christmas dresses handed down from her cousin and that was the final straw.  No sense in making more when she already has some.  (At least that is what I rationalized to myself :)  So back in the drawer it will go until next year.  and hey, at least Baby Jocelyn will be able to wear it more than 1 month next yer.  She is growing like a weed :)

and while I am on the note of putting things to next year . . . Let's see what other projects will become 2012 projects :)
