  6. I've been over to Sew Mamma Sew and have been dreaming about what I *might* get done before the holidays. I hope to do just a few things. That way if I get a few MORE things done, I'll be ecstatic!

    They certainly have some wonderful ideas and help with making great Christmas gifts. I'm cranking away at getting all my gifts made and it's all looking much more manageable now.

    By the way, I was inspired by your washcloth post the other day so I went out and bought the yarns to make some like yours, too.

  9. This is encouragement on a high level. I'll go straight to my room planning more homemade gifts and finish the dress I've been sewing on in a year =)
    God bless you!

  13. OH!! I just took a look at Sew Mama Sew christmas crafts, and i am already in a mood for making something. Many thanks Deb!
    What i can see of what you are showing gives me a lovely feeling right away.Beautiful fabric!! Have to check out your shop too. I hope you are doing fine and that it isn`t too windy or rainy. But i am afraid you have the same weather as here. Well, perfect for staying inside making Christmas decorations don`t you think? Happy weekend!

    I stumbled upon your terrific dishcloth pattern while looking for some new ideas for my 55 + balls of Sugar & Cream yarn....I was delighted with your pattern, decided to print it..and while I fiddled with the "print" icon, my dog happily snatched a lovely ball of Magnolia merino/silk....needless to say, I was distracted by this, and failed to notice EVERYTHING on your blog printed!! 15 pages. I'm your new best friend! Sandie

  20. Sandie, I have made that same printing mistake--only I can't even blame the dog, only myself :) Best wishes with the dishcloth making!
