and we can breathe again...

my favorite day has to be dec 26th..the pressure is lifted off and i'm light as a feather...

and feeling light as a feather, i havn't really sewn, knitted or done anything crafty :S

while on my mini-vacation, i did finish up another oogie boogie and knitted up a cindyLou hat
awesome hat...another one is going to be made for the younger one..hahaha

and while i'm floating around...i realized that the challenge quilt for the guild is due next thursday, a saturday sampler block that following saturday....and getting back to the many projects that need to get done...

"I might just split a seam now

lf I don't die laughing first"

and here is mr. oogie boogie man...


from one of my favorite holiday movies...here's a gift for a cousin.  





ther'es a six" zipper and before i had stuffed it, a coloring book fit perfect in the pocket...but after, it's kinda hard...hahaha...i'm excited that i had enough bug fabric for the inside...his mouth is also a pocket for the crayons.
 
for the next one, i'll probably change the mouth pocket so it's longer (that way the crayons hide better), use a longer zipper for the coloring book (that way it's easier to get an 8"x10" coloring book out), and either find some more bug fabric or use some kind of "gambeling" fabric for it..
 
oh..i should try to see if it glows in the black light...

oh look....






it's december. so....23 more days?

hmph...



got a phone call for another tunsian stocking....yeah shure, i can do it...like i said last year, i've got nothing to do *bigger cackle*


so let's see...
-a pair of hooter pants for the hurricane. made it so she had something special to wear when the owl and bat visted her classroom
-beetlejuice out of halloween pantyhoes...hahaha..."sandworms. yeah, i hate 'em too"
-customized a snuggie for the ol man's friend...he's a "seahawk" fan...haha...hence the sea chicken
-made another telemark sweater, socks and a zaggity hat.  
-another mini robot to sell on etsy 
-a mini seam reaper for the profile pic of the shop

and inbetween all that..i've made some matching hats out of the yarn from my sweater, socks for my mom (which aren't the same blasted size!!! ARRRGHHH) and a orange/verigated orange/red hat for a moniter...

on my "gotta finish" list, there are 2 baby quilts and 1 pillowcase/quilt in the making, another sweater, and some socks....
