Just some random things on this middle-of-the-week Wednesday in this middle-of the-month November. (Yikes, that means the holidays are getting closer and closer!)
If you are looking for a great advent calendar
or if you already own one but would like a Christian-based advent "kit" of things to add to the pockets
check out this
post and then rush over to
Fairytale Pumpkin. But don't wait too long--they are flying off the shelf. Including one that is coming to live at my house.
I finally got these Block Swap 2 blocks in the mail today. Brittany had us make blocks for a Halloween quilt. Fortunately she wasn't planning on having it ready to go for
this year. At least I don't think she was! Ooops...
Brittany sent the fabric pieces for the left block and requested disappearing 9-patch. But because I have this funny witch's underwear fabric, I couldn't resist making an extra block.
Near the border it says" witches undies scarey screamy, have a happy halloweenie."
And I added a lovely chalkboard to my sewing room. I took an old way-too-ornate gold frame and sprayed it with this.
You see where it says "all-surface paint"? I thought it would cover the black velvety inner border of the frame a little bit better, but it just ended up being kind of a charcoal grey. No problem, since the walls in my awesome new sewing room are grey. It's all good.
Slapped some Valspar chalkboard paint on a piece of masonite, and ended up with this.
Oh, and those names on the board? Just a reminder to get their pincushions in the mail. Have a happy Wednesday.
