I love surprises!

If you know me, you know how much I love surprises, packages, presents and mail!  doesn't matter whether I'm the gift giver, reciever or just a happy onlooker... so today I'm especially excited.  A package came in the mail from my sister-in-law with a beautiful handmade card and the fronts of Christmas cards she received this year. The perfect pick me up for a dreary rainy chilly day in the lowcountry... thanks sis!  you made my day!

Spent some time today getting ready for "Sewing for Beginners"  this week...  and the Skirt Lab!  It makes my day when I see the shining faces, eyes twinkling and big smiles... sewing is supposed to be fun!  I hope you all have a little bit of peace while sewing, joy from your developing skills and sense of accomplishment at the end of a project well done!

Sew... this is my favorite jacket pattern!  because the fit is perfect for me... & it looks great dressed up or with jeans


I did manage to finish handstitching the trim last night & worked on attaching the facings to the jacket on the inside during the game... just need to machine stitch the lining together before handstitching the lining into the jacket... should be done by the end of the week... just in time for Valentine's dinner out with my honey!
Hope everyone has a pleasant evening!
