Due to having some situations to deal with in December, I didn't get my sister's Christmas present done. Well, it will have to be a New Year's present. I do love sewing and baking in the winter, well, hand-sewing anyway - working with the sewing machine usually ends up involving a lot of ripping out of stitches and/or putting in of gussets (not to mention what my nephew Michael used to call "squaring" when he was little). I'll show the end result when it's finished.

Late Present

That looks special, Sparkey. Lucky sister!
Some sumptuous looking fabrics there. Your sister is in for a treat heres wishing you all the best for the new year x
If they waited for me to 'make' their gifts no one would ever get one. ;)
I had a conversation with the Nice Young Man in the video store (since watching videos is a part of a long project like this). He said he stayed up all night before Christmas writng and illustrating a book for his nephew, and I informed him that nephews (probably neices too) were the only people who would always, always think you're cool. I know from experience.
I just picked up a couple from a friend( with more I've yet to get...) I' msuch a procrastinator at this; dunno why. Will like to see this when done :)
hmmmm....curiousity has been peeked. I think it is wonderful how creative and crafty you are!
Every present comes at the right moment.
Its nice with presents. I got whiegths so I can have larger muscles from my Freind girl. I have lost muscles on the sanitorium.
I like the Renaissance´s air of it.
i always make my gifts a surprise...easier that way!
Renaissance and New Year are words that go very well together, aren't they?
That is very intriguing! I've been known to wrap up things in progress and then take them back to finish. :)
Cláudia- Nice to see you - Heh- I hadn't heard that, good point.
Deb - That's funny, like a preview of coming attractions.
I can hardly believe I used to sew my own clothes in high school. Of course, I didn't sew all of them, mostly empire scoop necks or shifts or an occasional long sleek gown with just a couple of darts. I am the worst at sewing. I only hand sew buttons now although a friend of mine just gifted me with a beginning quilt pkg and I'm thinking about tackling that.
