Trick or Treat Bags....

As promised, here are pictures of both sides of the Trick or Treat Bags. They are fun, aren't they? And not so big that your little ones will get too much sugar!?! They go together very quickly. Wished I would have embellished a bit more, but like I said yesterday, this project had ended up in the box of unfinished stuff and I was so excited to be able to actually get something done, that I skipped the embellishing phase - oh well.

It was a fun Monday! I got to meet with my fabric rep, Jane. She sells fabric for Timeless Treasures, Free Spirit, Northcott, Clothworks and In the Beginning - whew! After she's done setting out all of the new "stuff" it's a veritable fabric mountain. Later in the day, I ate a Dove chocolate...one of the one with sayings inside. Believe it or not, it actually said, "Break a bad habit today"!! I said - too late, I already bought fabric! Found some great stuff, so stay tuned as it actually trickles in until next June - even Christmas 2009 - believe it or not.

The other fun thing we did today (among others) was to replace the ironing board cover. I know, doesn't sound like all that much fun, but the old one was a bit , shall we say, gross! So, we picked out a fun 54" home dec print and whipped out a new one. Then....we made a Teflon and flannel pad to tie on the top to keep it looking nice! You'll have to stop and look at our new creation. I know....how about a picture this week? Okay.

Getting late. I got my payroll tax deposit ready for tomorrow and paid a bill or two. Hoped to play with some fabric, but maybe not? I kind of thought if I had the pieces cut out (from the leftovers of the ironing board cover!), I might be able to sneak back and take Mary Ann's "Gucci Bag" class tomorrow. I might still be able to pull it off. See you soon!
