Hostess gift....

We have a great idea for you if you need a New Year's hostess gift next week. I think I mentioned either on the blog or Twitter that we were designing this wine (or "whatever") gift bag using the upholstery samples we have. It took some tweaking, but this is the final outcome. It's super simple and quick, inexpensive and would be wonderful to bring a hostess gift to your New Year's Eve celebration. I'll be writing up the directions tomorrow and have them read for you on Monday at the shop.

Today was fairly quiet at Fab-Etc. I ended up leaving the Christmas fabrics where they were. I took out the Valentine's fabric that had been living there as the rack had gotten more devoid of Christmas prints. Then, I gathered all of the Christmas books and patterns and panels and marked the whole rack at 50% off through Saturday, January 2nd, 2010 - 2010 sounds weird, doesn't it? I tried to tidy some things up a bit, but the rest will have to get done on Monday, I guess!

Well, I brought home a project to play with and I still need to put my sewing room back in order a bit since we ended up using it for our Christmas dinner area. Of course, that meant some rearranging and a few things camouflaged under a pretty quilt! So, guess I'll head down and fool around with that for a bit. But, no laundry tonight. Have a great Sunday all!!
