this years holiday season left me feeling uninspired to do the crafty/sewing insanity that I normally try to take on.
instead, I attacked 3 projects:
1. cookie jars - jars filling with all the dry ingredients and an instruction card on how to make yummy holiday cookies. I made a dozen of these and gave them to my co-workers. In the end each jar cost me approximately $2.50 - $1 for each jar and about $1.50 for ingredients.
2. peppermint bark - white chocolate melted with peppermint extract and crushed candy canes. I can't even begin to describe the awesomeness of this stuff.
3. a beautiful dress for my sister. She has always struggled with her weight (unlike me, who is suprisingly comfortable with my size), and she has never dressed herself well as a result. As she gets older I see her getting better about it, but I've always felt bad and never understood. So, I made her a beautiful dress that will make her look gorgeous, slim in the middle, and curvaceous no matter what her size is. I'm totally excited and can't wait for her to put it on. too bad i'm many hundreds of miles away and won't get to experience it first hand.
now, I head into my heavy sewing season. With a minimum of 5 outfits already laid out, designed, fabric purchase, and planned - all to be finished before Estrella War on February 14th.
WISH ME LUCK!
