MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Nothing but piles

 Yes, I have nothing done at the moment but am gearing up to deal with these piles of fabrics.  Somewhere in there are four pairs of pj's for the grandies and four pillowcases and four pairs of adult lounge pants, all destined for the Christmas box.  Should keep my sewing machine humming for a few days!





Sorry about the poor picture quality - it's yet another dull day here and I didn't take into account the 'busy' quilt that's in the background.  You can get the general idea anyway I think!

- THIS leads to all sorts of free crochet patterns, some of which are very cute.

- I'm going to have to remember THIS!

- Making THIS (or more than one!) would be fun for Christmas.

- If you have scraps of plaid fabric perhaps you'd like to try making some of THESE.  

Today's quote..."Sometimes you have to let go of the picture of what you thought life would be like and learn to find joy in the story you're living"

    You are inspiring me to Make Something with my boxes of fabric pieces and my Aunty Ruby's Featherweight.

    Go for it, Quinn! And that glitter glue instruction is hilarious! Get glitter, get clear glue, mix, done! My kind of teaching.

      Maybe if we both cheer her on?? Might be tempted to make some glitter glue because I have the makin's.

    Great group of links
    Your fabrics will keep you busy. This time of year always feels better when there are seeing projects to work on.

      I'll be happy to get the PJ's all done but have to wait to finish them because my stash let me down when it came to the drawstring cording. It's on the way.

      Our kids told me what the grandies are interested in so their PJ and pillowcase fabrics reflect that. Hopefully they're still 'in' to their choices by the time Christmas gets here.

      My list of makes is dwindling - soon it will be on to the baking and the preserves.

    Greetings MA: I am looking forward to seeing the PJ's the pillow cases and all the other items you will be making for the Christmas box, sadly my sewing machine is at the doctor getting cleaned and fixed.

      I had to take my machine apart and clean it this afternoon - it's amazing how much 'guzz' gets in it.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
