Is it just me? I didn't drink but I sure feel hungover. Must have been the big dose of trying to get a lot done for Christmas and, now that the rush is over, I feel exhausted. Ugh. Did everyone have a nice holiday? Kids home from school? Enjoy them while you can. They grow fast.
I did my traditional holiday thing and worked....at work. Since my daughter is grown and doesn't live close I work the holiday so others with little ones (or family close-by) can get together with their families. It also translates to ...make something for everyone in the unit who is working, cook something extra special to share, and bake cookies for the hubby to share at home. What I did make for gifts are little scrappy birds I crocheted. Stash busters birds (I love stash busters be it yarn, wire, or fabric). Here is the picture that inspired me:
Pretty darn cute, huh? I thought so, too. Easy to make and Lucy at Attic24 has easy-to-follow instructions. They work up pretty fast...that is unless you are making 12 of them at the last minute like I did. Still, worth a go. I am thinking of making a few to keep on hand for package ornaments.
Anyway, enough of my kvetching. Here are the latest additions to the GoofingOff Sewing Pattern collection and available for sale.
