A few people have asked if I was ever going to do a linky party for my Simplicity Skirt Sew-along I hosted a few weeks ago, so here we are!
Yep, I did. It’s been a while. Believe me, every night after I get the girls in bed I’ve thought to myself, this is the night. But days and weeks passed. Life happens. You know the drill.
But last night I actually sat down, my handmade gift list in hand. It’s long and ambitious, I’m 100% sure I won’t get to all of it. I looked through my fabric stacks. It was fun, I actually hadn’t looked at them in so long, it was fun to see what I really had.
Topping my list was a long overdue request, kind enough to be extended until Christmas. A pair of purple and blue zippy wallets. Sweet and simple. I used some precious scraps, one liberty of london purple flowery type print, the other a scrap of vintage barkcloth given to me by my friend Erica. A couple hours later, one item off to check off my list. Feels really good.
Now onto the rest, eek! Hope your last minute holiday shopping and making are fun.
No, not talking about the fact that I was second chair in our high school saxophone section. But those were some pretty hilarious memories. More like I finished re-upholstering the other chair for my dining room the other day. The second chair went together much faster that the first, guess a little practice never hurt anyone.
Quite a few people had questions on my buffet from the other chair post. It’s the dumont buffet from west elm. I got lucky and snagged it up when it was on sale and I had my coupons in hand. The perfect mix of modern and Scandinavian style, I agree.
The prints on the floating shelf are: pink triangle print by twoems and the midwest by brainstorm
Part of my cathrineholm collection (more on that later), and a lovely little yellow dansk enamel pitcher.
I’m pretty much done decorating my living room/dining room area. I had picked up a really cool glass door cabinet at an estate sale a couple months ago, just need to figure out if I’ll be painting it. Anyway, hope to give you the full tour after Christmas.
