Oh, that Martha!

She trips me up all the time!
We had a "snow day" yesterday, except by daybreak there wasn't a trace of snow on the ground. It's a hard call to make here on the shoreline. If the wind shifts in the slightest or the temp rises a bit we end up with rain or nothing sometimes. The rest of the state got a good amount of snow. I am not complaining at all. I had a busy weekend at the sewing machine with a box of kleenex.

Anyway, I was looking forward to having one more day off as I was still not feeling great and I had tons of laundry left...there I was moving along quite nicely. I had a plan, I was sticking to it and it looked as if I might even get the bathroom cleaned UNTIL the mail came and delivered "Martha Stewart Living".
*thud*
I put on coffee and forget about any plans for the day.
Look at these cute things!

Of course I had to stop everything and get some of these made for Valentine's Day!

I am way too stingy with my wool felt so I used some cotton with a thick interfacing. I was thinking they will make a great 3rd grade valentine this year! Just as I had that thought, I remembered what was on my list of things to do before Martha dropped in unannounced...make a birthday gift for a 3rd grade friend! CRAP! Back to the sewing machine last night

This is "the" gift among the 3rd grade girls. They can't wait till they all have them at the lunch table. I think I have 5 or 6 girls left.
Have a lovely and productive day everyone :)
