Last night we had our first little snow here in Mckinney. Big flakes fell for a couple of hours starting around 9pm and when I woke up on Monday morning, all that was left was this little dusting. I took a couple shots, since its mid-February and this could possibly be our only snowfall of the year!
Yep, that's it.
This weekend, I wanted to try
this heart potholder, from MarthaStewart.com. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to 'bias tape' and it wasn't perfect. I made two, the first one a trial run and then got the second mailed off to moma for Valentines Day. Fabric from Hobby Lobby and I used 'insul-brite' for the lining....and I think baby rick rack is just adorable on anything!
Basting layers together
Adding bias tape to the top layer
Bias tape around the heart and a zillion pins later
The inspector is checking the quality of my work...
All done - two down and these were so cute, but i'm just not great at base or at the 'V' up top. Check out these
adorable potholders too from Big A Little a..... I love these, she really makes it look easy! The next one I make, i'm totally using the scalloped stitches...so cute!
I've also been working on organizing my fabric...and my sewing room..update coming soon!
Yes we've had little but dusting here too except it's snowing now and they are saying 3 inches. The potholders are really cute.
