Holidays, Here We Come!
I finally got around to trying out my new sewing machine, the handy little powder-blue Kenmore Mini Ultra. I was having a hard time finding placemats that I liked that went with the kitchen. And I balked at paying $4 apiece for placemats (of which I wanted 8), so the irony is that I now have $6 apiece placemats after buying fabric and supplies, but oh well, I had the fun of sewing, right?
I have completed all four of the green-toned ones (see below) and need to just finish up the coordinating brown-toned ones. I was all giddy about buying bunches of fat quarters, so I have two each of four different designs. Other than a little goofiness in the bindings, they actually turned out quite nicely. So, we will be eating off of them at the upcoming Thanksgiving Feast. Placemats make much more sense than a tablecloth when you have a toddler at the table.
I am also making progress on Knitted Goodies for the Holidays, but don't want to ruin any holiday surprises, so no photos yet.
Cheers!

I want to eat off the one on the right. Although I probably won't remember it by the time the turkey comes steaming out of the oven. Shall I bring my own hot sauce?

Well, we have both Tabasco and Frank's, so unless you have a special recipe hot sauce you prefer, feel free to avail yourself of ours.
