Squeezed in some machine sewing and a craft project......

 

Are any of you signed/signing up for the Hands on Design Costume Party? I participated in her Cookie Exchange SAL last December and thought I'd sign up again. It's a mystery Halloween themed piece, very doable, and released over 5 days. Cathy pairs with other vendors for fabric, trim, finishing board and thread organizers. You can pick and choose what add-ons you want...or, as in my case, work from your stash. I made my own set of floss drops (designed by That's So Kelly); the images are included when you buy the chart from Cathy. I just spray glued them to a piece of comic board, cut them out, brushed on two coats of Modge Podge, punched holes and volia....adorable floss drops!!!

 

I also decided to pull out the old sewing machine and make a Halloween project bag. Found the fabric at JoAnn's....but I was in for some sticker shock...$16.99 a yard!!!! I wish I had had some Halloween fabric in my stash!!!
 

If you're interested in the SAL, you can find the info here: Hands on Design

On the stitching front, I got another tea cup and spoon done while watching Avatar with my granddaughter.

 Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!
