Hello 2010!!!

Happy New Year......2010!!

Last year 2009 ended on a high-note for me!!
---- Completed home dec project (2 rooms); used decorative stitching as a finish to roman shades
---- Finished draperies & accent pillows for my hubby's 'Man Cave'

---- Gave away excess fabric that I've had for over 2 years. Found a wonderful program in Washington DC teaching youth basic sewing and design skills.
---- Found extra fabric to add volume to our living room draperies. (Background: original purchase made 3 years ago. Sourcing tip: if it is a chain, try the other locations before giving in!!)
---- Made a fabulous cocktail dress using Simplicity #
---- Finished 1 pair of jammy pants for my little soon to be big fellas (McCalls #)
---- Made fabulous Vogue # men's vest 'blind' (Background: ended up being too small for my dear hubby. Lesson learned-----ALWAYS measure your subject against the PATTERN.)
---- Used leftover 'scraps' for my 2009 Holiday ornament

Looking forward to 2010.....

---- make vest and pants to fit dear hubby :^)
---- finish altering dining room draperies
---- finish reorganizing sewing room
---- complete all cut and un-assembled projects (current count---9)
---- coordinate/host a community service sewing project
---- maintain monthly blog posting!!

I pray your holidays were filled with great joy and happiness. May your 2010 bring God's blessings and peace to you and your families.
