reclamation-fabric.jpgThis is what I refer to as “reclamation fabric”. It is the fabric that for about three years served as the curtains in the kitchen window at the “dump/slum house”. I nolonger have a kitchen window, or need for kitchen curtain. But I absolutely love this fabric and I did make these in such a way that I could easily reclaim the fabric. The prints are just two differant color runs of the same print. The tan was cut and made into a long cafe panel that ran across the top of the window. The red is just one big panel.

Do I make placemats? Do I make coasters? I could use both. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

pin cushion 2pin cushion 1This is both sides of the same pin cushion. If you know the “Dear Jane” quilt, then you should recognize this pattern as H12. I made it for Bianca for PIF, and it will be mailed (with pins included!) first week of January. So if you too would like a nifty handmade goody, it may be sewn or knitted or crocheted, then scroll down to the PIF entry and say so. I have two more openings!

TacoThis is TACO, my parents’ chihuahua. I am babysitting Taco, have been overnight. He is the sweetest and most lovable little one! I want a little chihuahua of my very own now. DH said I could have one if I saved up the $$, so I guess I better start saving.
