Selvedge Queen: Happy Holiday Eve!

Happy Holidays to all and to all a great night and hope all projects have come to an end! I finished all I started and then some at 8:45 PM. An early night compared to other years! I made a Grinch vest out of a recycled flying cupids vest I made 10 years ago because I never wore it, ugly as anything you can imagine. I made this as President of Material Girls Quilt Guild of Central Mass for our Grinch party! Everyone entered the spirit of the Grinch who learns the real meaning of Christmas. One, not found in packages, presents but in your heart! it was a great times!

Have you been sewing.......

Twas the night before Christmas and all thrue the sewing room
Not a rodent was stirring, not under the vacant moon
I, in my fuzzy leopard PJ's with thread all attached
wondered, did I finish, is it done, does it match???
When, what does my wandering mind focus on?
I am done, have I finished, please, tell me husband Don?
The 8 stockings, 18 pillowcases, to wrap presents for us and our guild
the 2 ties for Nolan, I am finished until
he asks for another, Aliens, the theme
and I think, can I make it without making a scene?
I do, then the American doll dresses, 3, that to buy cost so much
I decide, how!, can they cost so much?
Until I spend a morning, mourning my time
that it took me to create them, I hear the bells chime!
So I embroidered 4 bags, 12 monogrammed shirts for all ages,
my husband, the Don, wrapped presents for all and now these pages
are about what is done, finished, completed did I complete?
the 2 stockings for grandson Mason and grand god niece Katelyn? I'm beat!
the 18 pillowcases to wrap all the presents I made
I want the holidays to be merry and there's still another day!
but the best things I created are 6 awesome Dragons
for 5 and 1.50 grandchildren, I love and well I just love Dragons!
I created a Christening dress out of my sisters 40 year old wedding one
and lo and behold a new Princess has begun
I made 2 bags for folding concert tables for a friend
in the middle of a crisis of how to finish all and then
another friend asked for me to decapitate a dog,
off a holiday stocking, and replace it by by decapitating a stuffed Snoopy, and attaching his head to the stocking, and to my Blog
I must finish, but I used the decapitated head of the dog
for my Grinch deconstructed vest, as his dog Maxxxx, I remade it and I lite up the room
as good cheer and fun times and the spirit of holidays, Boom!!
I realized that Christmas is a wonderful time to get rid of fabric from my fabric room
Sew merry holiday to all
New Years, be great, for all and have a ball!

I will just be sleeping!
love ya! Jessica

ps: as I write my almost 1 year old grand son is running!
and his cousin, whatever she/he is is coming.......I made grandson Mason be a model b for God niece Katelyn's Christening dress out of sister 49 year old wedding dress! Then I I made 2 bags that created self wrap so, use all your fabric and wrap! No paper, please.....
