Santa of the Forest and Valentines day


So this week of my 2013 project list was Santa of the Forest.  It is a little blurry but you can see the sparkles  on the fabric.  Next time, I will get a better picture.

I decided to go to Tulsa on Saturday and play at the Silver Needle.  I found this beautiful green opalescent fabric from Picture this Plus. It is Crystal Jade, an opalescent fabric.   I LOVED it from the moment I saw it! This is going to make a perfect fabric for my Disney tablerunner. I still have to order the fabric..since this is a table runner, it is going to be a HUGE piece and very pricey since this fabric is $0.08 an inch....luckily, I talked to my friend Kim, over at Kim's Northwoods Discoveries, said she would stitch fabric around it and turn it into a table runner for me!  I have such fabulous friends!!!

                                       


Valentines Day was an exciting day in my household.  I woke up to Jag biting Gibbs on the neck, Gibbs yelping like a little girl.  He then wouldn't come into the bedroom because Jag was still in the doorway.  I had to get up, drag him in the room. In order for him to come in the room, he had to jump on the couch and then the bed because he was scared the cat might bite him again.  Sigh.....  When I went into the kitchen, I had these beautiful roses awaiting me, along with a GC to my favorite day spa!!!  For dinner, Mark grilled us steak and lobster tails!!!!  I have a such an awesome husband!!!!!!

Do the sparkles on Santa show up through the thread? It's kind of hard to tell, but it sure looks like it! That would be great in snowy areas!

You really do love those BAP's, don't you. That opalescent green is beautiful. Looking forward to watching all your BAP's being stitched.
