I am going to need the Mr and Mrs Claus too. Debating on the sleigh/deer. I have last years reindeer. Can the candy cane from last year (4x4 tag candycane) still be ordered here on SL?

I "researched" the candy cane die and remember it now!
I was told if I wanted the sleigh and reindeer die, I needed to buy it online as an email was sent out to the retailers that it was sold out as well as the Santa silhouette

Nikki, I understand completely I've been there many times myself. In fact I've been really carefully about buying only what I know I will use. I had even left the nutcracker out of my basket until the very last minute; but I could see other uses for some of his parts......sounds weird put that way. I'm a mix & match type person.....even when I sewed for my girls all the time, I might use the sleeves-neckline-shirt-bodice from several different patterns.....or even design something of my own and pitch it in..,anyway you get the picture.....So I try to pick most of my dies with more than one shape or design in mind. If you decide you need some cuts from this release just PM me; I'll be glad to cut some and send them your way.  Cat |

Cat, I do that when I sew, too! My wedding dress was a sleeve from one pattern, bodice from another, train from another... I just sort of cobbled it all together. I know how to draft a pattern, but it's still easier to use the pre-made patterns!
I knew this release would go fast and wouldn't wait for me to figure out what I need. Plus, I always do a lot of gifts and crafts for the holidays, so I know I'll use it all!

Plus, I always do a lot of gifts and crafts for the holidays, so I know I'll use it all! Michelle, you would have loved my Granny! She would see something (Dress, blouse, pants, men's shirts, curtains even drapes) in a store she liked then go home pull out the brown paper and scissors and make her own patterns; it's something else she taught me to do. ( I don't think the way we did was really drafting a pattern though....Dad called it eye-balling it. She made him western shirts when he was a young man. ) Even funnier she was a quilter like you. She was great at re-covering furniture too. It's weird so many of us have so much in common. Cat |

Every week it seems I have more and more in common with you too, Michelle!! I also made my own wedding dress from 2 different patterns!! I do not know how to make my own patterns but I do know how to blend 2 together (for the most part). Cindy |

Cat, I would have love to have met your Granny! I would love to know how to recover furniture. I think about trying every now and then, but then I chicken out! Cindy, I know!!!! And our DDs as well--maybe we are twins? We need to start a quilting section here, too. I have a double wedding ring quilt that is half pieced--I'd like to finish that!
I fully intended on buying my wedding dress. But I was still in college and when I started trying on dresses in my budget, I was blown away by how cheap looking they were. And a but slutty--very low cut--that was not my style! When I was in college, I worked for a tailor and a theatre in the costume shop, so I had a lot of experience making gowns. I did everything--veil, crinoline, and all--for $300. And 21 years later, I still think it was pretty!
I haven't done much lately. All my sewing stuff is still packed away in boxes. They start hanging drywall down there tomorrow and tell me it will be done by Friday. I don't quite believe it will be done that quickly, but maybe by next weekend I can have my basement back?

Oh, wow! I was stumped, too. It's amazing how you can turn a scrap into something that looks JUST like an ornament. Very cool, mom.   |

While making cards for Basketlady Michelle's cards for soldiers that center scrap piece kept calling to me to make a card with it. This was the result. Hubby really liked how it turned out and wanted me to post it on the MB. When I posted the card he asked me if I had told y'all what the ornament was made from. I said with complete confidence "no Susan will recognized it" That's the reason I had to laugh Susan......I was so sure you had seen the ornament too! I see a pine cone too.  Maybe my creativity has been bottled up way too long!!! Either that or there's something in the water  Cat |
