Indigo Threads and the vanilla thing..

Day two of my vanilla making...in the cupboard:)  And I gave the wrong source of my vanilla excitement...I found inspiration at Indigo Threads  !

Please forgive!

And now about the patience thing...ha...Day two and I have to wait until MONTH two....surely I can do this....  

Such a Fun Day!!!

My cool and awesome pincushion from the Jean Wells workshop this morning....It was wonderful!!  she is a great teacher.  Learned some curved piecing and some itty-bitty stuff...Lordy, do I now need to keep fabric smaller than an inch????  

 A new friend shared a bit of the ribbon holding the fabric she bought.  I put it into the backing of my new pincushion.  So much fun..filled the pincushion with provided crushed walnuts.

Guess 8 months is not quite enough time to be 100% from my July concussion.  I had to leave early to come home for a long winter's nap!!!  Big thanks to Sherry and Karen for their help!!  Tonight I put up my first batch of homemade vanilla:)

To Drink or not to Drink......

Lucky me..tomorrow I am off to a Jean Wells workshop.  She came all the way from Sisters, Oregon to work with us here in Charlotte...how exciting..I will keep you posted!!
