I'm making blackwork rushnyki (icon scarves) for friends at church (progress can be seen at my flickr page below), in between nursing orphan kittens and now trying to housebreak a very cute puppy with no clue about "inside" and "outside"... I don't think I'm going to finish my Christmas presents by Christmas. <G> I think some may turn into Theophany (12th Night) presents, and nameday presents, and birthday presents....

Dear list, Since the traffic has been light, and we assume people are busy, I'll kick off with, are you busy making holiday gifts? I'm making dresses for my granddaughters--I was inspired by some very expensive dresses in an upscale children's shop in Las Vegas--I can make something like that, I said. Well, the original intent was to use what was in my stash, but one of the pieces of fabric was so badly off grain (it has a printed design) that I just couldn't use it, and what I bought instead didn't match color-wise, and I didn't have enough of another; so, after my 4th trip to JoAnn's this afternoon, I'll be about done. But I do have enough trims in my stash, and some usable fabrics. The dresses have a print bodice, solid white skirt, and dark solid sleeves--one is navy blue, one red. The skirt has three rows of assorted trim in white and the color, the sleeve has another white trim around the edge, and each also has yet another trim around the neckline. The red and white one is almost done and is shaping up nicely. The navy bodice is done, but the 4th trip to JoAnn's is for skirt fabric for it. After this, I'm done sewing again for a while.
