A couple of fun purchases :D

Of course I've been doing lots of Christmas shopping and sewing, but I've also snuck in a bit of shopping for myself - that's fun shopping!  Here are some recent (fun) purchases - NAYY!

Kismet Trinket Box pattern - I saw the announcement that Sara was going to be uploading a new pattern on her birthday, and as soon as I saw it I *had to have it* :D  And I did order it as soon as it went up, lol.  Check out the tester versions - WOW!   Here's a picture shamelessly stolen from her blog - Sara, I hope you don't mind :)  This part of the description (along with the price - $5US!) was what sold me:  "With minimal pieces to cut out and less than 20 sewing steps, these boxes come together quickly" :)

Kismet Trinket Boxes from Sew Sweetness :)

Yesterday I bought something fun - I went out for lunch with our oldest son, and we stopped @ Walmart to pick up a few things.  I bought these for ME :)  I bet you didn't know that Suddenly Sandra is a 12 year old boy, masquerading as a (54 year old) lady or a 54 year (old lady)  :D

Poop slippers :D

Same poop pictures, different angle, LOL!

I've also picked up a couple of craft books and a couple of DVDs ... this book is particularly lovely - I pre-ordered it in July, and it arrived last week :)  I can't resist that wonky kitty cat, and he'll be my first project :D

Cute & Clever Totes, by Mary Hertel

I know I'm not the only one using Christmas shopping as an excuse to grab goodies for myself - who else has done this, and what have you bought?  :D

  1. Love the wonky kitty - is it a tall tote - I couldn't get a sense of size. Looking forward to when you reveal.

  2. Oooh- I love those boxes! Thanks for the link xxxx. When the girls first had Saturday jobs we imposed a no-buying-for-yourself rule for the six weeks leading to Christmas ... and I'm now reminded of that each year so im not * allowed* to treat myself!

  6. Had to have that trinket box pattern. I can see why you were smitten. All those tester versions further pushed me to the check out page. I thank you--probably not gonna get any thanks from my husband, though. I've been hit the buy button a bit much lately.

  7. I'm not sure how I missed this post! When you make some of those trinket boxes, let me know how they go. I'm sure you'll post about them when you do, but still.... :)
