Stockings & Vintage Quilts & NO CAMERA

     Ok, so here is the deal...I can't find my camera!  I've put it in my purse & now it's gone.  I was going to show you my Old Quilt/New Stocking!!  I really, really need to tidy up my crafting area!  It's horrible, I'd show you but I CANT FIND MY CAMERA!   I'm so sorry to be yelling at you.  It's not your fault I'm a ding-dong-ding-bat!!!
     Have you all searched on Etsy lately for PIF's.  I've found some really cool stuff.  If your wanting a "for real real" PIF be sure to put a dollar amount in the box.  I do 0 to .50.  I know, it only costs .20 cents to list an item on Etsy & for it to be a "real real" PIF it should be .20 cents, but.... with shipping, packaging, PayPal etc.. it can truly add up.  That's just the way I do it, don't be so harsh, sometimes I don't even put in a $$$ amount.  But, you know,  then I get to thinking that it's more of "actual item cost" then & is that really a true PIF??? I'm not sure, guess it depends on the individual.  What do you guys think?
   Well, no camera, no pics, BORING!
HuGs & KiSses to all & to all a GoOdNite!!
     I could eat a few dark chocolate kisses right about now!

     Well, the idea was put the Etsy shop on vacation to work on crafts for a Nov. 7th show....I went shopping with a friend today and was in TJMaxx for 3 HOURS!!!  Now I'm up at 1:14am letting everyone know I'm not crafting!!! 
     I have been cutting a quilt into small stockings.  I just hate to cut up old quilts.  As a quilter who starts lots of quilts, but never seems to finish any, I know how much time, sweat, tears, stitches and blood goes into one, it pains me to take one & cut,cut,cut.   The only ones I chop-up have no other uses, I promise!  I have a few that really should be cut up & re-purposed, but I keep thinking, I can SAVE them.  You know, take the quilt top off the ratty old back, throw away the old and tattered batting.  Repair all the holes, by hand of course, and put back together with a new back & warm n' fuzzy middle batting.  Come on!  I don't have that kind of time, so I'm just packing them away for when I get REALLY old or REALLY bored! 
    Oh, I also just burnt a whole batch of chocolate chip cookies!!!  :o(   I'll just have to drink my milk alone.

Try to have a great week, shop away, eat fresh cookies (not burnt ones) and stay healthy!!!  XoxO, heidi
