This year we sort of "cheated" that rule since my older sister was feverishly practicing carols for her new Christmas CD that she just finished recording. She is a wonderful harpist, for those who didn't know, and has produced four albums. Yours truly played the violin on one of them, though now I cringe at hearing myself since I've attempted to be more proficient on my instrument by way of studying violin performance at college (two more years to go!)
The other day I was browsing one of my favorite thrift stores and I bought a John Rutter Christmas CD for $2 in like-new condition. And yes, I caved in and have already been playing it in my car. :)
Snow will be here tonight, Lord willing, and as much as I wish to bring out the Christmas decorations, I must content myself with hot chocolate, thick sweaters, and sewing.
Here are a few sneak peeks at what I have on my table:
 |
| The ingredients for a perfect Christmas apron to sell in the shop. I'm thinking a simple Tasha Tudor style, but if you must have this fabric in another style, leave a comment or send me a note through etsy, and I'll try to accommodate you! |
 |
| I've decided that I'm going to make myself a Christmas dress out of this pretty deep teal cotton/poly/rayon (???) blend. It's not red or green, but then I can sometimes be somewhat "original" in nature. ;P I briefly mentioned it in this post of historical patterns and will be doing it in the 1933 Vintage Vogue pattern. Right now I can't decide which button to use. Any ideas? |

Hi Cheri,
I know what you mean, it is hard to wait to listen to Christmas music! I love harp music, it is one of the most beautiful instruments to listen to. When is your sister's Christmas cd coming out?
I love the fabrics you have chosen for your new sewing projects. The teal fabric will make a terrific vintage dress.
May you have blessed day!

Sarah,
Her new CD could come out as soon as a month if she can get her artwork/cover photos together by the first of December. I'll be sure to make a blog post when they're available!
