Kringle can't wait to see pictures of what you make. I'm a pretty basic sewer too so I'm interested in what you will do.
Carrie, you will get it done don't worry. Good to see you!
Kringle quite a list! Looking forward to seeing you pare it down over the months.

Last night while starting to clean in craft room I ran across a sack of flowers that I had drying, so I made 2 ornaments. They were from my sons friend mom who died a yr. ago in May so made him and his brother one. She only had 2 flowers on her grave so the purple dried good and then I took some ribbon from the flower and used it for the hangers. Inside glass balls. Normally I shrink a picture of the person and put 5 or 6 of them thru the ornament and also put a picture on the tie but didn't this time.
Their dad died less than 6 months after that but I didn't get any flowers from him. Cold weather I think and they were dead before I could get there. The oldest boy is now 27 and Mikey is 25. So young to be without parents.

I took a picture of one of the sets of zipper bags that I am making. The largest is 8 1/2" x 5", middle size is 6" x 4 1/2" and the small is 4 1/2" x 3".
They are taking a lot longer to make than I had planned, but I already have the fabric cut, so I feel like I have to finish them....
(Sorry the image is so large - I could only get this or really small.)
Lana, the ornament sounds really nice. I'm sure the two sons will be happy to have that.
Welcome Kringle!

Love the bags!!! 
I did a small amount of embroidery last night. Finished one of the three space themed felt "pictures" and made a start on the next one.

Thank you for the welcome.
Lana, the ornaments sound lovely. I'm sure they'll be cherished.
Carol, I really like those bags. The sizes are perfect for tucking in your luggage or handbag.
I have sick little ones and a Dr appt for my mom today but I'm hoping to get some material cut out and maybe pieced together. I need to run to the craft store when I'm out to pick up seed beads and green felt. Where does one purchase dried lavender? Would they have it there?
hagd!

I have so many UFOs at the moment, but am concentrating on the spring cleaning. Really need to put all the ideas in my Christmas binder and get started, or finished as the case may be.
