I hope you all had a great New Year! Here’s to 2012 and proving the Mayan calendar wrong. Today is a nice quiet day around our house. Well, maybe not “quiet” – DS the elder has a bunch of friends over and they are playing Apples to Apples. I’ve been working on my next Chanel-style jacket. I’ve thread traced the body pattern pieces onto the alpaca.
Still have to trace off the sleeves
While I have been working, I’ve been enjoying the birthday present DS the younger gave me. Check this out! It’s a makeup case from Stila that has built in speakers so you can plug in your iPod or other music player. It also happens to be the perfect size for holding sewing tools. I love this!
A chic carrying case for your sewing tools!
Or for your cosmetics - and it makes pretty good sound.
I’m taking a break from sewing to make our New Year’s tradition – jambalaya for dinner. I managed to snag the last andouille sausage in my local supermarket yesterday. Yay me! More on the jacket later. Time to chop onions, celery and peppers…
Happy sewing!
Happy New Year! The new case is fabulous. The new jacket is sure to be gorgeous. Enjoy your day!
I love your new case/iPod dock! How clever of your son to get it for you, and genius to use it for sewing tools.
What a great present!! Happy new year!
Great present, I agree!! Super useful.
So that is the houndstooth alpaca- yummmmmmeeee!
Happy New Year!
That fabric looks awesome–can’t wait to see the finished jacket! I love the case and how you’ve used it.
Happy New Year, cute case and know your next Chanel jacket will be fab-o!
Happy New Year! Great idea for the case.
Ooh that is such an awesome gift – I love it! Looking forward to seeing how the Chanel jacket turns out. That fabric looks really cool.
Fabulous case – what a wonderful gift!
Cant wait to see the jacket (the fabric tease was cruel!)
