Do you remember as a kid, everyone asking “What did you get for Christmas”?
As always, my family pulled out all the stops when buying me creative Christmas presents.Here are some things that I am looking forward to trying out in the next year!
My Daughter-In-Law is an artist and I asked her for a book and brushes to help me with my watercolor practice…..
The book looks wonderful and I can’t wait to try it out!
I got two exciting books……
At this point, I am not sure I will do much more Sashiko, but when I looked through the book, I kept seeing free-motion quilting designs, particularly some grid designs. So, now I am excited about finding other ways to use these designs!!
Santa brought (ie….I bought for myself) a seam roller and stiletto……
As I said in my last video, I lost my favorite stiletto, so I am looking forward to having this one. I have never used a seam roller and am anxious to see how it works.
Finally, I received “The Color Cube” by Sarah Renae Clark.
These boxes contain 500 cards….each with a photo and colors inspired by the photo….
The back of each card contains the Hex-code for the colors and lighter and darker hues as well…
I can’t wait to use these cards to think about and plan future color palettes!!
Isn’t this a great bag of loot to start my new year out with?
Stay with me!!
