Nothing like a looming deadline to make a crafter totally irrational. This week I went to a surprise birthday party for a friend who just turned 60.  As she loves leaves, I thought this would be the perfect time to make the leaf table runner pattern that I bought in Canada: because everything looks simple when you're an irrational person.  By the morning of the party, I wasn't even close .  So, I scrounged out the last pre-made canvas bag in my stash and embroidered a bag with her name and a really nice tree on it, cutting it SO close to the deadline that I didn't even get a picture of it before dashing off to the party.  Good to see those old college study habits have stuck with me so long. Last weekend I did get a Santa bag done, which I'm pleased with.  I'll send it off early so Kellan's parents can use it for the Santa gifts.  So sometimes I'm on top of things. I had run to the fabric store to pick up more fall fabric for the table runner...
