Almost ready to go to Louisiana

Finishing sewing projects, getting ready for craft show and packing to go south.  Here are a few pictures of some of the things I've been working on.  Also making 17 crocheted headbands for Jessica's VB team to wear in the big Christmas parade they're going to be in on Monday the 29th.  Have four done, so will be crocheting in the car and probably every minute I get to sit down!!!!
Here is a fleece outfit I've started for Renee.  Will finish it after I get there, so the sleeves will be the right length and put snaps on there.  Hopefully, the jacket won't be too big. Don't have any childrens hangers, so using a big hanger, makes it look bigger.
Then I've also been sewing some table runners.  These that are hanging aren't done yet, but the pictures gives you an idea of what they look like.  This is called a 10 minute project.  NOT!  But after I got the hang of it, the sewing of seams probably only took 10 minutes.  Need to but material,  iron seams, etc.  - so cancel out the 10 minute title!
Actually you need to look at this sideways.....  It's a front door winter scene. 
Still need to do a decorative stitching across the bottom, and add button at the seam.  I made a red one like this one for Miss Sandra in LA  (Jessica's MOL).  This is actually a gold, but doesn't show up that way.  I have several more to make with dark green .  They will be pretty too.


Will get you some pictures tonight after we set up for the craft show.  Then tomorrow the show is from 9 am to 3 pm, and then I have to get home quickly to get the dogs to the groomer/hotel by 5 pm.  They love going there, so we sure won't have to worry about them.  Give Leah and Connie a break from taking care of our dogs! 

We've decided now to leave Sat evening because it's suppose to snow Sat night.  This way we should be ahead of the storm!

I've been so busy getting ready for craft show, etc. that I haven't blogged all week, and next week won't be any different.  Every time I got busy with crafting, etc. Steve would call me from the garage, needing help.  So I felt like I got interrupted a lot, but he can't hold and nail at the same time, or fit big pieces up to the wall when a plug in outlet needed to be pulled through the hole he cut, etc. etc.  Will finish painting the last two inside walls when we get home.  Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.  Don't eat too much!  Talk to you all when I get back.  jo
