Finished and Almost Finished

The putzing continues here at my end of the street,

but I am seeing the end in sight on this Bucilla kit I've been making.

Last night I stitched the backing in place on the 

Gingerbread Cottage Advent Calendar.

Now I just need to stitch the back of the snow to the chimney

and add the hanging cord to the ornaments.

The almost finished cottage.

The backing for the chimney snow is pinned in place.

 

 All of the ornaments are just placed on the cottage.

They will attach to the sequins sewn onto it.

I need to add the hangers.

 

The host and hostess! 

:)

I'm excited to have this almost finished!

Now that I'm back into working on these kits,

I have my next one picked out to make.

Hopefully I'll keep going for a while

and have fewer unfinished kits in my cabinet.

Alright...

I confess....

I have a new obsession!!

A while ago I watched the tutorial by 

Jenny at Missouri Star

on making little pouches from candy bags.

I had saved a candy bag from my daughter after Easter

and finally decided to try making a pouch with it.

Can I just say.... these are so much fun and so stinking cute!!

They go together in no time.

I've made two and have the third bag prepped and ready to go!

 

The biggest problem with making these bags....

not eating the candy!

Happy Quilting!
