Season's Greetings

Just back from NYC and below is the only photo I have to show for it; Cartier's lovely gift-wrapped building.

My apologies  for such a long absence. It's been a very busy time and I'm looking forward to a week of Christmas calm with the family.

I missed DD's skating recital... but the DVD and photos showed me all I need to know, she has worked so hard and improved so much and I'm very proud of her. The dress she's wearing is a Jalie pattern, I made it a few months ago from fabric bought at Spandex House on my last NYC visit.

Thank you to all for visiting and commenting, and thank you to those who continue to write blogposts, it's always inspiring.

I wish you

A Merry Christmas - A Happy Holiday

&

A Prosperous and Happy New Year

Christmas Morning

Thought I better post a photo of DD in her Bubblegum 4 Christmas dress or I'd forget. This one was taken on Christmas morning, yet she always manages to pose somehow, I mean, in the midst of presents and all... It fits her perfectly but the lace frayed... oh well. 

The coat is coming along and I've made several changes along the way. I'll post on that later. Cindy wanted to know how I make the fringe: Here is a link to my Chanel jacket fringe. The only difference is I cut a double layer of boucle this time because the fabric is lighter, and I also did not use any yarn to cross over.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We did, but... I'm absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, ready for things to get back to normal, whatever that may be :)) All I know is it includes school. Thank heavens for teachers!

God Jul og Godt Nytt År!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

I wish for all your 2009 endeavors to be wonderful and prosperous.
