Snowmageddon and Sue Spargo

I picked up a Sue Spargo pattern for the Victoria tote bag when I was in Michigan. I fell in love with the sample they had hanging in the Cousins Quilt Shop. I finally finished it a few weeks ago. Being me I had to make my own applique design, which of course included a kitty!


I've been pretty pre-occupied with Christmas sales at the store and recovering from Snowmageddon I & II. London received record amount of snow on the weekend of the 6th, and then another dump of snow the following weekend! Leading to more snow in those 2 weekends than all of last winter! We also had to deal with some pretty wicked icicles at home (see below) and at the store!


Keep in mind my windows are 6 feet long! The next 2 photos show the view of the icicles from inside the house!





It's like living in the jaws of the Abominable Snowman!



We have since paid a couple of people to remove the icicles! I had fear they would come crashing through the window!
I didn't finish any handmade gifts this year, just way too busy. I did manage to make a few gift bags, though. Usually I just make simple drawstring bags out of scrap holiday fabric, but I did manage to make this one from Lazy Gal's website...perfect for the dvd's.


Happy Holidays everyone! Promise to blog more often in the new year!
