I have it almost finished and I will post pictures soon. I had to put it on hiatus for a while because I didn't have enough fabric (first-timer's mistake) and had to order more. Ha! I'm sorta embarrassed to admit that I did that. <br /><br />You will have to share pics when you start cutting. I would love to see what you choose do and what your fabric looks like. <br /><br />~JoyJoy Leapharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189258644999736509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727085739108610212.post-91812363410778962122013-02-06T14:53:26.365-05:002013-02-06T14:53:26.365-05:00Have you decided which you are going to make?

I am beginning my sewing endeavors on Christmas Day and thereafter (with my new machine), so I may be asking for suggestions and feedback really soon. Bought my first non-scrap fabric yesterday!<br /><br />(About the mermaid, two of my friends have the same ornament. One of them has a writing cottage that she has dubbed the Mermaid Cottage. She definitely celebrates the spirit of the sea.)<br /><br />Merry Christmas, Lady!<br />~JoyJoy Leapharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189258644999736509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727085739108610212.post-58385825491249980762012-12-20T12:18:40.166-05:002012-12-20T12:18:40.166-05:00Hello Joy!
