Sometimes, I buy the sheet sets that come with flat sheet, fitted sheet, and one or two pillowcases (one if twin sized sheets, two if queen sized). The rest of the time, I sew them!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-40085034888670730012018-09-11T15:47:26.757-07:002018-09-11T15:47:26.757-07:00Thank you, Jules.

I think the stitching is a little more noticeable up close, but, hopefully, my sparkling personality (ha, ha!) will keep people from noticing the mending on the back of my sleeve! LOL! If my daughter doesn't like the cherry pillowcases, I will use them for the guest bed. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-48001804779803375942018-09-11T13:09:46.072-07:002018-09-11T13:09:46.072-07:00So sad about your brother! 9/11 will always be a ...So sad about your brother! 9/11 will always be a sad date.

A day to sew to my heart's content!<br /><br />You had a busy and productive day, too! Ah, Christmas gifts! It's time to start planning those, isn't it? Hope you found lots of good ideas of things to make, ideally with what you already have on hand, so that the budget can be stretched. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-91250528914261686942018-09-11T10:41:21.300-07:002018-09-11T10:41:21.300-07:00Thank you, Live and Learn.

It was a most productive day as well. You accomplished much. Your daughter will be thrilled with her new pillow slips. I got some more windows washed in the morning yesterday, but spent my afternoon on the computer. It was different this time. I wasn't trying to distract myself by procrastinating. I was looking for ideas and inspiration for Christmas gifts. (It was cold and raining so I couldn't go outside anyway) I have to start making a budget for gifting and I have to start early on my projects.
