OT ho ho ho

Knowing full well that some of you don't begin Christmas shopping until Dec

24th, I thought you might like to see a great find. There are always some teens on our gift list who like $s the best. They might prefer their very own oil refinery or McDonald's branch since their gas tanks and tummies seem to be always empty. Anyhow. I wanted a special way to wrap their money gifts and found an idea over at Herrschners. They have a kit for felt tree ornaments that have a pocket on the back for tucking in money. The patterns are fairly accurate and the felt rather sub-standard but with some leftovers from other projects and some bling from my genuine crystal setter, the ornaments are quite dazzling. Not affiliated, of course, just thought you might like a special way to gift wrap money.

Those are very cute Polly. How many have you made? We need to find a way for you to post pictures somewhere. I have this feeling that the group is missing out on some very wonderful projects.

I will post the pics if our dear Polly can get her friend to snap the photos. We did it once before and it worked out just fine. I'll even create her very own WebShots site rather than post the pics on mine. Can we tempt you, Polly? Pretty please???

The kit is just for six and, naturally, we needed seven so I made one from scraps (quilting skills to the rescue). My neighbor who does pictures for me has become addicted to Celtic appliqué. It will be a while before I can tear her away from her quilt. I think we would call her 'highly motivated'. I get the old pom-poms out and cheer her on every chance I get. Oh my goodness, how I do love to teach someone who truly wants to learn. Thank you, Leslie. We'll do pictures one day. Polly

Please? pretty please? I bet someone has a digital camera from which they upgraded that we could send to Polly to keep! Hummm....we'll have to keep an eye and ear out for lonely 1.5 M cameras. Heck, I may have one around here somewhere. Or was that the one that got lost? Well, anyway. I bet there are some sitting in drawers with the cell phones that have been replaced.

I'm pretty sure of it too. I know I wished I could have seen that ducky quilt she told us about. But happily for us, Polly writes in a most wonderful descriptive style that does give us great mental pictures. Debra in VA See my quilts at

When I replaced my cell phone, I took the old phone and charger down to the local law enforcement office. They give them to people who don't have/can't afford cell phones, but need something to call 911 in an emergency. Check with your local law enforcement or women's shelter to see if they can use the phones you're no longer using.

I know they have a program like that around here too. But I've never had my act together at the same time I have my cell phone(s) collected to follow through. see? That's why I need my lists!!!! :-)

I was just thinking (now, there's a sentence beginning that scares the pants off our near and dear), that I would start looking for a book titled 'cameras for real dummys'. I honestly did try to read our book on the new cell phone. It seems to be translated from Portuguese by a Bangalahara sushi chef. Meanwhile, enjoy the peace and quiet. One day, I'll be posting non-stop with hundreds of tedious pictures of our great-grandchildren and whatever brilliant project is underway. Polly

Can hardly wait, Polly. Tedious? I don't think so - if you put captions on them >g< . In message , Polly Esther writes

What a great idea! (Especially the bling.) And if felt ornaments don't appeal, seems like we could be whipping up some of those little wallets in Christmas fabric. Roberta in D

Thanks for the link, Polly! But I feel just a little disappointed, I thought it was your annual joke coming a bit early.

Not yet, Carolyn. Such a production must be carefully orchestrated. Patience, my friend. Terrible Christmas joke time will be here sooner than we can imagine. Polly
