Have I told you...

that I have the best inlaws ever? This is probably the first of many posts boasting about how lucky I am. Sorry, I just can't help it.

My father-in-law or "FIL" built us the best Christmas gift ever! We live in an apartment with pretty limited space. See what he built to help us out:





It holds all of our spices with room to spare!! My mother-in-law "MIL" made the cork board for the front part of the cabinet years ago as a hobby. The past few times they've come to visit they've noticed the huge blank space on the wall and likely heard me complain about the lack of space in the kitchen. What a fantastic solution!


I hope that everyone is as lucky as me!

Little girl dresses! Yay! I am so excited to start something new. However, I do have to finish a few things first:


1) The 16 mug rugs that I have ready to be bound in my dining room, that I haven't blogged about yet because they are gifts for a certain group of people that read my blog frequently.
2) The Figgy Rail Fence quilt started back here.
3) A Christmas stocking for myself (woops)


So I have to finished all of those items hopefully before New Years, so I have about a week to whip up a few dresses!

OH - hopefully I will have some fabric added to my stash after present opening on Christmas!!
