Fabscrap Haul, Part Two

As promised, here are pics of the rest of my latest order from Fabscrap. Let's start with the green scrap pack.

Green happens to be my favorite color, and I wasn't disappointed in the variety of shades, patterns and fabrics I got in this pack.

I use green most often in my art quilts, so I expect a lot of these will go into some future projects.

The purple scrap pack had plenty of fun fabrics in it, including some wonderful patterned sheer pieces.

Got another part of a sleeve in this pile. Eventually I may have enough garment pieces to make a jacket. :)

Also included was a gorgeous piece of burnout velvet in a rose pattern. That I'm saving for the next crazy quilt project.

The cotton multi scrap pack also didn't disappoint. I got a few trimmed garment sections, lovely flannels and even some denim.

As with the lace the quality and variety really impressed me.

So what am I planning to do with all this rescued fabric? Stay tuned to the blog in November, when I begin my new sewing challenge to use it all up. :)

Make It Yourself

As we head into December, here are ten ideas for easy handmade gifts: Cookie Exchange: If you live close to your friends invite them over for a cookie exchange. Basically everyone bakes a set amount of their favorite cookies, and these are exchanged at the gathering by lottery, sharing a little from each batch with everyone, or however you want to do it. You can also exchange recipes, too. My neighbor did this once and it was wonderful. Favorite Recipe Cookbook : For my favorite person I found a copy of my favorite cookbook from a vintage bookseller (yes, I am that old) and went through it making notes on all the recipes I used, how I tweaked them, etc. Ornament: There are probably a million free tutorials on how to make your own holiday ornaments, so do some research online. I like to make hanging pomanders , which smell heavenly and are biodegradable after the holidays. Mug Rugs: If you sew, making up a set of mug rugs is simple and easy; I add these every year to my ...

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

Fasten Your Seatbelt

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...
