I did a little making and a little wrapping today and there is no contest – I like making a whole lot better than wrapping.

I finished a project last evening and decided there was time for one more quick thing this morning. I did a search for a pattern and found several online that would have been fun to try, but speed was the biggest consideration so I opted for the simplest pattern. The pieces were as quick and easy to complete as they promised (that sometimes isn’t the case). It was fun picking out fabrics that I thought would be good for each of the grandkids.

I wanted to get as many packages as possible wrapped and in the mail today in case we get a lot of snow tomorrow and I don’t feel comfortable getting out to the post office. The packages that I mailed today won’t go out until tomorrow because I missed the cut-off time; they still have lots of time to arrive at their destination though. When I was still in the planning stages for my projects I wish I had considered how easy (or difficult) things would be to wrap and ship – maybe next year!

I’ve got more packages to wrap this afternoon and then I may do a quick clean-up in my sewing room. Things are a real mess and it is getting harder and harder to find things when I need them. I’ll be on to some cards next and it would be nice to start them with at least a clean cutting and ironing board.
