Astuccio

22 Nov

I’m feeling better today.  Thanks to Lemsip Max for another beautiful sleep.  I was even feeling well enough to host our weekly sewing class here this morning.  We made 2 more zippered pouches (all using different techniques).  My previous zipper fear is almost gone.  Almost.  Here’s what we did today…

I’ll be making more of the green and blue one for sure.  The pouch with the buttons and visible zipper is a little too fussy for my taste though.  I’m happy I learned how to do it but I’m not sure I’ll be producing too many of them for Christmas gifts.

    So, that’s how you spell that wonderful word I hear you all use so often – moooooooi !! In English we would say it (the word) is an example of onomatapeia – where a word sounds like what it means.

        Thanks Cilia. With our latest (and very early) snowstorm, everything is moooi – like a Christmas card but I hope it doesn’t last.
