Wow, the video post got a few comments. I might have to try that again sometime. :) In December, I signed up for one last swap before heading overseas. Hopefully, I can now find international swaps – my sewing machine arrives tomorrow!
This Scarf Swap was organized by Sarah and Talia, and since it did not require a handmade scarf, I figured I could buy one if I ran out of time. In the end though, I was able to make a very quick scarf. I had originally bought this fabric without any plans just because it was so soft – suede on one side and lambs wool on the other. Then, in Eddie Bauer, I saw a scarf just like this – the same fabric with just a simple hem. Flip the fleece onto the suede side and stitch all around. Easy-peasey. I was very glad to figure out something to do with the fabric, and I have plenty to make a couple more scarves.

Scarf I Sent
When I signed up, I was living in Atlanta and had to drag my coat out of the closet for the modeling photo. Now in Brussels, I have great use for a scarf, and thankfully, The Maiden Metallurgist sent me a very cute, warm scarf. I wore it last night to go eat crepes.

Note: It looks like I’m doing a jig in that last photo, but Thomas snapped it just as I was sticking my hands in my pockets, or at least that’s the story I’m sticking to. :)

Hey! I just listened to your videos. Good job. You have a very pleasant voice, too. Boy, American homes and apartments are just so generous and full of our appliances. I know it’s fun to be over there, but bathrooms and kitchens must be hard to get accustomed to! I’m sure that sounds silly, but I’m just thinking on how different it all is. — Michele

As for your Q re: printing the wedding books, I offer a cheaper but still nice option for my clients. I order them through Costco. Apparently US Costco’s don’t offer this service, only Canadian ones. Dunno why!

The first two pictures look like they’re straight out of a catalog. The third one looks like you’re about to launch into a rendition of “I’m a Lumberjack and I’m OK.”
