I finished sewing a little envelope to wrap some Christmas ornaments in. I had been wondering how to present them. Just sticking them in the card to fall all over when opened didn’t seem . . . well – finished! for some reason. This illustrates how much better I’ve been feeling lately. I sat at my table, measured and marked out a plan to make the wrapper. Aside from one blip in sewing (didn’t follow my own directions!) it fell together beautifully. To quote from one of my canary’s favourite explosion filled TV shows, “I love it when a plan comes together!”

It is too bad I only had one length of this beautiful ribbon. It is perfect for the case. If I had known I would be inspired to make this project, I would have bought pretty ribbon while down below. One never knows what ones brain will run with! Knowing me if I had bought ribbon it would be sitting in my ribbon box for the next 10 years – and I’d be lamenting not having some other much needed *now* item. Somehow, hearing others bemoaning that their craft/needlework store is ever so far away, when mine is 300 miles or internet order variety, leaves me a might unsympathetic!(And it is so hard on me to have made a number of ornaments and not be able to show them off! Hurry, mail deliver soon!)
