12 Days of Christmas - Meet my friends

They are all ready to meet you!

It looks like all the pictures taken late in this afternoon

turned out a lot whiter than they should be :(

But the muslin I'm using as a background

isn't really white, white.

Anyhow, I finished the embroidery part

as well as putting the buttons in place.

This is my favorite vintage button's jar

which is from France a few years ago

when she and Sylvie visited me :)

I used 11 buttons for this project

my little jar.

I think I've talked about this special jar

filled with MOPs and other vintage buttons

once before somewhere in my blog posting,

but the weird thing is as many as I've been

using them, it seems like getting filled by the time

when I have another chance to find 

a good use of them in my project :O

Hoping Vero isn't still staying

in our attic playing that fun trick 

since then ;)

BTW, I have a secret to share with you

about the buttons.

I didn't know how to put the buttons

nor use an iron till started learning

 sewing/quilting a little over ten years ago.

I still seem to get confused quite often

about all kinds of stuff like that

especially related to housekeeping.

But a good news is I'm still here ;)

Getting back with my applique friends :D

All the birds and people got

 their pretty eyes and faces!!

That's a good thing, isn't it?

Oops, now I notice

the drummer needs his drum sticks :O

"12 Days of Christmas"

by Cheri Payne

Size: 38" x 45" finished

I still have a couple of finishing touches

to be added to the top

before adding the borders.

But what's causing delay of

doing that is this fabulous magazine!

It has just arrived at the door 

earlier this week and ever since,

I've been busy flipping through the pages :O

Ms. Limo: Can you believe that?

Anyone, tell my mama to play with me,

seriously!!

One more day till the weekend :D
