Some hip stuff, I think?

NOT MY PHOTO!! Necktie necklace, this is hip right?

This skirt matches DD#3 girlie tree perfectly


Lots of applique and cool corner's for the binding

I will be the first to admit I have no idea what is hip, so this tree skirt might not make the cut but DD#3 seemed to like it. I may or may not ever get a photo of the skirt around the tree, that is unless I am willing to go over to Daughter #3 apartment and take one myself. I don't make a habit of just dropping in on any of our girls. I tend to have a different idea of cleanliness than they sometimes do, (an understatement) I find myself scrubbing the kitchen and baths when they are not looking! I decided not to quilt the skirt due to lack of enough backing fabric to match the skirt and the fact that DD#3 doesn't give a hoot, why go to the expense and time.

I found the necktie necklace while surfing the net a few days ago, here is the site I found it at, she has some really cute stuff you might like http://alethaisraels.blogspot.com/2011/02/upcycled-tie-necklace-tutorial.html

With all the stories of neckties for Christmas that no man really wants I thought this would be a great way to help hubby do a little more cleaning out!! I'm thinking it will have to be an after Christmas project but should be easy and dirt cheap. Might be a great little gift for a girlfriend or two who is into jewelry as well.

I am off to bed with clean sheets and a blank note pad to start my to do list for the week. Hubby wants the grands stockings for our house first on the list. Daughter #1 wants stockings for Karsyn and Manson first on my list. I would like all 5 stockings off my durn list but I can't seem to make myself disciplined enough to just set and do handwork all day. I'm thinking its time to drag out the time out bear to get me on track!!
