\"Oliver<\/a>
Oliver Twist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have a number of tote bags with different projects in them. The idea is to be able to “grab and go.” The Big Game<\/a> (we won, in case you needed to know) was this weekend. It is, generally, the family kickoff to the holiday season. I needed a project. Since I finished the handwork on Beach Town, I had nothing on the front burner. I grabbed an old project bag and found Christmas!<\/p>\n

Really, I found a project called Kissy Fish<\/a>. I haven’t worked on it seriously for awhile. I was pretty close to being done, so I brought it with me to the game. I’ll talk about Kissy Fish in another post some day.<\/p>\n

The bag was a pit. It was obvious that the last few times I worked on it, I threw stuff into it willy nilly. Unearthing it was fun! I found great stuff that I had forgotten I had, like 8 packs of Oliver Twist threads<\/a>! Who knows how long they have been in the bottom of the bag, but they are out now.\u00a0 I also found a bunch of beads and other stuff I haven’t seen in ages. There were a bunch of spools of Aurifil, Madeira and Perl cotton.<\/p>\n

It is really like an early Christmas gift. I can’t wait to get my hands on those Oliver Twist thread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
