Scarves and cards

 We don't actually do a lot of gift exchanging around here for Christmas. I tend to give people things whenever I see them. My family doesn't exchange gifts, instead we are starting a new tradition to spend some vacation time together each summer. But I do have one group of friends that I have drinks with each month and I try to make something for them each year. One year it was potholders, one year soap and lotion and the others I can't remember right now! This year I decided to dye scarves for them. These are Cut Velvet scarves from Dharma Trading and they dye really nice. Hopefully they will like the colors I chose for each of them!

Otherwise I've really only been piddling around several different things. I did finally get all of the decrating done....all that I'm going to do. I'm not putting out the beaded ornaments this year. Sometimes decorations need to take a break! I have the tree with the glass ornaments and that will do fine.

I started quilting the QOV quilt. Since I'm doing it with a ribbon meander it should be done in a day or 2. I"m futzing with the glass a bit and have a couple of projects there that I really need to focus on and get done.

Finally, last night I started some more postcards. These will be for December bithdays (one of which is past due already). For the December cards I try to make sure that they look nothing like Christmas cards. That's especially true for my SIL with a December 23 birthday. I hope to get these done by the weekend.
