So, these are not stagged shots... this is really how it looks when I am working. I just generally make time to clean between projects and right now at this time of year that does not happen until the piles slide off and hit the floor. ( which is a close thing but, not happening yet) Okay, the packaged of new coffee cups hit the floor so it went to the closet but, the bitty pieces are not sliding off as of yet.
late Sunday night and Monday after work I altered some sacks for the booth ( seen here ) and I stamped off some different sentiments and have as of yet not die cut them into shapes. ( I use versafine and I need to let it sit 24 hours or so in cold weather for it to not smear off on the dies or the bigshot.

 the papers on the paper cutter I think are going to go on more sacks ( later )

 somewhere in the middle of altering sacks I got the bright idea that I should finally cut this quilt die ( My Favorite Things) and maybe add some of these to sacks or card fronts for Christmas.
Since I do not make real quilts from fabric the really only idea I have about this is keep the scale small and random. So far my flower prints for Christmas are too big. ( I tend to not like stripes that do not line up perfectly and so the pieces you see here are mostly just sitting there and being pushed around, the dot paper the scale is not printed just so that the dots line up with the stitching of the die perfectly. ( not sure I like that) at any rate I have a ton of paper and I am just happily chopping some up.

to the left of that, are hmph, new things I have not played with ( that you cannot see because, I buried them) sizzix plastic envelopes of previously stamped and diecut sentiments that went onto some of those cups and sacks, rolls of strings and cords. way past all that are a few cups that got paper and did not get assembled as of yet, in the bag of candy there are exactly 3 pieces left to do one more cup. ( I need to buy more candy to keep going which is why I ended up switching to sacks) if your curious how the cups turned out they can be seen in this blog post here. That printed paper on the top I think is gong to be my Inspiration card this weekend. ( we shall see, the colors are right for the piece I picked anyways :)  )
Okay so, I think that is about it for me, thanks for stopping by.
