40th birthday celebration a week ago with my sister-in-law, brother, and husband.
I am now an elder, but I don't feel middle aged.
I have many good people & things in my life, and I thank Jesus for my many blessings.

Disney Polynesian Resort and Trader Sam's Grog Grotto last night. It was so festive for Christmastime!
And...and...perhaps rarely seen hiccough in the magic of the grotto...the nice view of the snow & volcano was interrupted with tech issues & computer pop-ups (see photo 9).
Fun way to begin time with my bff!

A few festive Christmas sights at Animal Kingdom today. I definitely feel in the holiday spirit after a magical day at Disney with a good friend!

Two adult small/medium face masks available for $10 each.
They've gone through the wash and dry cycle post completion and shrink half a size from their original sizes.😳😆 I'm learning that even with pre-washed fabrics the second wash and dry still shrinks the fabric more. But if that happens to your mask, get the ear pieces wet, and re-stretch them while they're wet. That adds usually enough space to make a mask more comfortable.
Anyway does anyone want one?
Tote bags I made last weekend.

Lined Mickey Mouse tote bag just finished!
(Pay no attention to the mess behind the model.)
I was shown some tips to piecing together a bag with lining--especially helpful since I don't have a serger at home. (Thanks Mama!)
This will be added to my Etsy shop (link in bio) by tomorrow.

New shop item!
Wrinkled (how?! I just ironed it before sewing!) but adorable Chip & Dale chipmunks pocket upcycled flannel shirt now in my shop (link in bio).
The size is men's large TALL. It's too long in arms and torso for my 5'11" model.
🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️
If you are tall and love Chip & Dale, grab this shirt!

I made this just in time for you to get it before Halloween!
I'll put it in my Etsy shop tonight, unless somebody DMs me beforehand that they'd like to buy it!

Anyone in the continental U.S. can *reasonably* expect to get it within 5-10 days from the time they order!

Plotting where to add a pocket to this vest. Every vest needs a pocket!

Customer requested a Nightmare Before Christmas face mask.
I asked if she'd also like a tote bag with the same cute fabric from .
She said yes!
So here is the finished set.
Only 2020 has matching sets of anything including a face mask! 😆😂
So...it is rather challenging to get my sewing machine to fit down into the tote for sewing the bottom of the fabric strip. Any sewers have any ??
If anyone else loves this fabric and wants me to make something, please let me know!

If you love Star Wars, baby Yoda, The Child, Mandolorian, or life in general, the shirt might be for you!
This vintage men's size XL shirt has been upcycled with cute Baby Yoda/The Child fabric.
I put the new fabric on top of an existing pocket, and moved the button to the outside fabric. So it's fully functional, and now you've got even more pocket space than you know what to do with!
😉You're welcome.😉
It's now in my Etsy shop, link in bio.
