Anna sent me a selfie she took getting ready in her dorm for a Texas State University Halloween party on Friday night. I got this picture right after I published the post below with her past Halloween costumes over the years.
I’m glad my daughter is there. She’s living her best life. I’m a little worried about her mental health when she graduates in 2029 or 2030 when she realizes that her degree isn’t really going to get her the career she believes it will. Hopefully, she’ll be right and I’ll be wrong, but it’s still a concern that I have not shared with her and don’t plan to share with her for at least another year.
Secondly, I got an idea that will get rid of my fabric scraps, help me learn to ship things I make for when I open an Etsy shop, and give some Christmas gifts.
My denim chenille quilt scraps are in squares, blocks, and rows as shown below:
I don’t have enough of each color scheme to make entire quilts nice enough to sell. So I’ll just make really patchy looking ones, ship them to people very close to me out of town who won’t mind getting free quilts that don’t have a good color scheme, and it may be a Christmas gift. I’m working on this all day today, and my thumb injury feels a lot better. So, I can!
This also solves the issue of all the scraps I have taking up space in Anna’s room. I ordered these big mailers for shipping practice.
What a great costume -- she looks fab!
