Well, I guess I found a few more items! They had some charm packs for 30% and 50% off - how could I resist?? And, since I'm 'into' table runners this year, I found some books and patterns with some great designs! I picked up some 'Americana' blue FQ's for my yo-yo project. Some small pieces of lovely wool, some FQ's for absolutly no reason and some fun birdie fabrics! The pinks are the fabs I selected for my runners, but now that I have them home, I'm not sure they will work. They will be loved though, don't worry!
On Friday I got to go to an Art Market in Sugarhouse (Utah) with my friends Kathy and Deanie (my mother-in-law).
It wasn't as big as I expected, but I was inspired and glad I went. I did pick up a few items. The theme was Valentine's which is not my favorite so maybe the next one (in May) will be better.
Kathy thought it might be fun to sell some of the baskets we make at one of the shows. It's a juried show, so we auditioned a basket I made and the organizer of the event said that she loved it and would 'accept' us as vendors if we wanted.
We'll see, I kind of don't like my baskets going to people I don't know, I'd rather give them to friends than to sell them to strangers!
We also ended up at Pine Needles, a quilt shop and embroidery shop in Gardner Village. I purchased some fabric that I would not normally have bought, but I'm involved in Pat Sloan's Orange Challenge Sew Along February 20th -22nd, so I thought the pieces would work well for that.
Again - Glad you asked!
I try to make MOST of my gifts that I exchanged with friends. I prefer making them to buying because I think it shows them that I think they are worth the time I put into the gift!
I made over 20 of them and enjoyed every one!
Another gift that I loved giving was an Ann Taintor 2009 Calendar. If you are not familiar with Ann's work, you NEED to go take a look! I absolutley LOVE her humor!!
I picked up a few of these hard cased wallets at a boutique shop in SLC. They are great because they carry the necessary cards, but the hard cover prevents you from stuffing it full of needless stuff! 
Of all the gifts I gave, my favorite BY FAR is this dainty little set.
I've seen and heard the phrase out there on blogs, but didn't ever fully understand what it is until I asked Christine.
