1. This Bible verse...

and this one...

...those who plan peace have joy.

2. This ornament coloring book that Natalie especially is really enjoying

She has ornaments hanging in lots of random places around the house :)


3. My new little bias tape maker!

If you don't have one of these and make your own bias tape often, go get one!!!! I cannot BELIEVE I haven't had one up until now. Well, I bought one once, but it was too small, since the measurements shown are for single-fold bias tape, just FIY. Now this little toy, combined with the tutorial I posted about the other day (about how to get 5 yards of bias tape out of one fat quarter) make me want to make tons and tons of bias tape :)

4. Heidi Grace fabric at JoAnn

I love every cute little print. I bought these three on sale the other day. My friend Angela and I discovered JoAnn's best-kept secret--they are really dead the hour between 5 and 6pm, so it was heavenly in there :)

5. This one is for my sister--Heather Bailey's wool felt. They come in 8x10 pieces, I think and the colors are gorgeous...of course, we are talking about Heather Bailey here, so of course they're beautiful :)
