Since Miss Mary Mack married Mister Mitch (how's that for alliteration?) in August, I had the pleasure of making another Christmas stocking this year.
I let those two cute-little-honeymooners choose from a big selection of Bucilla brand stocking kits in the Merry Stockings catalog, and this is now hanging on the mantle:
After making ten of these types of stockings, I've finally developed an efficient production method, which meant this year's stocking was completed in record time.
For years, also in the name of efficiency, I have used one of the watchmaker's cases from my "small objects storage trays" to save all the leftover sequins from those stockings (and other projects) .
But...
For some reason, the lid on that particular case is loose-fitting, and I have had this accident...
...more times than I can count.
I'm all about efficiency; especially during the busy holiday season.
When it happened again this week, do you think I picked up this mess and immediately - and finally - put these sequins in a new case with a tighter fitting lid?
No, I certainly did not.
Because I, like the sequins above, am...
...a beautiful mess.
