As I sat home this evening in my spectacular Christmas sweater, I realized that no one has come in to the store to show off their Christmas spirit by sporting a bedazzled Christmas sweater. Does no one share my affinity for sequins and puffpaints? Well, I'm upping the ante! The first person to wear in their ugly Christmas sweater will get a $20 dollar gift certificate to Yellow Bird Fabrics.

Festival of Trees

I love Festival of Trees! I think it is such a great cause and it always puts me in the Christmas spirit. This year, Yellow Bird Fabrics donated a sewing tree. It is decorated with all kinds of fun sewing notions and comes with a vintage Singer and an adorable apron made by my adorable mother. My family helped me decorate it along with the Twilight tree next to it. I hope you all take the opportunity to go to the Festival of Trees today or tomorrow. Tickets are only $5 and all of the proceeds go to Primary Children's Medical Center.
