present in 2 meanings

I am making a present at the present time = voila- 2 meanings!!!

  • My present is a brown & yellow sunhat for my cousin Nora- colors chosen by her. I will post pics of this when I am finished.
  • I have already made a present for her- a origami flower ball that is named something like "cosmuto". This is an amazing technique, very simple and gorgeous. I will post instructions soon.
  • Recently finished was 2 projects with Amy Butler fabric- this fabric is very nice, and I definitely recommend it to be used.
  • Project 1 was a bag designed by Amy called the birdie sling. I did this bag in a brown cherry-blossom print with a brown and yellow damask print for trim, and a lining of pink and orange damask, which pops nicely.
  • Project 2 was a dining layette set I put together using various patterns & Amy Butler fabric for Adam & Jessica Koury who had a wedding celebration recently. It included 2 coasters, napkins, and placemats.
That pretty much sums up my projects recently.
