i am in possession of a new sewing and quilting book, and i’m quite enamored with it! it’s called “present perfect,” and it contains a plethora of super easy projects that appeal to me.
and yes. why yes, christmas is heading our way. sooner rather than later i might add. there are some great gift makin’ projects here, that’s for sure… but… that’s not why i bought it.
there were two reasons, or should i say two words: scarf. and puppets.
i’ve highlighted just a couple of the pages within for y’all:

oh yeah. this scarf! {i love scarves}. and i hope to make one myself {that will be as cool as this one}! it’s made out of knit fabric. {i have some of that!}
puppets? “really?” ~ i had to ask myself… yes, really. i’ve never been terribly interested in them before. but i am now! but these little guys are speaking to me. ahh {actually, isn’t that what puppets are for?!} so cute!
and these simple leaf blocks. love turquoise and gray!
did i mention the cosmos infinity cowl {scarf?!}
and isn’t this hat creatively done? i’ll likely never make it, but i think it’s pretty cool.
and placemats! y’all know this right ~ that i am the placemat queen? {yup}. or at least i feel like it. i’m really not a queen of anything, but i do love making them!
did i mention these puppets are adorable?!! gotta begin the treasure hunt for my felt bucket somewhere in the studio, and see what i can create. then i’ll have to practice my ‘forest friends’ voices! lol. perhaps i can entertain our grandson’s… perhaps it will only be myself that is entertained?! oh well. something has to motivate me!
i guess i’ll have to check out this ladies other books, too:
blessings on your day!

Love the scarf!
Yes, you are the queen of quilting in my eyes! Those projects are perfect for you.
Oh those felt finger puppets are so cute. My grandson loves foxes and his friend loves owls, so those would be fun to make. I saw somewhere online where a woman hung her wall quilts and added finger puppets in a similar motif of the quilt to sit on top of hanging rod somewhere. Gosh I cannot remember exactly how she hung those quilts, but it was so cute. The other things in the book looks good too.
