It may have been only 1/2 and inch or so, but we woke up to snow. To bad I already entered my 'spring' picture to the local newspaper, because this would have made a nice submission. Well, maybe except for the cable running to the Christmas lights (yes, they are still up) in it. And, just in case you didn't find that hillbilly enough, the picture I did submit I had to crop out the random PBR beer cans in the background. I still think it came out nice though:
From that refreshing breathe of down-home-ness, let's enter the world of suburban bliss. Yesterday I was busy making wine sacks [among other things for] a blind spring wine tasting we're holding.
I made 12 of them easily using a sewing machine. I usually laud the merits and enjoyability of hand sewing, but I banged out all these sacks in a few hours with the machine. I used left over material from my Flower Girl dress at my best friends wedding. Little did she know, she had the perfect colour green for a spring party years later! Only 2 seams were needed to sew in order to make beautiful functional sacks for wine. I would have tapered the sacks more, but everyone brings their own favorite wine to be judged: the sacks are a drawstring design to accommodate different styles and sizes of bottles. A label can then be attached to the drawstring for judging purposes. I am working out the sewing pattern I made up to be easily understandable that I will post next so you can make your own.
