Tidings of Comfort & Joy

Fabric and pompom trim to wrap up sacks of Christmas cookies.

Today I took Fig to Rock Paper Scissors in Montclair, the cutest, most stylish store ever for people who sew and craft. While she chose a pattern and fabric for a dress she wants to make for her art school/fashion design portfolio [which is due soon, so I'm feeling nervous for her], I tooled around.

I found the last piece of this 100% organic cotton fabric above--called Circa 60 Beach Mod by Monaluna for Birch Fabrics. I love it. See the pine trees? And you know, everyone travels @ Christmastime and can use a road trip snack sack.

The fabric was $20 for 1.5 yards, but I hope to use it to wrap up sacks of sturdy cookies [biscotti, oatmeal, chocolate chip] for a few people. I'll fill plastic bags and then wrap the fabric around. Then, I will tie each Santa sack with a pompom-trimmed bow.

These are the things that put joy in my heart.

Good night.
