Silent auction, less than silent nights
This week saw LOTS of sewing (such a good thing!) in preparation — for the American Cancer Society Fashion-A-Cure silent auction — along with the first santa sighting of the summer season!
The orange/white/vintage floral fabric clutch, along with a “multimedia” scarf (as Murph, one of this year’s organizers, calls them) done up just for the occasion, was donated to the American Cancer Society Fashion-A-Cure silent auction. Really wanted to meet the winning bidder , but waiting out the extremely long line of bidders among so many people just wasn’t feasible. Hopefully she will contact me though!
These didn’t make it into the auction, but I’m working up new pouchettes (using the term ‘clutch’ just seems irresponsible) and scarves featuring watercolors I’ve been doing, along with drawings my friend John has been doing. Soon, very soon!
As for santa — he’s hot of the presses! Just got printed, and even has a cameo in a refer box on A1! I tried to stay away from the obvious, but it was the path of least resistance — especially on a Friday night, when the designer needs it by Monday morning! Poor illustration got lost in the shuffle, somewhere’s between flash the the two other illos…
Nonetheless, it gets the point across. I should be saving up any and all turkey-related ideas anyway — the annual “dress the turkey” contest will be upon us soon, and there’s no telling what I’ll have to do for that…
