Simple Gifts to Stitch - Along - 2

Late again, but done.  Another nice project from the Simple Gifts to Stitch.  I'd like to have tried this in a solid fabric, but I didn't have anything on hand that would work.  Ever since I bought this fabric, I've thought it would work great as a table runner.  Mainly because I love the newsprint!  If only I had some all-newsprint fabric, now that would make a really cool pintucked table runner, yes?  I love typography so maybe it's just me.  Hop over to the flickr pool to see more at Finny and Donk's Sewing Adventure.

In other news, we celebrated a little birthday recently.  I now have a 7 year old.  What a sweetie pie.

And what was his favorite birthday gift?  The Electonic Snap Circuits.  It is well worth the money if you have a child who likes technical-gadgety things.  My son is so that kind of kid.  He can never have too many flashlights, compasses, spy gear, magnifying glasses, etc.  The plastic base has a grid with coordinates which I read off to him from the instruction manual - so it's fun for both of us. 

Oh and a belated Happy Easter to you!
