Natural Beauty

I just had to share these. These are my new Gingher spring-action dressmaker shears.

They are stunning, I know. I've had a pair of Gingher shears for a year or so now, but people...they. do. not. compare!! Who knew cutting out patterns could be fun?! FUN. They feel like silk in my hand and cut through fabric like a hot knife in a tub of margarine spread...better than buttah!

Did you notice I kept the original resolution for this picture? It was worth the upload wait.

Please don't ask what I was working on because I would hate to tell you it's a scrub top for someone that gave me the fabric BEFORE Thanksgiving! And I would hate to admit that I've just now gotten around to making it for her! And I would hate to admit that one of the fabrics she gave me falls under a "holiday" theme and I'm not talking V-day! It does have snowmen, that counts as "winter", right? With half our state recovering from an ice storm, I would think snowmen are okay for a few more weeks.
