She's a great vintage
September 28, 2009
So my sister's birthday party was this weekend.
Last year I made her some comfy pjs from vintage sheeting, and I know she likes unique handmade items, so I couldn't exactly let her down.
Don't worry, I didn't whip up anything too special. But she did like it a lot, and it's one of those fast + easy gifts you can really have fun with.
I bought a bottle of wine (and made sure I liked the bottle top cover -- it didn't have any writing on it to distract), soaked and scraped off the front label, and then replaced it with a personalized one. I told you it was fast + easy.
{ As for the 'Chexican' part... My gorgeous, olive-skinned, raven-haired sister has been mistaken for many a nationality over the years and she embraced it a long time ago. Her friends threw her a Chinese Fiesta party, complete with egg rolls, layered nacho dip, taquitos and fortune cookies. It's all in good fun. }
I also made her six napkins, just because. Everyone should have lots of fun napkins at their disposal.
Happy Monday, blogworld! xoxo

Happy Monday to you! Home made gifts are far more special, especially when that fun. You'd never go wrong with wine for me!

I remember those pj's on your blog! I bought the pattern but have only got so far as the shorts. I wish I had a sister who would sew for me! Lucky girl.
