Fun afternoon and an emergency stocking

My friend arrived and we headed out to visit an antique mall. First we stopped for lunch at P F Chang's and then Target to take back the iron I bought on 11/21/23. I plugged the iron in, and it would not heat up. I had saved the box and my receipt so there were no issue taking it back and getting another one. I really like the iron so that is why I got another one. I again saved the box and receipt just in case!

We didn't buy anything at the antique mall. My friend was looking for a mirror and I just looked. We got back to my house and made a stocking for her new son-in-law.

We exchanged Xmas presents. She gave me some homemade cookies,

a beautiful canvas with lavender (I need to find a special place to hang it!)

and an amaryllis bulb that is wearing a Christmas sweater! How about that Wanda! Every amaryllis bulk needs a Christmas sweater!  LOL!!  It is one of those wax bulbs that don't need watering or anything. Now I will have to pick Wanda's brain on how to save the bulb once it flowers and the foliage dies back.

After my friend left about 6 P.M., I turned my attention to the project bags. I am using light gray thread on both so it makes the assembling quicker. The zippers are now top stitched

and I have all the pieces stacked ready for pinning and sewing. I am going to watch the video one more time to make sure I have everything in the correct order. I wrote the directions down, but I would feel better to watch the video one more time.
