Sew Crafty Holiday

With the kiddos out of school since last Friday, we’ve been “sew” crafty and gearing up for the holidays. I finally found the time to work on some wool felt ornaments that I purchased as a kit from Plum Creek Collectibles whilst in Houston for the Fall quilt festival. Tammy De Young, the owner, was such a sweet gal and she’s from Texas too. Her designs were just so adorable that I bought two wool felt pattern/kits.

My daughter and I also dug out our paints, brushes & glitter to work on clay , metal and glass holiday ornaments. A little hot chocolate and whole bunch of cookies later, we were like our own little ornament factory!

Phew, yep we were busy……but I did find time to bake myself another of my favorite treats from Living Without-gluten free cranberry scones. Yummy!! And of course, I had to give my Pfaff a little holiday loving too. I created this little “Jingle” table topper that was inspired by a post on Moda Bakeshop by Melissa Mortenson of Polkadot Chair. I just love the Figgy Pudding line by Basic Grey for Moda and will cherish this little table topper for years to come ! So, thank you Melissa for being so generous with your creativity!!

I also made myself a little Christmas present…..the Swing Bag by Amy Butler. Isn’t it darling?  I didn’t use Amy Butler fabrics (sorry Amy) because I fell in love with this line Picadilly by Pamela Mostek for Clothworks. The cool thing is this bag is reversible and I can take the scarf off and wear it too! Sweet or what! And don’t look to closely at my fabric bursting out of my hutch!
