Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I've been out-of-commission the last few days as I had knee surgery on the 23rd. I'm feeling better now and wanted to wish you all a belated Merry Christmas. Here's some fun pics of my vintage inspired Christmas decorations.

I hope your Christmas was filled with friends, family, and love.

Sewing Up a Star Storm

Hello.

I’m not sure if it’s the economy or just a desire to give something special and unique to those you care for, but I’m joining the large number of people who are making Christmas gifts this year.

I love these adorable star and moon pillows. I haven’t sewn them for years and wasn’t even sure the old sewing machine would fire up. It was so fun to browse through the fabric store and pick-out the perfect fabric and buttons to match each of my friends/families décor. For example, I picked a furry brown fleece with pink spots and a silver Eiffel Tower button for one of my nieces in college to match her bedspread (she’s going to Paris this spring).

I’ve got all the patterns cut-out and am now onto the sewing frenzy. It helps to have a glass of wine and HGTV on. I’ll post more pics again when they’re completed.

I'd love to hear if any of you are planning on sewing, crafting, or baking this year's Christmas gifts. If so, leave me a comment and we can all share your great ideas.
Happy Christmas Crafting!
