Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all got to spend some wonderful time with loved ones. We did! :)

I finished all my gifts on time this year. :)  I even made a couple more last minute gifts. I made a couple scarves for my friend's daughters in Germany. I added some embroidery and backed it with some warm fuzzy fleece.
They will definitely come in handy.

I made one for Taylor too and she loves it. 

 Here she is modeling hers. 

Now, I want one for me.  Must add that to my long list of stuff to make....

Happy Holidays,
Sunny

Some Holiday Decorating

I always make plans to make stuff for my home for the holidays.  It never works out.  But now, I am no longer a HOLIDAY SLACKER. 

I finished a few things for the Holidays! 
I'm proud to say that my christmas tree is no longer naked. 

I came up with the pattern on my own.  It's based on my Spiderweb block.  Just tweaked a bit.... 


I hand quilted it and here's a closeup!  :)


Much Better, huh?!?!


Wait!  There's more!
I'm also happy to say that I also made an Advent Calendar for my kids! 


The pattern is based on Oh Fransson's Tutorial, but just tweaked a bit (again). 


I did 25 pockets instead of 24.


I embroidered the numbers and I hand quilted it (again!)  :) 


Amanda's beautiful calendar was the 'kick in the pants' that I needed to finish this.  Thanks, Amanda!  :)



Taylor really loves it.  She said, "Mama, I love your new calendar.  It's so beautiful." 
What can I say.... the kid has good taste.

Gotta go.  More holidays gifts to sew...

Oxox,
Sunny
