Little Things ...

I can share the Christmas presents that I've made now that they've been mailed and (mostly) received.

 

I made Linda a tea wallet from this tutorial. I also made her a couple of mug rugs.

 

 

 Peg got bowl buddies from this tutorial. (I had a hard time getting decent pics of the bowl buddies in a way that you could see the bowl shape!)  She also got mug rugs (no pic, sorry, but they match the bowl buddies).

 

Debra and Julie got wine coasters from this tutorial.

 

 The each got a Christmas set and an 'every day' set. 

 

(Top row, Debra; 2nd row, Julie; 3rd row, Linda)

 

 

And an extra set .... for me? ;-)

 

 

Still got lots to do, like finishing this John Deere quilt .....
(I have the top half done!)

 

 

Won't be much sewing going on this weekend with both Gabbie and Sadie at my house!  Gabbie will be there all day Saturday, and Sadie will be coming to spend the night!  Lots of playtime and fun in store for Aunt Paula / Gamma!

 

Linking up with lots of great blogs this week.  Please visit the links in my right-hand sidebar!!

 

WIP - Christmas Presents ....

Okay, I can't show the actual projects / gifts, because the recipients follow my blog.  But I can show you some of the fabrics. 

I've made one gift from this fabric, and am making a second (different) gift for another recipient.
(That blue is a brighter, more turquois color than this pic shows) 

And I've made one gift from this fabric, and a second (same) gift for another recipient from other Chrtistmas fabrics (all used up so no leftovers to photograph).

I'm enjoying matching gifts and fabrics to the recipients' likes and personalities.  I hope they get as much pleasure from receiving/ using them as I have gotten while making them.

I will show pictures of the finished products after they have been gifted (I'm sure I'll have them in the mail to said recipients around Thanksgiving; patience is not one of my virtues!)

Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday

and with Kelly for Needle and Thread Thursday. 

Delivered

Uhm, the package is delivered, not the baby!

Finished this project up this weekend and gave it to the momma-to-be this morning, so I can share it now. 

I also made a little something for the big sister.
 

 

Bibs and burp towels for sweet baby girl, due in August.

Big sister's pouch is filled with pretty-girl goodies like nail polish (in some wild colors) and flavored lip gloss.
