The X-Bag

I made myself a new purse and I absolutely love it! I'm a sucker for Batik Fabrics so this is just right for me!

From Mess to Success

I just completed the wonderful "From Mess to Success" Class offered by Feeling Scrappy. Pictured are the binder and dividers I made to help keep all our "stuff" organized in one place!

I'm really looking forward to Feeling Scrappy's next class, A year of Cheer that begins February 2nd. If you love making cards you will love this class!

Christmas Socks

I made a pair of socks for my friend Andrea for Christmas. Unfortunately, I was only able to finish one sock before Christmas so she got the other one for New Year's. :D Pattern is Blackrose.

I had enough yarn left to make these adorable wrist warmer with the same pattern. :D

Snowman Ornament

Each year I make my kids a new ornament so that by the time they move out they will have quite a collection. This year I made these adorable snowmen for them. You can find a tutorial at Simply Flourishes blog.

I'm a bad blogger.....

I admit it. I don't enjoy writing so blogging is one of those things that gets put on the back, back burner. I have been busy so I will post some of the crafty things I have done in the last month or so........

Merry Christmas!

For a second year and a row we have had a white Christmas.


I hope each of you had a day filled with joy and special family time. :)

Snowman Fetish?

I finished knitting and putting together this little guy this week. I had started him last winter and ran out of yarn and the store was out too. I think it was May or June before I found the yarn again and needless to say I didn't really feel like making a snowman then. LOL. Anyway, I did get him finished to add to our Christmas Decor this year and I absolutely love him. He is very soft and cozy, just like the pattern says. :D If you love him as much as I do you can get the pattern HERE.

Yesterday we went out and cut down out Christmas tree. Now that I have begun digging out all of our Christmas ornaments and decorations I've discovered something about myself....... I have a real snowman fetish! I think I always have. I love all things snowmen but most especially building them from fresh fallen snow. I don't see that coming in the near future though. I guess I will have to wait patiently and enjoy the snowmen inside my home in the mean time.

So, what is it you love??
