crafty Christmas 2011

Thanks to Pinterest (my new hobby!) I was inspired to make a lot of my Christmas presents this year. However, along with any new endeavor, it took a little longer than anticipated. For example, this present

 
was still being crafted the day before we left for Christmas. 

Here are a few more projects. An alphabet matching game (thanks for helping model the projects Mollie)

 
Some monogrammed coasters
   
Picture frames for the Great Grandparents

 

I love Scrabble letters :) 

 
A menu planner

 

Some really labor intensive cute magnets

 
My first sewing project!!


As of now, a crafty Christmas is planned for 2012 because I got a sewing machine for Christmas!!! Merry Christmas!

I may be a little partial, but man, those ornaments are cute :) Yay for sewing machines. I wished you lived closer so we could have sewing parties. Good thing Betty, our sewing machine, has a travel case and will travel. Lets plan a sewing weekend!!!!

Ahhh! I love it all. I want you to know that I have that Iowa pillow on my couch. Where on earth did you get that? My mom got it for me at a fancy resort in AZ 12 years ago.
You need to start a shop down by Ellie's.
