Christmas Crafts
Ok, before I tell you about my marathon of Christmas gifts, I have to say that I was still crafting today after making no less than 16 unique gifts this season! I just wanted to be back in my studio making stuff, so that’s what I did.
That and my friend Sherri’s suggestion to check out Pinterest was a good one. I had this inspiring pin board to get me crafting!
So I went to this tutorial at Retro Mama and made these little houses with Christmas fabrics. I have to say I like her fabric choices a lot better, but I started them with my Christmas bin of fabrics and they just turned out.
For Dave (with Woodstock in the window):
And for me (yes, I wanted one too!):
They were really addicting and easy to make multiples of. I had to stop myself from sewing more of them and go play with my boys a bit!
If you want to get into Pinterest too or have already discovered the wonders…
Here’s another quickie project I did…by watching a video. They are just 4-strand braids in a ball, I’m going to add ribbons and make them into ornaments.
It’s still Christmas and the boys are happily playing with their new toys, I think I’ll go back to the studio! (Maybe I should clean up rather than making something this time, though!)

Your little houses are adorable. Happy holidays to you and yours!

Glad you’ve found inspiration on Pinterest! I’m totally impressed that you were able to squeeze in some extra crafting too! I’m hoping to get a skirt for me made in the next week. My fingers are crossed!
