I just cut out pj bottoms for Kathryn. I am hoping to make the girls new jammies to wear on Christmas Eve. I used to make them every year, and then I got too busy or other things got in the way.

Kathryn picked out a cute blue fabric with dancing Santas. Lauren picked out navy fabric w/snowflakes.

I love re-usable gift bags, and I say I'm going to make them every year but never seem to get around to it.

gift bags are on my list for next year, but this year I've got an excess of avon boxes. They are awesome storage boxes with nice lids. I've painted some and will finish decorating them today. Each family member can have their own "place" to store their stuff in their cars when they go home.

While taking all the Christmas STUFF in the house I found a big bag of bows. I haven't used bows in years since I've been using gift bags. So I'm going to glue bows on top of a few of the boxes for decorations.

I didn't have too many homemade Christmas projects this year, so I am working on craft fair stuff for next year. I've been making more of the sweater purses and dishsoap aprons, since I sold alot of each this year, and only made it to one show!

Here is the link to my arts & crafts photo album with stuff that was finished up last week:

I've got a blanket to finish up at some point today and a pillow case to go with it.

I've finished a bunch of potholders from recycled blue jeans and decorator fabric, and I'm onto a couple of aprons from fabric Full Circled to me and some nice stuff I bought. The good stuff makes the apron though.
