I bought a new quilting book for myself for Christmas-this block pattern came from it (I adjusted the pattern a little-only making 9 blocks, no borders). The backing is a faux fur cream chenille. Very soft. I love the pink/brown/blue color combo on the fabric. Here is a link to Camille's blog, her book cover is on the right hand side. 
I made this little card today to send to my sister-her birthday is coming up in January. This is the first time I've used the mushrooms from the funky four set (stampin up). I think I'll make this again, but instead of coloring each mushroom a different color, just do them all in the espresso. I like that dark brown mushroom best!
I've made these mittens off and on for around 15 years. Once I finished dental hygiene school and was working, I found I needed something to do in the night (since I didn't have to study anymore!!). Anyhow, I finished the red pair last night and thought I would be post some pics.
I found an online tutorial on how to make this cute basket. I think next time, I'll use a stiffer outside fabric, maybe muslin with a decorative strip of cotton print. It stands well, but could be sturdier. I think my girls want to use this to store some polly pocket toys in. It's a great size for all those tiny items that pollys use.
So this is my favorite card that I did tonight. Love the background harmonie paper, the glitter paper under the sentiment and all the sparkly goodness of the card. I embossed the greeting in a glitter/gold embossing powder. Used the northern flurry snowflake die cut by Stampin up. A quick card, but I think it's so beautiful. 
This card is so sparkly it was hard to get my camera to focus!! Love this shade of glitter, it was a little tricky to get the ornament to lie in the exact shape it came in on the sheet, so I messed up a few places when adding the inside pieces! Still looks pretty in person though.
I used this ornament stamp from the new mini and the sketch from the Sweetest Thing blog. Lot's of glossy accents, and glitter on the ornaments. 
Here is another little xmas card (again I made 4 at the same time!). This image is by Taylored Expressions, from the set Sprinkled with Love. I stamped the image on a piece of SU patterned paper and cut it out. I used liquid appliqué for the foam on the cocoa. 
So now the rush is on to make some Christmas cards! I sat in my craft room today and made 4 of these. It's an older Artful Stamper image that I've always liked. I embossed in gold, then painted with twinkling H2O's. It's been a long time since I've just used cardstock and not any patterned paper on a card. I quite like the simplicity of this one. I used a sketch from The Sweetest Thing blog. 
Here is yet another apron that I made for my sister in law, Pam. She'll get this from my brother Steve for Christmas. I can't believe I actually have this done so far ahead of Christmas! Yeah, me! The blue fabric is Hunky Dory by Moda, I can't remember what fabric the orange side is. Anyhow, have a good night.
I embossed this Stamping Bella image in disco black, then painted with twinkling H2O's. I added liquid applique to the fur. The background paper is SU! 
I matched pacific point blue with white and I love the crispness of these 2 colors. I embossed it in gold and colored with the blue marker. Then lots of gold liquid pearl accents.
Here is another card from today's class. I used these little raccoons from the Merry Crittermas set, colored in with chalk and spica pens. I love the sentiment, it's a new holiday set in the mini from SU!
Today, I did a class at the house where everyone made 10 xmas cards. I had 10 stations set up, and everyone went around and did the cards. Now I can share them on the blog, most of my girls don't want to see the cards before they come to make them, they like to be surprised! Here is the tree stamp from the Stampin Up! set A Cute Christmas that is featured in the mini right now.
Here's another apron I finished a couple of days ago-it's going to be a Christmas present. Love the polka dot fabric! I bought the fabric in Martha's vineyard in the summer, finally using now. 
I bought this pattern from JCasa's blog. It is so cute, and great to bring in the car or to a restaurant. It has room for crayons/gel pens, a note pad and an extra pocket for stickers or to store the finished projects. This one is a present for Charlotte, I'll be working on Claire's next.
This is a bday card for my good friend Joanna (hope she doesn't check this today!). I still have to run this over to her. I love this stamp, 2 girls sharing a latte together, oh you can just imagine the conversation!! Happy Birthday Joanna! 
Look what I made yesterday!! So cute, love the fabric. The pattern is Amy Butler and so is the fabric, found it at Hawthorne Threads. I wish it was a little bigger, but cute all the same.
And the last card I did for today. The blue background paper is a lattice embossing folder by Stampin Up! that is so pretty. I love the depth of the embossing on that folder, lots of details. The mittens are from a set in the mini called A Cute Christmas. 
Here is a cute little Elf by pink cat studio that I bought at My Stamping Studio a couple of weeks ago (and it is only being inked up now!). Anyhow, love the stamp, and the bright background paper is Harmonie, the colors match the retired SU! papers perfectly (bermuda breeze and the teal). 
I used a double sided peel off tree to create this card with 4 different colors of glitter ritz. I start with the outline of the tree (silver) and then add each individual piece back in, so the sticker for the trunk next, then the blue area ending with the red dots. It took a long time to piece it all back but the result in person is fabulous. Love the sparkle of glitter ritz. 
I love this stamp. I love embossing it with gold embossing powder and then painting in with twinkling H2O's. It's a larger stamp, I find it looks wonderful on 5 1/2 square cards. And this is a fitting post since we had a few snow flurries this afternoon!! Yes, winter is coming, the sooner I accept that, the better off I'll be. 
I love this little girl by Stampin Up! It's an old-fashioned image, and a little different than my usual style. This is one of the cards I'm doing at an upcoming retreat at Cole Harbour Place next Saturday. 
Love the foil paper embossed with the snowflakes, the details of the folder show up so well on the foil paper. And gotta love my new snowflake die cut, I used a paper weight shimmery vanilla color for the snowflake this time.
