Some knitting for Christmas
I've been trying to figure out how to make a cowl with the yarn in my stash. After a few tries, I decided on a seed stitch, large circular needles and around 120 stitches. Either the blue or the purple will be a Christmas gift, I just don't know which one I want to give and which one I want to keep! Maybe I'll let the recipient choose!

Teacher's cards
Tomorrow is the last day of school before Christmas vacation, so I made 2 cards for the girls teachers today. They each told me what image they thought their teacher would like last night and were pleased with the results today! The snowman is stamping bella, the trees are artful stamper. I used kiwi glitter ritz on the matt of the tree card.
Owl pouch
I made this pouch this morning, it was ordered by a friend to be a Christmas gift for her daughter, who loves owls! Hope she's happy Christmas morning.

Snow Globes
So, last night I was roaming around on the internet and found a photo of some lovely " snow globes" on Pinterest. The original blog post can be found here. Today, I went to the craft store and picked up the jars, the trees, snowmen and penguins. The deer and racoon are animals from our Playmobil collection. For the snow I used sugar. Super cute in person, and the girls had fun making the little scenes inside.
I found a new blog called the Magic Onions (just purchased from her Etsy shop). Really cute needle felting, waiting on some acorns for my tree!

Christmas Cards from class
I had a mini stamp-a-stack on Friday and we made 12 cards. We also made the stocking card, and a snowflake card posted earlier. It was a fun day, and I just want to say thank you to all who came.
The craft fair in Musquodoboit went well this weekend. Now, I can just work on some smaller items I need to make for Christmas, all the craft fair prep is done for another year!!

Snack bags
Wednesday, November 30, 2011
All ready for the fair
Okay, I think I'm done. I made 24 bibs last night, a few more blankets and this morning ironed everything again. I may make a few more snack bags, but other than that I'm finished. Now, just to finish cutting paper for my 2 card classes on Friday and boy, that basement floor needs to be vacuumed! I think I should book a massage for next week or I'm going to look like the hunchback of Notre Dame......

Chenille blankies for the fair
Today, I made a few chenille blankets for the upcoming craft show in Musquodoboit. I love this vibrant blue color of chenille, much more my style than pastel colors!! I'm linking this to WIP at Freshly Pieced today, especially since my sewing room floor is full of fabric cut and waiting to be sewed!!

Crayon Wallets
I know I haven't posted in a week, but I really still have been sewing! I registered for another craft show, this time in Middle Musquodoboit, Dec 3rd and 4th. I decided to make some crayon wallets to sell for the first time and see what the response is. I know any child that I've given one to loves them. I had purchased the pdf pattern last year from JCasa handmade, the only thing I changed is the velcro closure instead of the elastic and button.

Owl ornaments
So after a boring day of decluttering the house, I decided to do something fun with the girls when they got home from school. We pulled out the felt and got to work on these cute owls. The colors on the green one were chosen by Charlotte, and the red by Claire. You can find the instructions for these little guys right here.

Latte Bella
I was in the mood to make one more card this morning, and I just love this image by Stamping Bella. There really is something special about enjoying a really good cup of coffee. Anyhow, I think there will be more cards featured on this blog from here until Christmas, I must get going on making my Christmas cards. I can't believe it's the 2nd week of November already!

Catching up on cards today
It seems like it's been a long time since I've made any amount of cards, so today I decided to spend my afternoon stamping. The top card I will post in this week's Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella (Emily's theme is holiday cards this week, and I've always loved the minty coffee stamp).
Maybe I'll have more to share later, but hard to say, kids will be home soon!
