My brother in law is getting married early next spring and my future sister in law came up with the cutest idea for boutonnieres- so it was button-making night last week- super fun!
I know everyone goes crazy when stores start stocking Christmas stuff in October/November, but for the holiday crafter, I think its helpful to get a plan going a few months in advance. I am going to make a kick ass Christmas quilt and if I want to have it done BEFORE Christmas, (because its not a present, its a usable decoration) I probably should have started it two weeks ago. Anyway, fabric is getting washed and cut this week, so that is exciting!!
Also, I'm just letting everyone know that Sweetwater is currently in the middle of their annual Twelve Days of Christmas project showcase. I lovelovelove this Fort Morgan-based business. The fabric lines they create have an emphasis on fonts that is rare and very well done. The quilt patterns are sweet and beautiful. Every year they showcase twelve holiday projects and then sell the patterns, and in many cases the packaged supply kits, for each project in their etsy store. Every year I get a holiday project from them and I am always, always overjoyed with it.
The mailman brought me my Sweetwater package while it was snowing like crazy out, so it really got me in the holiday mood. I can not WAIT to start these!!
Since it snowed all day Saturday, I finished some pretty playmats!! These ones are my new favorites!
What are your holiday craft plans?
