Hello and Merry Christmas to all!

I’ve got to START Christmas shopping—this am—if I ever get hubby out of bed!
No hurry—it’s foggy as all get out this am.

Been loving the graphics and pings. Y’all do a great job! :)

I did get a little Christmas stuff done! LOL Sewed all day Sunday. Made 4 pairs of flannel pj bottoms for gifts, and a quick blanket for the gbaby, and a touchy-feely toy for a friend of ours baby. I had the most fun doing that! I used different scraps of material for texture/color contrast to make about a foot square pillow. I looped different colors/sizes/textures of ribbon around the outside edges, put a bell—in a film canister/lid is glued on—in the middle and sewed around it so it won’t move, then stuffed the remainder with WalMart bags for noise. If he gets half the enjoyment out of it that I did, it will be well worth the effort! Theoretically, the whole thing is washable. We’ll see.

Merry Christmas to all my FRiends at Amy’s Place!

The Lost Mitten
~ Unknown ~

My poor little kitten lost her mitten
And started to cry, boo-hoo.
So I helped my kitten look for her mitten,
Before her paw turned blue.

That's terrific you sewed gifts! I'd make hundreds of the pj bottoms. I so admire your talent. I tried... I can't sew at all. Not even a hem or button. LOL :)

Going now to start wrapping. Have a great day, Gardengirl!

Aww, good for you, Garden Girl. It has been ages since I hand-made Christmas gifts. You’re right, it is special fun:o)

Merry Christmas, GG.

Hope you finished your Christmas shopping.
I am finished except for a couple of stocking stuffers.
I did most of mine online this year.

I wish I could sew .... your hand made gifts sound wonderful.
These are the best kind.

Hope you are having a WarmFuzzy Wednesday.
