It's that time of year...

It's that time of year when everything gets crazy for me.
.
Hope your Thanksgiving was lovely. Mine was wonderful, and full of family.
.
Just had to share with you my projects this week.
Along with many Christmas goodies for the kids (that I just can't show)
I made these adorable pillows for my couch from this magazine.



It was so nice to take a break from my other more time intensive projects
to have fun with this fast and easy pillow! They turned out cute I think.



The last few weeks has been full of decorating and secret shopping,
but I can finally say my stockings are hung.
Mine is the little one.... only certain things will fit in it!
...like jewelry, and a truffle or two.



I have also finished another block for my new project starting in January.
This is May's block in my Rosie Tweet Block of the Month.
.
If you are interested in getting on the list you can go
Here
to purchase the pattern only.
.
If a kit is more your style, they will be available at
Quilt's Etc.
where the first three months of blocks are already on display.
You can also sign up for my class which will feature this
BOM and starts in February if you live in my area.

Last of all, I have reluctantly posted this little reindeer who is half finished, and on his way to becoming the sacrificial item of my first needle felting attempt. I really like this craft and hope to have him finished and better looking with the help of my amazing mother.
.
Oh the possibilities!!!
.
Now off to finish up some things before the kids get home.....
.
Until next time, Happy Stitching everyone, and Merry Christmas!

Sounds like things have been full steam ahead at your house. Just love all of the stockings hanging but especially love the idea of just having a small one - I might try that trick - LOL

Love your pillows. I collect snowmen so this project would be a great addition to my holiday decorating.
Hope your reindeer becomes more comfortable with his situation :)
