Getting Down to Business!

Once again, I have procrastinated on the REALLY important Christmas making...
This week...I am determined to make a dent in some of the plans that have been cooking in my head!

Here is a sneak peek...

 Hahaha!
not much of a peek is it?  
Let's just say, this Christmas is the year of the pom-pom and clamshells!

This amazing Molly Hatch fabric is just yummy! Or as Clare would say, LUSH!!!
  
 I used a bit of left over clamshell fabric to make another little gift...
of course, hand quilted with Valdani size 8 in black.... 


  It feels twice as special to make a gift with your own pieced fabric...


Meeeoooow!

Tell me, are you finished with the gift making?  How long do you dare put it off?  I know some of you like living on the edge!!!

Happy Tuesday!

  3. Glad I'm not the only one procrastinating on Christmas. I've always thought pompoms are so cute.

  4. Reading blogs, ordering fabric.... major procrastinator. I am suppose to be putting up my tree .... Now 8 P.M.
    Wondering WHY I even think about sewing for Christmas. I do have projects that I need to finish. Send the elves :) please! Your little bag is very sweet. Janita

  6. Truth? I'm still just in the "thinking about it" stage. Not good.

  8. good girl to be getting on with Xmas things. The clam shells look great and I am sure the other photo is table mats, I have written my cards to send to Australia but that is all I have done so far

  14. I vote that the word "lush" totally replace "yummy" which has been way over used for a long time. Over and done with Yummy, love it if Lush took over! Your clamshells continue to inspire me, haven't jumped in yet.

  15. I've given up on gifts and started making bags to replace wrapping paper.
    Love the fabric choices!

  16. Everytime I visit here I come away with more ideas for fun things to make. And your question if I'm through? Well, unless I keep thinking up something else, I hope I'm done. But I do know that Christmas isn't here yet, but. . .

  17. I'm definitely living on the edge. In fact, I must be having a contest with myself to see just how long I actually CAN put off Christmas sewing. That little green mug peeking out at the edge of the clamshell brought a smile to my face.
