Christmas Party

 I made these yummy north pole cupcakes, easy and festive.

Each year we make an ornament for our kids Christmas party. This ornament was simple yet so easy to personalize.

9 Patch Pillow Cover

A few months ago I was able to get some great down pillows from TJ Max. The covers weren't my favorite, I didn't have the time to make a new cover. So, instead of cleaning my house for our annual cousin Christmas party I made a new pillow cover.

 The squares are 1 inch by 1 inch. 

 This was the cover I bought the pillow with.

 My quilting needs a little help.

I loved how fast this came together, and how cute it looks in my family room.

Baby Blanket

My hubby's cousin had a baby boy a few weeks ago, it is their first boy after having two girls. I made up a soft flannel blanket for the new little guy.

 I found several tutorials on pinterest for a self binding blanket- it's easy and fun to do. Make sure your layers are square and it will be an easy project.

 My mom gifted me a lot of fabric last time I was visiting, this fabric was from that stash.

Squaring the fabric before you start sewing=incredibly square corners after :D

Peppermint Pillow

After decking the halls and trimming the tree I looked at my couched and saw that I needed to change this pillow cover. I used some red velvet and cream fleece from my stash and made this fun pillow.

 Isn't it festive?

 It even goes well with our grinch

 I a tutorial on pinterest (that apparently I did not pin), and made it a lot bigger and sewed it on to a square pillowcase for my 20x20 pillow.

I'm sure a lot of you are enjoying weather like this-if this continues, I'm sure I will have a lot more projects done and ready to share.
