Merry Christmas! We have obviously been on Christmas hiatus this past week. We had a lovely Christmas complete with lots of relaxation and fun, and then the girls and I sped off to Michigan to visit family. So we are here having an extended Christmas and will be back to California before the New Year.

I was only able to complete two new projects as Christmas gifts this year. I do have a few piles to complete when I return home…to my new serger! (Oh, yes Santa was good to me this year.)

So the first project was a new runner for my sister’s table.

The color in this photo is not great – but the middle fabric is a great gray/khaki brocade that was in the clearance bin at JoAnn’s. Love it when you find something like that.

The second project was for my crafty Mom. She needed a way to transport her markers to her scrapbook classes and dates with her crafty girls. So I used the idea of the crayon roll-up and adapted it to fit my mom’s copic pens.

I really like how hers turned out. I then made similar little roll-ups for the girls’ new DS’s. I haven’t taken photos of them yet to post, and I need to make some revisions to them now that we have used them for a few days. There are a few things that don’t seem quite right on them. All things to deal with next week.

I hope you all can share your Christmas goodies with us today, too! Have a great week.
