Santas Shoes

This year I made new stockings for our family!  I LOVE the way they turned out!  My littlest calls them Santas shoes. 

Up close and personal.  Aren't they so cute...not to bad for freehand and no pattern.  It took a lot of work and a lot of ideas coming together in my head.  I started in a different direction but this is the way it went towards so I took it and ran with it! There is a lot of ribbon which I thought was so fun but the pinning all together WOW! Hope you all have a great Christmas!

My sewing projects....table runner fun

 This one I made for a friend for her Birthday.  I love the way it turned out on the black
This one I sewed for a friend.    It was a lot of fun and the best job too!  She called me and said she had a bunch of super cute fabric and would I mind sewing it for her and she would pay me!  Her fabric is FAB and I so loved putting my creativity to use!  It turned out a lot better than I could have ever imagined and so loved the way it all turned out!


I love the bright colors on this one and just love how it turned out!

Holiday idea with my little men

This one I did for my mother in law! I am having so much fun with this this year!!!!!
