Christmas is coming....



Well, not yet, but I'm attempting to be better prepared this year amidst the chaos in my life right now. At least my little helper is now ready to help me with all the Christmas cookies and crafts to come! I found this dish towel at the dollar store. The embroidery was already there (thus the slightly crooked lettering), along with the pom-poms. I cut about 3 inches off the top of the towel, which became the 3-pocket pouch where she can keep all of her tools and supplies. I think I'll be making more of these as gifts for her little friends. It was so easy!! Oh, and the best part is that it will grow with her! I followed this basic idea, but obviously "made it my own"! Click the first pic below to see the detail of the pockets. And the second one to see the button holes on the neck ribbon from my fancy machine that makes them automatically.




It seems that Thanksgiving is being shoved aside more and more because Christmas is so much more profitable for stores. I really don't want to do that and would like to make it a special time this year. If I have a bit of time (between cleaning the house and cooking for the big day), it would be nice to make something for "turkey day". If you have any cute craft ideas, please let me know.
