Sewing for Christmas 2011

Today you will find me over at Stash Manicure where I am the guest blogger.   I would like to thank Madame Samm for this fun opportunity!  Stop on over and take a look then come back here and read on...


I am on a mission this year to sew for Christmas each month so that I'm not making myself crazy in the weeks before Christmas.  Would you like to join me?  Here's the plan:


1.  Grab the cute button "Sewing Christmas" from my sidebar and add it to your blog.
2.  Stop in here the third Monday of each month where I will be featuring a gift you can make.
3.  Share your own project that day through the link provided.  It does not have to be a sewn item, it can be any great gift idea you may have.
4.  Rejoice with me in December 2011 over all the gifts we have created and the fun we will be having with all of our free time!


A big THANK YOU to the very talented, KEREN at
for designing a wonderful button!
Be sure to visit her for some beautiful, vintage freebies! 

Blessings,

  1. That is one of my goals for this year, too. How fun to have some accountability! This year was so crazy (and not in a good way) so I vowed to get started early. I'm going to try and grab that cute button...

  4. Stopping by from Keren's site. This sounds like a great idea. I have been busy sewing already. There must be something in the name Renee as mine is the same!

  5. I loved your post at Stash and really would love to know the dimensions of the scarf you made. And I love that JUNK bag - I've made several bags and I want to go back and add some words. :) blessings, marlene

  8. I was thinking the same thing about Christmas sewing (as I packed up my vintage Christmas fabrics) but I think I'll take January off or at least until I can see colors other than red & green again. :-)

  12. I was thinking the same as you. I love buying fabric, but don't like shopping for gifts. I'm making a list of gift ideas for next Christmas, but like you I want to start early. Thanks for the encouragement and motivation!

  14. Ok, I'm embarrassed to ask but I don't know how to get a button on to my web site. I don't know how to get all that "data" from your site to mine. There, I said it. Now do you think you can help me?? I'm so helpless in these matters.

  15. What a wonderful idea! I want next year to be less stressful. I'm in with this one. I finally got around to reading your guest post, I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the well wishes, I think I did wear myself out. If I join this, I don't think I will next year :)

  16. I love your idea. I was thinking the other day I need to "work" on Christmas all year.

    I managed to add your button to my blog.

    Can't wait to see what we all make together.
