Another Sew-Tastic Crafty Day!

Wow has it been a long time since I've posted! It was a BIG handmade holiday this Christmas - more pics on that later. Before Christmas, we had another Crafty Day. Usually we like to make it a weekend, but with the looming holidays, lots of presents to make, and limited time to get together, we had to do it all in one day...and what fun!

The end result of 15 hours...yes, I said 15 hrs!

A LOT of mittens to keep loved-ones hands warm.

Some chapstick holders.

Mini ice skate ornaments and

lavender sachets made from a vintage tablecloth.We were all very proud of ourselves!

My cousin, Miranda's sewing skills have come a long way...

"No pins Miranda!"My sister, Christy, proceeded to sew night and day to make something like 12 pairs of mittens!

But it wasn't all stress-free...I MIGHT have said some bad words this day - after sewing my 2nd pair of mittens the wrong way...VERY frustrating! It was really getting late at this point...sorry Jeremy :)

Needless to say, we accomplished A LOT and had a great time together too! A special thanks to my Mom for all her patience and hard work with us :)
