I got ambitious and made all the little sacks for my gift mixes I will make closer to Christmas. A fat quarter made two of these. They are small so I’m hoping they fit the mixes.
Cute fabric choices!!
Thank you! I happened to have some fun ones.
According to Siri I now have 11 weeks to get my act together for December 1st. C’monnn, Bee, get this show on the road!
I’m still waiting on my fabric order but according to the tracking info it has officially left the US!
Oooh exciting!! I love getting fun deliveries. Even when i’m the one who placed the ordered it still feels like Christmas. Lol
I’ve been working on Christmas decor more than gifts. I have bought some gifts and made a few things. I need to make a list and get serious about it I suppose.
I am waiting on fabric as well…to make new stockings for my cats! lol
Ok. For the record I have to admit that my first flash thought at reading this was not “stockings hung by the chimney with care.” I legit pictured leggings. On cats.
I need more sleep. Haha!!
100 days until Christmas. SO… less than that for any “countdown” calendar crafts maybe someone has been procrastinating… Not to name any (me, totally me) names…
I stitched like 20 stitches last night so I’m making serious progress !
LOL, @Immaculata
They look great, very warm and comfortable!
I hope to properly finish it this week. I’ve been in a crafting slump so random fill stitches was a good way to get started again.
I love the texture you gave to the bears…so cuddly looking!
Well, I tried really hard to do a second 12 days fake-swap item today but try as I might i was unable to make the button garland work to my liking so I abandoned ship and put the supplies back in stash. Oh well, at least I got some crafting time in even if I have nothing to show for it!
Have you considered wire wrapping links between the buttons? It’s more work but I find wire wrapping sort of relaxing.
I’ll give it a gander, thanks! I really like the idea of the button garlands but I wasn’t loving any of the results I was getting and if I am going to be frogging something a bajillionty times I really should be working on my knitting that I’m procrastinating by doing this in the first place! Haha
I originally planned to do all one tone so that the ivory one would be like an old timey popcorn string but then it seemed like i didnt have enough buttons. (Trying to whittle stash collections) so i moved to mixing the two colors.
