Christmas Schwag

So it's been a month, and now it's safe to post pics of what sister & I made and what we received for Christmas! I was spoiled! I got TWO sets of happy flannel pillowcases! I've made loads of them, for gifts and for sale, but no one had ever made ME a set.

Sister made these happy striped ones. And mom made me these the red & white cherry ones with little ribbon roses--in king size!



And yes, both sets are on my bed right now, with the third pair of pillows swathed in cloud-print flannel. It doesn't match but it's warmer than anything and makes me HAPPY!









Sister also made me a fabulous tote recycled from a torn Vargas print shower curtain. I don't have a pic of it, but it's very similar to one she sold on our Etsy site a while back. She also made me this adorable (and very warm) scarflette out of a beautiful green-and-blue beaded yarn. I picked it out, and I picked out the buttons ... and then completely forgot about it! So it was a nice surprise :)



Finally, sister also made me a new apron. Again, I picked out the fabric. Isn't it too cute? What we thought were colorful sushi rolls are in fact petit-fours. I still like to think they're sushi!

And to match, she made this adorable sushi roll pin cushion! It cracks me up every time I look at it.

Some Bits of Creation!

Sadly, I can't post the goodies that I have made for sister, since she and I share this blog; BUT, mom doesn't know about blog, so I can post HERS!!!! So, here they are: I made mom an apron out of some very happy shabby-chic fabric, and a matching pin-cushion. This is my first pin-cushion, and it is more about cutesy than useful-ness.

I also made her one of those new-fangled scarfettes (close to smurfette). Not the best, but it will be keeping neck warm, so is more useful than cutesy. It all just makes me want to go be more creative, just so I can post them here!!

So...what is everyone else making for the holidays??
