I refuse to think about Christmas before I've celebrated Thanksgiving. Well, technically I guess that's not true. I try to start some of my Christmas crafts before Thanksgiving. But, Christmas songs, Christmas decorations, early run-ins with Santa Claus? I don't want any part ot those things until after I've stuffed myself with turkey and stuffing.
The Christmas crafts I started are going to be hostess gifts. I decided to make some coasters with cute Christmas fabric on one side and a little embroidery on the other side. So far, the unfinished process looks like this:
I'm using embroidery patterns from The Floss Box, Martha Stewart, and the book A Rainbow of Stitches.
I've got a ton of cute Christmas fabric. Not all of it will be made up for coasters. To be honest, I'm not sure how I'll use it. I went a little crazy in the fabric stores but I guarantee I'll figure something out.
I fell in love with this Alexander Henry fabric. I'm thinking it might look cute as a Christmas apron.
At the very least I could put a frame around this and enjoy it that way!
Now that I'm ready for Christmas it's full steam ahead. I hope there will be plenty of time to finish these Christmas crafts and others. Merry Christmas all!
