handmade christmas challenge

I feel productive if I can sew, make or design something on a regular basis (hopefully a little bit each day - but not always).  This week has been busy, but I have been able to sneak in a bit of crochet, and some sewing and have been making some Key Fobs that I sell in My Store that I think will be great for small Christmas presents for Kinder teachers and friends....

I have also been having fun with my ever growing pile of scraps and vintage fabrics....

I wanted to make some tote bags as more and more shops these days are not providing plastic bags (ie, spotlight!!), and it does feel good not to carry those ghastly green bags around all the time!!

I thought of having a cute little saying on it...

Then I remembered my little crochet flowers I bought from OneCrafteeMumma and thought they would be a great addition.  The bags are not finished yet, but I really don't think I can wait to give them out at Christmas, so I think two special friends will be benefiting from my little experiment...

Handmade christmas challenge;

I'm getting into the swing of things and finally bought some handmade goodies to start my Handmade Christmas Challenge - although it will be a double handmade effort here as these little beauties I got from the lovely Tamara at One Craftee Mumma will be used by moi to make pressie's for special people at Christmas...

Whilst I haven't yet confirmed what exactly I'll use each item for, possibilities are flowing, and I see cute little t-shirts with doiles sewn on for my neices, doily purses, or hair clips....

and with these, perhaps I'll make some embossed owl card pack or even framed paper owls to adorn a child's room.....
