dish towel

So I got the idea to make these little dish towels over at The Idea Room. I was a bit nervous since I hadn't really done any sort of stitching since a brief cross stitching stint when I was 12. But, I think it turned out really cute! I gave this a gift for the Brentwood Stationer's Dirty Santa Gift Swap. It was the hot item of the night!

christmas party crafts

Here are a few things I made to help decorate for my "Merry and Bright" Christmas Party:

* I got the inspiration for the wreath over at this blog.

* Martha never fails....pom pom instructions!

O Christmas Tree!

It was fun to actually decorate a real house this year!!! I think it looks so pretty!

ICE!

Nothing like walking around in 9 degrees surrounded by ice to get you in the christmas spirit!
