WIP Wednesday - sigh of relief edition

That's it. I'm done. I made all the bags I am going to make, all of the ornaments that I am going to make. My Christmas sewing list has all been checked off. Some crossed off for sanity's sake, but all the projects that needed to be done are done!

What a glorious feeling! And now just for fun... a recap of all the crazy holiday stitching...

Weekender Bags - all three of them!


Dopp Kits + a tutorial - to go with the weekenders


Lego bag


Skirt


Stocking


The Dress


The Dress that didn't work


Bags and ornaments - I didn't end up with pictures of all of them... but you get the point!



So what's on tap for 2012?

I have E's King size Zig Zag as my only currently in progress project. Wow. Only one. Weird.

I am still working on Skill Builders Sampler! I still need to make block 20, but that's going to have to wait until next week.

I have joined in a Quilting Bee for 2012! We are called the Beejeebers, and it is hosted by Melissa at Happy Quilting! I am totally excited!! Funny story - Melissa asked for name suggestions, and I recommended Beejeebers as a joke. I was telling her that this is my first Bee, and it scared the beejeebers out of me. So the next question was about a name, so I put down that. haha! Everyone liked it. I think that is just plain awesome! :)


Other than that - I plan on being a little more reasonable next year. My unlimited sewing budget was, once again - summarily rejected. So, no more than one quilt per month, and I want to do a lot more "other" stuff - like cloths, bags, and things. Should be a great year!!

Hope everyone out there has a wonderful holiday season, and a wonderful New Year!!

K Linds, you are amazingly talented!!1 Love Auri's dress, it's beautiful! And I love your ornaments too. I can't wait until I hire you "miss talented pants" to make Addy a blanket for a big girl bed someday (I still love Shannons one that you made)

Loved catching up on your posts and reading about all the fun things you have planned for the new year. I think all that you were able to sew for the Christmas season is nothing short of amazing--have a Merry Christmas and a nice break from the sewing schedule!
